  • on their way out

    Too much multi tasking today got me nowhere.

  • some old holiday snaps

    Can’t wait for more holidays like this. Ah yes, and I deleted all my projects off Ravelry. Apologies for any dead links.

  • going through some old photos

    That’s what I’ve been doing. And building new websites. Amongst other things.

  • a fairly momentous occasion

    A little while ago I was asked to participate in the Flickr Collection on Getty. And yesterday I received an email from a friend saying my photos were up. Conveniently after I’d deleted my flickr account. Oops (Megan’s making t-shirts for that). I knew that was going to happen.

  • crystal clear

    Today I’m thirty six. And whether I’d thought about it earlier or not it feels like a whole new beginning – stepping out of the last ten years and into today. Finishing with flickr this week was hard – it was like diving into an early summer sea – I really had to muster up…

  • dear universe…

    Thank you very much for listening the other day when you and I had some serious words. Thank you for materialising work for Kevin so I can stay at home with the girls. Thank you for dropping some money from the sky when we so seriously needed it. Thank you for making sure Edith was…

  • 01

    I just stumbled upon yellow week at Erin’s. Funnily only yesterday I was thinking to myself there’s something about yellow here as we got the train to Richmond, leaving our daffodil filled house, avec child clad in yellow and yellow pram bag. Heck, I even wore my citrine necklace for the first time in over…

    …how many cakes have you baked since the last one? A: quite a few. Astrid likes cake. Especially the new ones mummy has been baking. From her new cookbook – Off the Shelf. The recipe for raspberry and peach tart that mummy has totally changed, using almond meal and spelt flour and different berries each…

  • happiness*

    pyjama pants : top liberty dante in green, bottom linnet cotton floral. pattern from robe rouge This morning I woke up and all these amazing things came flooding into my mind. How everything I’d ever dreamed of for myself had all actually come true after all. And while I’d always thought I’d never achieved so…

  • So, what did you do today Charlotte?

    Forgotten Tales from Hedgehog Fibres – I love this Well, I dropped Astrid off at Lorraine’s, went for coffee and knitted a couple of inches of Astrid’s wrist warmers. Then I came home, sent an email or two, during the course of which I wrote a list of things I wanted to do and things…

  • The Alchemists

    Such magic has been around me this week. Knitting time. Time to meditate. Winding time. Time for calm. Time for patience. A time to begin, slowly slowly, to transform what resides in the mind. There is simply no arguing with, nor hurrying along, tangled silk. A green, forest path, an enchanted forest, an emerald forest,…

  • immer hin

    There’s a phrase in german, immer hin, which means something along the lines of always going there, always getting there, always moving towards it. Immer hin. Yeah. Things might take a while but you’ll get there in the end. A little conversation about rhubarb cake reminded me of it recently. I like immer hin you…
