Noses and WIPs – Sun 31st July 2016

By | July 31, 2016

Weirdly, both T and D have had nose issues today, T’s came in the form of a nosebleed and D’s as a tender “nose hole” as she calls a nostril.  It’s made for a day of cuddles and reassurance for D and reassurance for T (who doesn’t like cuddles and didn’t like the way his […]

My little bit of “Me”time – Tues 12th July 2016

By | July 12, 2016

I like Tuesdays during term time.  Do you know how I spend a couple of hours? I head to crochet group! I’ve been going since February and it’s something I’d always wanted to do, to learn to crochet.  My maternal grandma taught me how to knit but the thought of producing shapes from a hook […]

Oh, to be a Hooker #Prose4T 

By | May 18, 2016

Sometimes I share my crochet journey on here, it makes me pleased when I finish an item.  I couldn’t crochet a thing beyond “wriggly worms” until I went to a crochet group in February.  It’s enjoyable now, even if the thought of following a pattern scares me!  I’ve written a little poem, linking in with […]

Fluffy joins the posse – Sat 19th Sept 2015

By | September 19, 2015

D is a bit of a Bunny fiend, it’s no surprise. @autismbunny has been with her through anxieties, trips out and cuddles, she (AB) may have to put up with being in D’s backpack during the school day but, as soon as we’re out of that reception door, out AB springs and is tucked under […]

This week’s Cheerful Thoughts #R2BC

By | August 6, 2015

Nearly Friday and I could do with some positivity, the children have been fab (niggles aside) but I’ve been a bit “bleurgh”. So, onwards with some cheerfulness: 1.  Timing! Good old Mother Nature, I never know when my cycle appears or how long it will last, but when it does, it’s awful, truly awful.  Thank […]

Easy Peasy Woolly Football #NettieandherNeedles

By | August 6, 2015

After I’d made lanyards before the end of school term, T asked if I could knit him something.  Choices were rather limited as he finds wearing wool too itchy and I knew he wouldn’t “play” with any knitted football figures (and probably find them a bit too young for him too). What does T live and breathe? […]

Knitted Lanyards #NettieandherNeedles

By | July 26, 2015

Today has been a relatively calm day.  A day in which we’ve watched and heard the rain and I’ve thought how fortunate that we didn’t have to venture out (although Hubbie will now look over and scowl, because he did!) I’ve mentioned in my Word of the Week post how rediscovering just how relaxing a bit of […]

My Word For The Week – Fri 24th July 2015

By | July 24, 2015

Yippee! The school holidays are here and we’ve had one of those rainy days that I remember from my school holidays, it’s just rained ….. and rained ….. and rained.   However, because we haven’t had to head out in the afore-mentioned sogfest, it’s made for a relaxed end to the week.  A week in […]
