New magazines including Cotton Time, the Christmas edition and new books including […]

knitting weather

Brrrr………..we woke up to a cold, windy and wet morning in Sydney. Just the kind of morning you want to have everyone out of the house by 9am to take miss keira to dance rehearsals! No, not really. So once she was at her rehearsal with her little friends we had a late breakfast, bit […]

and more new fabrics

I was doing so well with the daily blog posts but yesterday things were a bit crazy as I took a last minute specialist appointment for Elodie and it threw my day out combined with the fact that it was retro daddy’s first few days interstate with his new job. Why oh why we didn’t […]

I’m in Homespun Magazine

One of the most exciting things I’ve done this year (apart from having Elodie of course) was to organise and host the Don’t Look Now workshop in July. And it was so much fun I immediately told Kellie I wanted to do it again….or maybe I committed to doing it again before we actually had […]

crochet + cupcakes

moving on from yesterday’s dramas……I decided to pull out the crochet last night and de-stress. And nothing says I’m de-stressing like sitting in your peter alexander pj’s with a spot of crochet, a peppermint tea and chocolate wheatens.

another great mathilda’s

I also love […]

Mathilda’s this Saturday

Well I’m not making any progress on packing for Mathilda’s this Saturday. I do promise that you’ll find the retro mummy stall there at Paddington Town Hall from 9-1pm. I have the gorgeous Liss from Frills in the Hills running my stall. I’ll be there from 9 for a bit and back after 12 but decided […]

two weeks

time flies when…………..you aren’t getting any sleep! Well I do get a bit, little miss gives me 2 hours before midnight and an hour or two after 4am when she snuggles next to me, so I can’t complain too much. Especially as I’m getting more sleep compared to when the twins came home….. any sleep is better […]
