Goings On

I have a quick teaser update for the yarn I showed you last week. The blanket is going well and it is ridiculously soft and cuddly. I honestly don't think I've ever made anything this snugly. It's going to be one big square (think granny square but using a different stitch). It looks like two…

The Move – Goodbye Guernsey

The move has crept up on me. I can't believe we've lived in Guernsey for three years. It feels like it wasn't long ago that my parents made the decision to move here temporarily and now we're leaving. The first photo we took when we moved into our flat here: I've loved my time here…

SAL update and finally some stitching

I blitzed some stitching over the last week which means, after having not stitched anything for about five weeks, I do have some cross stitch progress to show you just in time for the stitchalong! Here's where I was last time on my adventure project And here's where I am now: The bad news is…

Pre-Holiday Haul

There's nothing like a holiday to burn a hole in my bank account and I'm not even talking about the actual holiday or the travel insurance that I had to renew. It's all those little things you have to buy in. Some of them are boring holiday stuff like suntan lotion but I'm going to…

And now for something completely different…

Before anyone worries, I haven't abandoned my Christmas cross stitch, but I've been working on it since August and I needed a break. There's only so long you can stay interested in stitching white on red and apparently my limit is 6 months! I did do a few more of the snowflakes but it's started…

A Return

I'm back!! Okay so I got back from holiday last week but this is the first time I've gotten on the computer since so hello everyone! I've been catching up with all of your blogs and comments (which I admit was a little daunting after not having WiFi for two weeks). I haven't actually written…

I mean where do you even start and what happens if you have a flare/crash/massive spike in symptoms while…

The Move – One Year On

It's officially been a whole year since we upped sticks and made the move from our house in East London to our ground floor flat in Guernsey (Okay, so it's actually been more like one year and four days but I've been ill). I'm not sure I can explain just how much my life has…
