Testing Testing

A new app... And a wee test...

Revisiting older posts...

Looking through my blog... For links and inspiration.

Rediscovered my Moleskine Hacks list.

 

Looking forward to...

Spending some time with my new Moleskine diary tomorrow. I love my iPad but I need a pen and paper to doodle.

Hello 2013

Some resolutions....

• Spend more time on Pinterest
• Drink more Gin
• Keep a paper diary again...
• Doodle more
• Grow less varieties of veg and flowers... Pick a few and grow them well
• Sort out the bloody conservatory!
• Start menu planning again
• Knit lots of socks
• Wear more make up while I still can!

half moon manicure

Whilst searching for ways to block mohair, I came across this post which led to this tutorial for a half moon manicure at Wayward Daughter.

 

Love it... Must look out some stickers....

Hello

It's been a while...

The Woolly Brew yarn shop is now open!

It's taken 32 days, and a couple of years of planning, but today Karen and I made our first sales.  We survived, the customer survived and the till eventually stopped beeping at me.

I also got an iPad! Thanks to a very generous brother and a Black Friday sale it arrived this week.

Still finding my way but it's very intuitive.  I'm typing this on it!

Still need to work out a few things... But love it.

Calendar Challenge - October 2011
