Yesterday was the AFL Grand Final in Australia. Now, I don’t follow footy and have never even watched a full game but my partner’s sister and family had invited us and their parents over to watch this one. So why not get into it for once?! Anyway, B and I got put in charge of desserts.… Continue reading Game time treats
Months before the end of the year, I have completely filled up my first bullet journal. This is largely because I used the daily log sections as a travel journal when my partner and I went to New York. We weren’t there long, but I really tried to detail all of the things we had… Continue reading New journal, new look
After knitting the sweater for my godson, I got very excited about starting another project. As you may have seen in my Knitter’s Log, there a whole host of things that I want to knit. But the ones that I have started and am most excited about are the matching bear beanie’s for my godson… Continue reading Tubular troubles
Since coming back to Australia I’ve felt a bit out of the loop with what’s going on around me. Case in point, I only found out very recently that my first cousin once removed (had to look that up) will be celebrating his first birthday tomorrow. So off I rushed to Spotlight to pick up some yarn,… Continue reading A beanie for one
While I was making the Peter Pan sweater for my godson, I kept a log of the time spent in my bullet journal because I wanted to know how long it took me to make. Well, I really liked this idea so I decided to make a dedicated journal to keep track of my knitting… Continue reading Knitter’s log
This post has been a long time coming (around 60 hours of work, according to the log kept in my bullet journal) but I have finally finished knitting the sweater for my godson! There were a lot of errors and a lot of worries about the fit, but in the end it was almost perfect.… Continue reading ‘Peter Pan’ sweater
So it’s been a bit of a mad rush (because I left it to the last minute, as usual) but I managed to create all but one of the cross-stitched drink sleeves I’d planned as a parting gift for my friends in San Francisco. Hurray! For a lot of them, I had to source patterns online… Continue reading Sleeves for friends
Thanks to pinterest, yesterday I discovered an article on improving your handwriting as an adult. I have always disliked my handwriting (it’s messy and child-like) so I was instantly hooked on the idea that it could be bettered. This is something that I really want to work on now and I didn’t want to rely on… Continue reading Handwriting efforts, part one
A while ago I wrote about my endeavours in creating a cross stitched drink sleeve. It takes quite a bit of time to make one, but I think I’ve refined the process as much as I can. I’m actually pretty excited about this one, though I’m not sure how much use the end results will… Continue reading Drink sleeves, cont’d
