I love knitting, and love learning new ways to knit. Now I want to learn colourwork, which is also known as intarsia.
Intarsia or colourwork is a form of knitting where you knit with multiple colours at a time. Kind of like fair-isle, however the patterns aren’t so specific. With intarsia, you could have something [...]
It’s exciting that I’m finally starting to spin yarn!
So I’ve recently gotten a drop spindle and two bundles of roving, but the lady who I bought these items off of on Etsy also sent me an extra spindle and small bundle of Dorset wool roving and a sample of mulberry silk to try my hand [...]
I really love jewellery, and happily for me, my fiance loves jewellery on me, especially bangles, so now I’m blogging about what makes a good bangle to me.
I’ve always been a bit of a jewellery nut. I didn’t get an allowance or pocket money but when I would go and stay with my aunt [...]
The world seems to be changing, and not for the better.

I’m referencing debt, here, and I’m thinking that people are getting deeper and deeper into it, and it’s not good for them.
I mean, I only care because people have been doing it tough for a while now, and all these loan places promise people the instant gratification of getting what they’ve needed for a [...]
It’s an interesting question for all who are creative, so let’s discuss!
Hmm, I think I’m inspired by necessity, in many cases, as with a little side project I’ve decided to make for myself. You see, a little background to the project… Whenever I’m in town, I take my mobile phone so my fiancé, who’s at [...]
I stumbled onto this cute little dog when I was looking over Cute Overload earlier, and thought I should blog about his unique attire.
So yes, I was looking through all the cute pictures on Cute Overload and there was a post on this awesome Ninja Puppeh by the name of Boo. I had to [...]
