What fun to have a garden swinging in the breeze! I'm in love with these Kokedama's or string gardens and am keen to make a few around the house. There's a fabulous video from Better Homes and Gardens using moss to contain your favourite plant, fern or flower. Is this something you would like to try?
To say I'm obsessed by chunky knitting is an understatement. It appeals to me on so many levels because I love things on a big scale and the thought of being dwarfed by a throw that totally encases the body with warmth, bulk and texture is enticing. The knitting needles are huge to knit these works of art, so big they could potentially give RSI by the end of the first row. I'm in the process of making a throw made from strips of fabric instead of wool that I'll show you soon. I have also just ordered some wool from Loopy Mango (in Limonata) and I can't wait to make a floor cushion. Can you smell a knitting diy coming soon? I'm so excited!

Our life has changed so much since our puppy entered our home nearly a year ago. How did we exist without him? His name is Sunny and he's known at the dog park as "the happy dog". Right now his paw is on my leg, blasting me with his liquid amber puppy dog eyes willing me to go for another walk. Resistance is futile. After this post we're off for a walk

Hair always seems to be the last thing to do before going out the door. Well, it is for me anyway! I usually figure if I have lipstick and blush on my face I'm doing well. If my hair isn't perfect then I'm doing OK
