Feeling Blue…
I’m gonna go make something pretty to cheer myself up. *nods*.

Today’s three positive things:
1) Little Man slept til after 8am. :O 2) I managed to get bathed in relative peace, dressed and ready for the training session without drama, fuss or last minute panic filled changing of clothes. 3) Came out of training session fired up and without brain imploding (result!) despite LOTS of information being taken in. 4) Even got home in…

I Hereby Forewarn of Curmudgeonry
cur•mudg•eon (kərˈmʌdʒ ən) a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person. Well, that’d be me then. My brain is full. The kind of full that a suitcase is when you have to sit all the children and next door’s dog on it to get it shut. My stomach is empty. In fact it was talking louder than the speaker at today’s training session.…

Oh WOW Blogging makes my head hurt
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have spent far too many hours tweaking and adding and subtracting links and photos and words and and and… now my brain hurts. I hope what I’ve got left resembles a website, and that the information contained herein is what I intended. Moreover, I hope that I don’t get told off by Admin Alis tomorrow that…

A Moment of Calm
This is a poem I wrote back in May of 2010… for my beautiful, comical larger-than-life daughter “Mumble”, who lights up my life and my day, and whose awesome temper tantrums I love almost as much as her cuddles. She was, and still is, my everything and makes me proud every day to be her Mummy. Then, she was 17…

Eeeekkk! How Exciting! My first pattern has been released!
Welllllll…. the tallest Mini Mumbler has been bossing me around again, and telling me off for getting it wrong… *sigh* and finally, after a couple of sighs and rolled eyes and “no, Mummy that’s WRONG”s…. I’ve actually managed to design something that passed Mumble Muster! Yay for me! Can you believe my beautiful, hilarious girl is almost 4 years old?…

For a Dear Friend.
As of yet, we’ve not met in person…. But this lady has played a major part in me recovering from the terrible times of the last 12 months. She’s such a sunny, kind, wonderful lady, always with time to talk, despite her inordinately busy schedule, and never without losing that sunshine from her manner. Over the time I’ve known her,…

Pitt Stop Hat
Another of The Designer Daughter’s idea’s coming to fruition: There she stands, her tiny little frame with her beautiful sweet little voice, asking me “Can you please make me sumfin wif this?” Holding out in her small, star shaped hands, a ball of whatever took her fancy at the yarn shop this morning. Today’s purchase: A ball of pinkish yellowish…

This thingy asking me for what’s on my mind…
fine, ok…. you asked for it… Here’s my thought process over the last five minutes or so…. the sequence, in my head, flows logically from one thing to another. This is how my mind works. ALL. The. Time. I can’t switch it off. It doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t shut up. Even when I want silence it’s wittering on to itself.…

Sling-It-Together Slouch
Introducing, hot off the hook, a totally unique and whimsical stylish slouchy hat. With its fabulous hand turned feature wooden button, and random array of stitches, its a texturefilled, lightweight yet warm statement which looks great in either solid colours or self striping yarns. Its totally “freeform” design means that no two will EVER be the same, making these as unique…

Twinkle, Twinkle, Superstar….
These gorgeous gloves are both stylish and terrifically warm. Due to the nature of its construction, the star stitch involves several strands of yarn layering on top of itself to create a deep trap of air, and encouraging an insulating barrier between your hands and those biting temperatures we’ve all been feeling lately. The beauty of this stitch is…

The Basket Case
This gorgeously textured and sumptuously squishy super thick beanie is an incredibly versatile hat. It’s subtle enough to complement any outfit, for keeping you warm regardless of whether the event is for business or pleasure. Simple solid-coloured yarns show this hat off at its best and you can choose from a massive range, however, if you’d prefer a little more variation,…

Monday Morning Giggles
Mr Mumble reading “Fox in Socks” by Dr. Seuss… possibly the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard. The fact that Smallest Mumbler is hiding under my chair rocking and playing with yarn probably gives you an idea of just how painful it is. Tallest Mini Mumbler, of course, thinks the whole thing is brilliant and loving story time with…

It’s Like Wearing A Duvet!
Hot off the hook! MumblesMummy’s solution to having to get up (never mind go out) in this totally cacktastic weather?! THE OVERSIZE COWL! It’s that scrummy and warm that I really don’t want to post it out. I want to keep it cos you just KNOW I’ll get hypothermia or something on the way to school without it… (looks innocently,…
