I found a really cute hat pattern from this blog
It was nice and easy and finished in one weekend with just catching a moment to knit here and there. I had a really great book to read so if it wasn’t for that the hat might easily have been done in a couple of [...]
Luke showed me this afternoon how to correct the colour of photo’s so they don’t come up looking so dark and unprofessional.
It’s SO simple. Shows you what a little know-how can do. So I promise no more dark photo’s.
For a simple example, here you can’t see the detail of [...]
Friday was a very cold and wet day so Andy and I occupied ourselves with indoor activities such as lapbooking, sorting through cupboards etc. Andy decided to take Pooh and Hippo on a picnic so when I looked again they were all enjoying wooden blocks in the ‘park’…
After taking his ‘friends’ to observe the [...]
We get an average of 2-3 sunny days per week in the winter so Andy and I took advantage of the sun today cause there’s been LOTS of rain lately. Infact there’s been such a phenomenal amount of rain that we even had a flood… my herb garden… sniff, sniff…
This is the damage after [...]

Andy played with his sheet of stickers in his room and when finished came to supervise me cooking supper. When I asked where his stickers were (a innocent question to make conversation while cooking together) I was shown exactly where…
My friend is also a housewife and my neighbour so our kids play together most [...]
Andy and I had a picnic last week inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder’s ‘Little house on the Prairie’. We wrapped everything in brown paper as they used to do. I made homemade bread, homemade cookies and we packed in cheese to have on the bread. When we got back we had some [...]

Andy cut his foot on a stone while playing with our neighbour’s children and once I’ve bandaged it up he became a noodle. He objected to walking and bade me to prop him up on the couch…
after which he asked in a pathetic little ‘feel-sorry-for-me’ voice that he wanted his blanket… and proceeded to [...]
We’ve been busy this morning so that we can read and play this afternoon.
Andy doing his chores …
And when all the housework was done Andy and I baked his favourite biscuits but this time we did them in the shape of lollipops and decorated them with smarties and jelly tots…
He wanted to [...]
