We are in week 2 of the Easter holidays, so we’ve been ever so busy going places. On the days Mr C has been off, we have ventured quite far from home which allowed me to do some car knitting/crochet between navigating duties. I sort of lost the love for knitting and crochet last week-I…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-17th April
There hasn’t been much to report lately, but I do have a new WIP and progress on an older one.

This week much of the UK has been covered in snow. We have been really lucky and escaped it-as much as it is fun for the children to play in, it isn’t so enjoyable as a grown up who has to drive to work in it. We had a sprinkling, but certainly not enough for…… Continue reading The Not So Snowy Snowman
