Hey all – long time no write! Summer sucked me in and spit me back out again – I can’t believe September is already here – packing lunches and homework again. Neither of these two activities rates high on my list of favourties due to the amount of knitting time lost during a [...]
I am…well…ridiculously wrecked. See the date? That is the day I uploaded the photos to blogger…as opposed to TODAY which is the 18th of August.
The new job is kicking me in the rear. I can’t explain why. It isn’t far off what I was doing before…just…more.

I was SO good for 3 whole months!!! Seriously good. Didn’t even look at other yarn good. But then..I couldn’t help myself. It was no big deal really. One lousy skein. The trollop screamed at me from afar (after I routed through the basket for a colour I liked and then stepped back to admire [...]

Today was the day. The day to pull out the knitting basket and find out what the hell is actually IN there. And it wasn’t pretty.
But first up – kitchen pics because someone has been asking and who am I to refuse?
The counter is actually a bit more rosy than the picture which makes it [...]
