Crafting In The New Year

Imagine if I didn't go with the flow , yet sometimes I go against it and why not ?

I blog as mentioned before on a whim and a prayer , I don't have a word for  this year , for the more I would think about it , then January would be well and truely over.



Having scone and tea in a field .


Monday for me will be going to see the little Shetland ponies ( I'm allergic to horses and once stayed on a horse farm by mistake ended up in A & E )

Tuesday will be a picnic and hot chocolate in the woods ( last year I could last in the woods and my husband had to come home for the Tesco delivery , I was lost in the woods for 3 hours.)

Wednesday I may hum along to a one direction song , I repeat you tell no one of this .

Thursday trying to explain to the cat for the umpteenth that it can sleep in the new bed without the cardboard box , it's ok Binky Bear will protect you.




Friday I may attempt my nemesis: the Victoria Sponge cake, I've no idea why it feels me with dread but it does. I think it is in the baking matrix do you dare go down that rabbit hole?

Also pencils in looking at YouTube crochet videos ~ non nanna mode.

Recycling old Christmas cards not into gift tags but into new cards.

  1. I have a week coming up that looks a lot like yours. Perhaps it should have a blog of its own.

  11. I may just unfollow you jut for the 1D song....sad times ;-)

    Love that your cat is in the box..mine loved a box, one use to climb into a vase...strange thing.

    I struggle with Victoria sponge. I don't know why...flavoured sponges work every time...but not a plain Victoria! If you master it let me know!

  13. Awww! Love your week. I found myself singing along to One Direction. I then sat in the naughty corner to think about what I'd done.

  14. I need to watch YouTube to learn skills you know - you have inspired me.
    Am sure RedTedArt has a finger crocheting video - or did I dream that?

  23. I recycled all our Christmas cards this year, apart from the ones the girls wanted to save. I usually use them again but just couldn't be bothered to get creative this year!

  24. It's like my cats - they love everything but their soft lovely beds :)

  25. a picnic in the woods in Jan? Its cold - very very cold, its wet - very very wet which means muddy, a bit more windy that windy should be and there fore dangerous as trees bow over in the wind. I can only conclude you must be mad. Sit in front of your fire with your hot choc and scone - or have I lost my sense of adventure?

  26. *shakes head in despair* One Direction will never ever darken this doorstep
