You might remember that about a week ago, I went to a cookie exchange, and I had been trawling through Pinterest for the perfect recipe. I thought I had struck it when I found the super simple Nutella cookie recipe, but alas disaster struck. I was sure that my cookie exchange was on the Saturday… Continue reading Easiest Cookies EVER
I decided, recently to start the WordPress University course on “finding everyday inspiration”. I figured that it might help me get back on the horse so to speak, since I’ve decided to start blogging again. The first email that they sent asked me to write about, well, why I write.

I haven’t posted in a couple of days and I feel really bad about that, but I got a really weird pain in my right hand that wet right down through my wrist (weird, right?) so I haven’t been doing any crochet for a few days, just to rest the hand for a little bit.… Continue reading A Confession

Tonight I came home from work to a lovely surprise. The lovely Bob from Bob Crochets has nominated me – little old me!! – for a Liebster Award.

Bob’s words left me absolutely flabbergasted, I… Continue reading The Liebster Award
I found this square floating around online, and immediately wanted to try it! It didn’t look too complicated, so in I jumped.
