400 Posts!
Posted in miscellaneous on Mar 7th, 2012
This is my 400th post! What I have enjoyed most about blogging is looking back and seeing firstly what I have done and secondly how I did it. I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years (it will be 5 years on the 18th of March). In that time I have learnt how to free motion [...]

Audible Books
Posted in miscellaneous on Feb 21st, 2012
While sewing or quilting I listen to audio books. I find the books at audible.com and I use the audible app on my ipod to listen to them. This system works well for me – I even wrote a review of the latest ‘reading’. I thought I would blog about this because it is always [...]

May (and now they must be called June) Socks
Posted in Knitting, miscellaneous, Sock Knitting on Jun 13th, 2011

As it was Australia Day yesterday, I made a pavlova. No image we ate it before I could take a photo. I used the recipe out of the How to Eat cook book by Nigella Lawson. It’s a really easy thing to make – crunchy on the outside but full of sticky sweet goodness on [...]
A Year of SewWitty
Posted in miscellaneous on Jan 1st, 2011
Some finished objects for 2010 Back on January the 1st 2010 I wrote craft resolutions for the year. Here is that post … My plan for 2010 is to consume less. So to make that happen I’m not going to buy any fabric this year or knitting yarn. I don’t have a stash of quilt [...]
Time Wasting
Posted in miscellaneous on Oct 28th, 2010
I spend most of my afternoons watching my girls completing various different activities; music, ballet, swimming etc. This should be prime knitting time, however, it mostly is reading time or chatting to other mums time. Hence I have no progress to show.
Ipod Touch Calendar Died
Posted in miscellaneous on Oct 12th, 2010
I rely completely on the Calendar of my Ipod touch. Today my ipod froze and I had to restore it to it’s factory settings. Then the backup didn’t work (there was some error). Everything else was OK, but not my calendar! All of those appointments and the birthdays! As you can imagine I wasted a [...]
