Holiday Reading
Whilst I love reading, in the past few years I really haven’t read a lot unless I’m on holidays. Though I have managed to break that cycle somewhat this year – thanks to the ridiculously addictive Song of Fire & Ice series – otherwise known as the Game of Thrones books. Anyway, when I am … Read more
More decorated street photos from Festa Major de Gracia 2012
Last night I went back to the decorated streets of la Festa Major de Gracia 2012 (once they were all finished) to take some more photos. I thought I’d share them here, most because all of these decorations are made by the residents of the street. I was so impressed not only with the quality … Read more
Hola
Guess where I am? Spain! I spent a few days in Madrid & then yesterday hopped on a train to Barcelona. I’ve really been enjoying Spain so far. Madrid was great, really quiet (everyone’s on holidays), the weather was fantastic (super hot & dry), and there was so many interesting things to do & see. … Read more
Since I last posted
You may have noticed but I haven’t posted much recently. It’s not that I haven’t done any sewing or cooking worth posting. I have, I just haven’t gotten around to writing the words to go with the pictures or take the pictures to go with the words & then the longer I leave it the … Read more

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012
Another year has come to a close and another is starting. 2011 was a strange mix & a little bit of a whirlwind to be honest, but when I look back over all our photos from the last year all I can think of is how much fun we had. I spent the Christmas break … Read more
Don’t Worry I’m Still Here…
Wow… I can’t believe it’s been a month since my last post! It’s not that I haven’t been sewing, it’s just that I just haven’t had the time to take photos & then write about it recently. Normally I do all of that on the weekend, cause the light is good during the day & … Read more

Autumn is here!
For those of you that haven’t been forced to listen to my rant on seasons, autumn is my favourite, (summer & winter draw for second – long days of summer, snow in winter, spring is my least favourite because it rains too much & the weather is too inconsistent – at least it is in … Read more
