Plummy solid square crochet blanket 3 Jun 2013 | 08:45 pm
This is the second crochet blanket I’ve made in two months. Yes, I know it’s June and gloriously sunny outside but what can I say? I live in the north of England and I’m realistic. While I was finishi...
Attack of the Crochet Claw 2 Apr 2013 | 10:55 pm
One of the reasons my crafting extravaganza hasn’t gone as planned is because of my hands. Between lots of wet felting, crochet and protecting my super-sensitive new scar over the last month, they’ve ...
Turning a box file into a sewing kit, pff too easy 1 Apr 2013 | 07:36 pm
Since most of April will be taken up with dramatic shenanigans, I decided that I should try to clear some things from my “WANT TO MAKE!!!” crafty to-do list during our short break over Easter. I found...
Catching up with my crafting 23 Mar 2013 | 11:05 pm
2012 was my year that didn’t happen. A combination of circumstances and mood meant I achieved very little all year. It bummed me out until I just accepted it, and in comparison 2013 has been chipper a...
Chickens on a snow day 21 Jan 2013 | 06:19 pm

(Hi, happy new year, hope you’re all well. I’ve really got out of this blogging lark, haven’t I? :) ) Swillington Farm, the awesome organic farm near Leeds, has linked to my very old post about their ...
Swirly ear warmer 30 Nov 2012 | 12:31 am
No more cold ears while dog walking for me – I made myself an ear warmer band from an abandoned half-finished beanie this afternoon. I’ve got an ear-flapped woolly hat for really cold days but this is...
Things I’d change about my chicken coop/run set-up 26 Oct 2012 | 08:20 pm
This is probably more a pensive “avoid this next time” post than an actual to-do list, though I am going to try to come up with solutions in case I actually get enough energy to act. The “lips” of the...
And when I got there, the nest box was bare 23 Oct 2012 | 09:28 pm
For the first time since getting our first birds two-and-a-half years ago, there weren’t any eggs in the nest box today. Even when the temperature was minus-stupid degrees C a couple of winters ago, t...
Ickle egg 17 Oct 2012 | 06:52 pm
We had our first egg from the new chickens yesterday – not bad for day two! I’ve paired it up with one of today’s lays. As you can see, it’s smaller than the eggs we normally get – a pullet egg rather...
