Traditional new years resolutions are things like stop smoking, loose weight, etc. This year I decided to approach the question differently. Instead of looking at what is wrong I choose to look at what I want. To look forward positively instead of backwards/current moment with negativitiy. I asked myself how I would live my life if [...]
Baby Animals are the cutiest! And as a knitter a combo of kittens and knitwear is enough to make me go weak at the knees. It’s Christmas come early! To help that feeling along even more: it’s snowing in London (Yay!) and I received yarn that I ordered for a new Happy Living Pattern Design and a black [...]
I’m so excited. Tonight is the start of my Shiva Rea workshop here in London at TriYoga. It will last the whole weekend and as a newbie yogini I’m a little bit nervous. We’ll be chewing on Living Yoga Sadhana’s.
Basically from what I now (before the workshop) understand is that we can use four paths of [...]
Last winter I finally bought Boutique Knits, a knitting book that had long been on my Amazon wish list. Created by Laura Irwin for Interweave Knits and full of very posh and classy knits. I loved the cover project, the Side Slip Cloche, and actually found the yarn that was no longer in production on [...]
I’ve alway been keen on communication. My mom often says she needed earplugs once I started talking as I just wouldn’t stop. Throughout the years I’ve kept up this talkative reputation and only in the last decade I’ve mellowed down a bit. Trying to think once in while before blurting things out. Pacing myself. Not [...]
About a year ago I watched a Channel 4 program here in the UK called Osama Loves. And I thought it was great. Think about it: there are so many people called Osama – a very comon name in the (middle) east. And all these men and boys are NOT that Osama. So who are [...]
I’ve not been blogging for a while now and this is due to the fact that I’m really busy. Half November I started a temp job working as a bookseller in a big shoppingmall near where I live (Bluewater). This means that I don’t have much time off. The time I do have off work [...]
A few years ago there was this great song called “wear sunscreen”. It was based on a text that was published as a column in The Chicago Tribune. It reads like and graduation speech and it is one of the best texts ever for someone young. Now that I’m approaching the big 3 0 I [...]
Did I get lucky or what? After all the gorgeous scarfs seen on here and hoping they might be for me, I got such a nice one you wouldn’t believe it (hence the pics). The package was battered and bruised from it’s long journey all the way from Texas to Kent, UK. But everything inside [...]
Oh my! I think I need some help. This whole craft explosion is not very healthy at all. Not only am I completley obsessed by yarn and fabrics, patterns and craft podcast (on which I should do a blog entry, there are soooo many cool podcasts out there), but now I’m turning into a freaky [...]
