My lovely blog readers, it's that time again... The second batch of my horticulture exams are in less than two weeks and, just like last June, I must bury my head in my books until then and concentrate on revision. So no blog posts from me, I'm afraid, until some point after February 11th when … Continue reading AWOL

Beautiful right now: plants for winter
As you may recall, every Wednesday I leave the sproglet in the capable hands of my mother and trot off, unfettered and unencumbered, to Regent’s Park, where I spend the day learning all about horticulture (or “gardening” in layman’s terms…) I absolutely love this course, both for what I learn about and for the freedom … Continue reading Beautiful right now: plants for winter
Vintage maternity style
In the early days of pregnancy – before the bump has actually started to show – I always pore over photos of effortlessly glamorous pregnant ladies and lust after their clothes. I dream of similar outfits for myself. High waisted skirts and pencil belts, flowing capelets, and dresses with big collars all feature heavily. In … Continue reading Vintage maternity style
Frosty mornings
Urgh, all this rain! I can't bear the sogginess of it all. It's cheered me up no end that a few mornings this week I've woken not to the interminable patter of rain on the roof, but to the sight of frost on the ground and the big orange sun peeping out through the trees … Continue reading Frosty mornings
Garden moodboard: January
Hot on the heels of my lateness with new year’s resolutions (or lack thereof) I am also running a good few weeks late with my garden moodboard for January. What can I say, it’s been pissing it down outside and there is not a single new plant to show you from my Mum’s garden since … Continue reading Garden moodboard: January
New beginnings
Hello, hello dear readers! Happy 2014 and I hope you had a suitably joyously festive few weeks at Christmas and a great start to January. Around this time of year,* having shaken off the post-Christmas lethargy, I normally write myself a little list of things I could do across the course of the year. Much … Continue reading New beginnings
Woodland Christmas ornaments
Struck down for the past few days with a horrible pre-Christmas lurgy, I'm just popping in to share some photos I finally got round to taking of my air dry clay Christmas tree decorations... Now, unless mine is the only blog you read, I'm sure you will have seen variations of these at a number … Continue reading Woodland Christmas ornaments
Christmas crafting
After my frazzled, manic late-night making sessions of last December, I decided not to go for any homemade Christmas presents this year. A rather sensible decision, for me, what with temporarily living at my Mum’s, not having access to any of my supplies or, frankly, much time or energy spare at the moment… Everyone in … Continue reading Christmas crafting
Liberty fabric baubles
I know, I know, I had you at “Liberty fabric baubles,” didn’t I? There’s not much need to write anything more… I made up these little beauties a few weeks ago for my sister-in-law who was running a craft stall at a charity fair at the weekend. I’m not sure that nine little baubles will … Continue reading Liberty fabric baubles
17 homemade Christmas presents
This time last year, I put together a round up of my top 20 tutorials for homemade Christmas presents that I’d found elsewhere on the web, for the delectation of my lovely readers reader. (Ha! That is actually almost true. I had only been writing the blog for a few weeks and I was so … Continue reading 17 homemade Christmas presents
