The honeymoon we’ll have after we secretly elope, that is!
My fiancé are planning on eloping next January, and we’ve been saving for it! And it’s going well! We know the sort of rings we want, the exact specifications, and will have them made for us when it’s closer to the date, and we’re still trying [...]

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 [...]

I couldn’t resist throwing my opinion out there like so many other bloggers.
Okay so run down just in case you’ve missed all this, which would be bloody amazing because the story is everywhere, but here it is anyway. In mid-December, Google noticed that someone was trying to attack it. No news there, that happens [...]
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 [...]
