Almost December folks! Not long until Christmas! And I am (slightly smug-ly) delighted to say that I have almost ALL my Christmas presents bought! This has got to be a record for me, I am normally only just starting at this point in the year. Perhaps it is the influence of my very organised boyfriend, or perhaps it is because my parents are...
I know I kind of intended for this blog to be about crafty stuff, but to be honest it's turning into an 'all things I love' blog instead! Thats why I've posted a load of photos (since I love photography) and why I am now posting a bit about cooking (oh, and I have my banana bread post too!). I love fish, but I...
2 posts in one day - go me! This post is just a group of photos from around my house of all the lovely red things I have. My kitchen and living room are red white and black and I get a little carried away buying lovely things for it - if its red and white spots I LOVE IT! Its actually turning...
I think I had said I would post these pics a while back, but I have only gotten round to taking the photos now! Anyway. When I got my lovely sewing machine from my dear kind parents (keeping them sweet in case they ever read this blog! lol), I realised I would be best to have a dedicated space for it to live...

I was able to make quite a neat button hole after only a couple of practise runs. The foot has a place to put the actual button in it so that the...
Well I thought it was about time that I attempted to use my sewing machine! My mum, bless her, was very excited about the whole situation and scurried off to her sewing room and came back with a 'make your very first skirt kit' (Lettie Wilson Copyright 2009 - lol, joke!) where she basically gathered up every thing I might need to make...
This is a really magical country road in the back of beyond. I stumbled across the exsistence of this place when I was at the Natural History Museum in London at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition in 2007. The photograph really took me aback, and even more so when I discovered that this place was on my doorstep (well in Northern...
The sun managed to break through the heavy grey clouds, the rain gave us a day off and we were greeted by the most glorious day last Sunday! What better way to spend a sunny November afternoon than go for a walk in the Mournes (our wee, but stunning, mountain range in Northern Ireland). My wonderful boyfriend even made us a picnic including...
