Dresses for girls: homemade baby presents

July 30, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

A momentous event occurred a few weeks ago. My sister gave birth to a baby girl. Of course, every birth is pretty momentous -- a life is begun where before there wasn't one -- but this was especially astounding as the baby was the first of her generation to not be a boy... Between me … Continue reading Dresses for girls: homemade baby presents

For the love of knit

May 14, 2014June 2, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 10 Comments

In the last two weeks of my pregnancy, a haze of knitting obsessiveness descended upon me. I couldn’t put down my needles for a day. Heck, I couldn’t put down my needles for an hour. As far as a nesting instinct goes, I think it’s a pretty good one. Sure, my fridge was filthy, but … Continue reading For the love of knit

A boy’s favourite things

April 24, 2014August 24, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

I’m the oldest of four siblings, all born within six years of each other. (Looking back now, with the experience of having my own family, I wonder how on earth my Mum coped without having a serious breakdown, or running off with a Greek waiter at least once in my childhood. But, to the best … Continue reading A boy’s favourite things

A finished baby blanket

April 14, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

As I mentioned in my last post, I managed to summon up a burst of knitting energy recently and finish off the blanket that I started about three months ago for the impending new arrival (aka sproglet mi). After sewing in all the ends (oh, such a tedious process, I always put it off and … Continue reading A finished baby blanket

Homemade baby presents; a quandary

April 10, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 10 Comments

Can you give my weary brain a little help this fine spring morning? I'm having a quandary about what to make for the imminent arrival of my future niecephew (tbc) and could use some advice... When my sister had her first baby, last summer, I put together a lovely little box full of homemade goodies: … Continue reading Homemade baby presents; a quandary

A very important arrival

August 20, 2013August 26, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 21 Comments

Last week I became an Aunt for the very first time.* One of my sisters had a baby boy and I can report, completely objectively of course, that he is one of the cutest little babies ever to be born. I’d been knitting a blanket for the new arrival for a ridiculously long time, but … Continue reading A very important arrival

Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial

July 15, 2013August 30, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 19 Comments

About, ooooh, five months ago I decided to make my sproglet some bibs. He was six months old at the time and I wanted a bib of a decent length to actually catch all the food he was spilling down his front as I was weaning him. After a very perfunctory Google, I couldn't find … Continue reading Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial

It’s very remiss of me, but I haven’t yet mentioned that my Belle Époque tulips have started blooming. If you’ve been following me for more than a year you know what’s in store 😉 If you’re new, buckle up, there’s going to be some tulip spam ahead while these beauties are in flower...
Icymi: I caught up with the postponed Sunday night plant clinic last night. The question stickers weren’t working anymore, so I just had to type everything out, so anyone who asked me a question won’t get an alert I’m afraid! But head to my Stories for a read — and I’ll save to highlights today too. (Plant clinic 3.)

Sitting room view. I spent the best part of a week staring at this in wisdom tooth gloom. Thanks for putting up with my misery and all the kind messages. Pleased to report, I am up and about again now and not feeling quite so moany. Happy bank holiday Friday to you all!
