baking and making with my family of 9
There hasn’t been much in the knitting department lately. I do have 2 projects on the go at the moment……………..but progress is slow.

Saturday mornings here usually involve staying in my pyjamas a little longer than usual, housework, groceries and family time while Keira takes her art class. But this morning I was up early and heading out to a Tim Coulson photography workshop for the day. Just what I needed to work on my photography and also a […]
