1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, skip two … Oh sorry, just doing another row. I’ve been hard at it since last I blogged, in fact I have a very sore thumb due to my many hours of crochet yesterday.
At the craft shop I was extremely fortunate and found a table dedicated to discounted wool, […]

Many years ago, just like everyone else, I crocheted a lap blanket using the traditional coloured squares.   By mid way through the project I realised I hated nasty nylon yarn; I also hated every colour that I had chosen.  I foolishly used neon, yes neon, YUK!.  At this stage in my crocheting career I also learned a […]

We had a magnificent Easter long weekend filled with family, friends, chocolate and, for the first time in months, lots and lots of rain. 

 I foolishly optimistically ventured to the shopping centre on Saturday morning feeling a little apprehensive about how many others had the same idea and biting my lip over how long was is […]

I’m going to start this post with this question, “Why hasn’t anyone told me about Greek salad before?”.  Last Sunday I had my first taste and now I’m addicted.  We had it on Monday night with our dinner, I then had it for lunch on Wednesday and tonight we had lamb kebabs with…. Greek salad.  […]

I spent yesterday getting perfectly pampered, from the top of my head to the very tips of my toes.  My wonderful girlfriend Jo had this brilliant idea to invite eight of her friends, including lucky me, to come over to her place for an entire day of pampering.  We each brought something delicious and healthy […]

One of the things that Melbourne is famous for is the Queen Victoria Market.  It is a huge market in the centre of Melbourne and sells all manner of things, from clothing to jewellery, from fruit to fish and everything in between.  I probably go once a year and more if we have visitors from […]

I live in a house full of boys!  A husband, two sons’, even the dog’s a boy.  All male!  This is such a contrast to my childhood when my poor old Dad was out-numbered by a wife and three daughters.  I now know just how he felt.

My home has not a pretty, pink, frilly thing […]
