baking and making with my family of 9

I love to bake. It just makes me happy. And one of the memories I have of growing up is baking on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and taking it out to my dad who was usually in the garage or watching some sport on TV. My mum wasn’t as much of a fan of our baking […]

OK, so I have this strange addiction thing and it goes like this. I buy a pattern, I knit it, I fall in love with it and make it again. And again. And before you know it I’ve just knitted the same pattern 6 or so times. Yes. That is the power of the Kina. It’s […]
