I wish I has some exciting things to blog about but I really don’t. So far this week I have sorted out (well, I hope I have sorted out) government assistance while I’m studying*, started sewing two skirts, finished one and began two new crochet projects, and did all that while in quite serious pain… Read more »

Stuff and some pics
Haven’t had much blogging motivation this week and have been feeling a bit ‘off’ but I think I’m on the mend now! Despite not being the best I’ve actually managed to get quite a bit done on my to-do list, like choosing a new bag for uni. Gee, shopping is difficult… Pretty laptop bag that… Read more »
In Which Sam Curses Herself. Again.
Remember how I said I was getting bored of the summer break? Yeah, well now that the start of semester is just under two weeks away, I’m thinking I could do with a bit longer! Always the way, isn’t it? Nevermind, I shall live. I have two weeks to cram in stuff I’m less able… Read more »
Happy Valentine’s Day!
From Lisa Kettel I used to be a bit anti-Valentine’s Day. Well, anti-the commercialisation of Valentine’s Day, which ultimately clouded anything that was actually nice about a day for celebrating love as opening and as cheesily as one wants. But what can I say? I’m crazy in-love with an amazing guy who treats me beautifully… Read more »
Teaser Tuesday
I went to the library yesterday and came home with a nice pile of books! Here’s a taste from one. TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to: Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. BE… Read more »
Preparing for Winter
Yes, I am preparing for winter by making winter accessories now, such as hats. The latest in my crochet accessory collection is a neck warmer/cowl, the idea of which came from Holly’s guest D.I.Y at A Beautiful Mess. I’m a scarf girl and would wear them all year round if it wasn’t so hot during… Read more »
My Weekend and Creations
Hello all! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend; for the most part, I am. Saturday was a bit of a downer because I woke up feeling incredibly groggy with allergies and I had an awful headache for the entire day. Subsequently I wasn’t nearly as productive as I had planned to be, but nevermind…. Read more »
Thursday: Toddler Time
I’ve had quite a busy and exhausting day. Toddlers will do that you to, though! On Thursdays my mum looks after my 17-month-old niece and today I tagged along with them to do grocery shopping and pick up a few stationary supplies I needed. Persia is a pretty good baby and quite happy to sit… Read more »
Crafty Toys
I mentioned a little while ago that I made some birthday gifts for people and I wanted to share one of them with you. For my step-niece’s 7th birthday I made her a cute wee bunny and cute wee kitty from the My Little Mochi: Chibi Kitty and Rabbit pattern. It’s such a simple design… Read more »
New Additions on the Farm
As I mentioned, there have been some new additions to the farm! Six little chicks! We have three yellow and three brown, but we’re not sure of their sexes yet as it’s a bit hard to tell until they’re older. Hopefully they’re mostly female because we’ve already got two roosters and don’t really need any… Read more »
