I’ve started a new knitting project: Le Slouch Bleu
I’ve been spotting slouchy berets all over the place. As a great fan of hats I celebrate this new reincarnation of the beret into the fashion scene. Also we saw a lot of knitwear on the catwalk for this season. Yes every few years the design world [...]
Sometimes you just don’t know. No matter how hard you think, you just can’t get your brain to work. It’s in there and you know it is, but you can’t get it out. So what do you do?? You get online and type.
I was plagued by this know-but-don’t-know phenomenon every time I saw this add [...]
My Parents came over for a visit to London and it was great. They came to London once before but that was only for one day and not a succes at all. So I really wanted to make this an unforgettable visit. But as they are also my parents there had to be enough in [...]
I am an autumn child and I always feel fantastic when it arrives. This year I was not very much looking forward to it as we had a really bad summer. Normally I get fed up with all the warm days and long for the cool calm of Autumn. Still now that it has come [...]
Why, oh why doesn’t Macy’s ship to Europe? I don’t get that at all. It’s 2007 for God sake. We can take space holidays and dive to the bottom of the ocean, but sending a product (or ten) to Europe is impossible!!! Don’t they realise that with the position of the dollar at the moment [...]

But what about me (and you)? We want that golden glow too. For both face and soul. So I set out and looked around [...]
I love my iPod. No, really I mean it I LOVE my iPod. I use it from 8.30 in the morning to 7.15 at night on weekdays almost non stop. And I have a mini, not even a proper one (it’s on the wish list, no worries). Anyway I was reading the Times and saw [...]
When I woke up on the last morning in the Netherlands I was greeted by Max the cat. Rigtje and Frank (my friends) have two: a black cat named Bo and this cutie named Max. I opened the door to my bedroom and there he was waiting patiently. Then he snuggled up on my sheets [...]
I’m visiting my pregnant friend Rigtje in the Netherlands and she is doing really well. I swear she’s got the best looking bump I’ve every seen. We went shopping on a Saturday and here are a few Dutch things I spotted whilst browsing.
Windmill Pillow
First of a pillow in Lime and Aqua with this windmill on [...]
There are things that never stop to amaze me. One is the ingenuity of humans. A few years ago I saw a program on Dutch tv, Noorderlicht, that had two Germans show a paint they had developed that had characteristics they took from the Lotus plant. They saw that the leaves didn’t seem to get [...]
