baking and making with my family of 9
Work is on go slow in other parts of the house. We are saving up to pay for the carpet (we are determined to pay cash for everything we do in this house and I’m learning patience and also the value of money) and retro daddy is soon to start doing a spot of painting […]

One of my favourite online places to hang out is ravelry. In fact sometimes I start knitting or want to knit something and spend just a little too long on ravelry instead of knitting. Anyway I often get asked questions about kinas or a knitting question and I answer it and then it gets a […]

Prepare to be amazed………………… I can’t quite believe that the green carpet came out today. I know it’s just the downstairs but after living with this carpet for almost a year, well I just kind of thought that it was never going to come out. At our old house it was all floorboards and white walls […]

We move out tomorrow for the week so that the floors can be done downstairs. It’s been an exhausting weekend of moving out furniture and stuff. Retro daddy would walk past me with a few tubs or boxes and say ‘hi hoarder’. Ahem, I think I might be doing a big clear out before I […]
