I bought Rowans Baby Crochet book by Lois Daykin a few years ago when my best friend was expecting her first baby. Although in the end I never used it because I choose to knit her other things. Now that I’m expecting myself I thought it was a great moment to revisit the book.
I wanted [...]
So the workshop I mentioned yesterday stated last night. So far I can say this: OMG it’s fantastic!!!
First it was a bit akward to see someone you only know from DVD’s and magazines in real life. She is a lot less muscular that I thought she would be (considering the mastery of yoga she has reached [...]
My last post was about the new BBC makeover of Jane Austen’s Emma. The series has come to an end and I thought it was fab. Nothing like seeing Jonny Lee Miller in a period drama. Against convention I always struggled liking Kate Beckinsale’s Emma and loved innocent gwyneth paltrow’s version of Emma. Romola Garai [...]
Hoooray! A new BBC adaptation of Emma is on my screen. There is nothing I like more than Jane Austen’s stories, both in print or on the (small) screen.
Emma is being played by gorgeous Romola Garai (Daniel Daronda) and Jonny Lee Miller (Mansfield Park) makes for a dashing Mr Knightley. This is a modernised version [...]
After my first post on Shiva Rea – Go with the flow yoga I bought more of her DVD’s. New to my collection are Creative Core Abs and Flow Yoga for Beginners. You’ll find reviews for the Creative Core Abs below, I need to do the Flow Yoga for Beginners DVD a bit more before [...]

I loved the cover project, the Side Slip Cloche, and actually found the yarn that was no longer in production on [...]
Life flows and it doesn’t care if you flow with it or not. Life flows. And you have the choice flow with it or struggle against it. The last few months I’ve been directing my focus downstream. Flowing with life as much as I can. And the more I flow downstream the more tools I [...]
Everyone has their weaknesses. Some can’t say no to cheese, others find gadgets irresistible. As some of you might know, my Achilles heel is magazines (amongst other things like desserts, books and earrings). This month the I managed quite a selection already.
Ofcourse I couldn’t leave the second edition of Jamie behind on the shelves. It’s [...]
Last year ITV had a Jane Austen Season and showed three new adaptations and one older one on the telly. One of them I didn’t like at all, one was oke and two where very good indeed. See my review below for more info. For all of you who already know all about any and [...]
In October 2007 I too became a victim of the No7 Protect & Perfect Serum hype. As you can read in my second blog post on the subject, Protect and Perfect, review 1, it did do a good job, an extremely good job considering the reactions. Now I’ve been using the whole line and I [...]
