The healing powers of knitting.
It’s been an interesting time. It feels like ages and ages since I went to my Oxford Bluestockings weekly knit group and was presented with this incredibly beautiful blanket that the knitters had made, but in fact it was only just over a week and a half ago. Perhaps that’s because the time between falling […]
Messy Tuesdays…
When I pulled out the extremely random collection of ideas that is my knitting diary/notebook, Lara Suggested that for Messy Tuesdays I post about it. The more I thought about the relationship between the journal and Messy Tuesdays, the more relevant this seemed. For a journal is like a blog… and it can be tempting […]
Messy Tuesdays and Ravelry Love.
Today being Messy Tuesday, I present the edifying spectacle of My Car after I emptied my commercial storage at the weekend. The back seats are folded down and the entire bootspace is full of crap including a small filing cabinet that is reserved for Gershamabob if she desires it! The second area of mess lies […]
C’est fini.
It is over. When I took this photo, I was commenting on how you could practically hear the abandon, the drunken singing of the snowmen… the slurred words, the sheer joy of life in the sun. Seconds later, splat. C’est la vie. It is finished.
Let it Snow!
What a beautiful surprise to wake up to a white world this morning. Isn’t snow photogenic? Especially with little green leaves and buds poking through. The lovely walk was followed by a much less sophisticated spree of snowman-building. We ended up building his’n’hers snowmen. We are wondering whether or not to open a sweepstake on […]
The joy of Green Things
This Tuesday was relatively tidy. I am somewhat demented with uncharacteristic, pre-surgery-related tidiness and was away with my methodical and neat brother over the weekend, which somewhat subdued my Messy Tuesday urges. I am sure there are unlimited messes in my future so I am not sad to have missed messy Tuesday this week and […]
Messy Tuesday
Messy Tuesdays Wednesdays. Hmm. You are not your perfectly timed blog post is the new addition to my evolving manifesto. The Tuesday-ness of Messy Tuesdays is quite arbitrary; I think bad feelings relating to not managing to post about one’s mess on time kind of defeat the affirmative objectives of the Messy Tuesdays brief. The […]
Bobby Baker reviewed
I was delighted today to discover that the review I wrote of Bobby Baker’s Bumper Package is linked from her official website! To celebrate, I re-present it here. Bobby Baker’s BUMPER PACKAGE Toynbee Studios, London 8 – 9 March 2008 Reviewed by: Felicity Ford Bobby Baker’s work achieves an amazing resonance among women because the […]
Sounds I love… a swap.
I am organising an online Swap. The idea is to see how other people engage with the idea of listing or archiving everyday sounds they hear. The idea is to list everyday sounds and then to send them to 6 other people. 6 other people in turn send you a list of everyday sounds they […]
