Nell's Needles: Freedom!!
http://nellsneedles.blogspot.com/2013/02/freedom.html
Monday, 4 February 2013. It has finally begun! 11 months of maternity leave and I'm still finishing off work (marking and submitting plans etc) but still. it's not the end of the world and will all be complete within a day or two (as long as I stop procrastinating). I have recently found Pinterest and therefore have an ever growing list of things I want to crochet, sew, do etc. Surely this is an incentive to get my work finished ASAP! Hopefully next time I log in I'll have some pictures of new makes!

Nell's Needles: April 2010

Friday, 9 April 2010. Here Comes the Sun. Finally two consecutive sunny (and warm) days! We've been outside playing in the garden, so I thought I'd pop on and show you all! Also, poor Emma is stuck in her office, so I hope it might cheer her up (and any other people stuck at work)! Football team endorsed bucket and spade - Daddy will be proud! It's a shame that stones are so much more interesting than toys! Links to this post. Monday, 5 April 2010. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my ...

Nell's Needles: April 2012

Thursday, 19 April 2012. Seed sowing and corm planting. Eeeek - it's well over a week since I made my resolution and because there was no nursery this week I haven't found any time to write with my little helper around. There are no pictures of the garden either because the weather has been awful! My seeds that finally arrived are:. Sweet Pea 'King Size Navy Blue', 'White Supreme' and 'Apple Blossom'. Cornflower 'Polka Dot Mixed', Stock 'Giant Perfection Mixed' and 'Appleblossom'. Links to this post.

Nell's Needles: July 2012
http://nellsneedles.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 4 July 2012. Eeek - I don't think I can stick to my resolution. As much as I want to give up the blog, I love coming and having a little look at the things I've done/want to do and I think I need to continue, even if it is sporadic. So, onto things that are happening here - garden is looking great if a little wild. The Acidanthera look super, but no flowers yet - I'm hoping they'll bloom on time for little sister's wedding (I forgot to take a photo so will do so tomorrow). Back to the gardenin...

Nell's Needles: Procrastination
http://nellsneedles.blogspot.com/2014/09/procrastination.html
Tuesday, 23 September 2014. It's just after midnight (00:12 to be precise) and I've spent a good 20 minutes reminiscing over my first few blog posts when my helper was very small. Scarily she's now in year 1 at school and the other two monkeys are nearly three and 18 months - yep, over19 months since my last entry! Three children means there is no time at all to make anything, especially when tied to a full time teaching job. Battery is running low and I have a set of literacy books still to mark.

Tuesday, 25 May 2010. Rolling Rolling Rolling Rolling Rolling. So tomorrow is my mother-in-law's birthday and I thought I'd have a go at making something for her. Well back in February she went on holiday and managed to lose her jewellery roll, that we bought her a couple of years ago (she thinks she knocked it into the wastepaper bin), and it had all of her favourite things in it. I had a search online and found this. What do you think? Links to this post. So engrossed she didn't see the camera! So as s...

Thursday, 1 July 2010. Real food at last! So, after 4 weeks of having no sink or cooker; having to use a microwave and wash up in the sink in the downstairs loo; we finally have a KITCHEN! How very very exciting! Here are some before and after pictures again (I quite like looking at them myself to see how it's changed). Do you like it? Just needs another coat of paint and a few tiles behind the sink and cooker and then it's done! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Nell and her needles.

Nell's Needles: Old Year Old Me - New Year New Me (well from Feb 1st)
http://nellsneedles.blogspot.com/2013/01/old-year-old-me-new-year-new-me-well.html
Saturday, 5 January 2013. Old Year Old Me - New Year New Me (well from Feb 1st). Well I failed totally with those resolutions last year! We have had an enjoyable yet hard year and I am looking forward to 2013 a little more than I was a few weeks ago. My sister's wedding went to plan and was the hottest day of the year (hence everyone looking a bit flustered and sweaty in most of the pictures! Just before Christmas my sister (the one who got married) had a beautiful baby girl. Nell and her needles. If I h...

Nell's Needles: June 2010

Sunday, 27 June 2010. Two Shoes, New Shoes, Bright Shiny Pink Shoes! My little helper finally has a pair of shoes that fit her dinky feet! She's been walking since Easter and only now have we managed to find a pair of shoes that fit - just. She was measured as a 1.5 and the lovely ladies in our little shoe shop went through all the size 2s (that's the smallest you can get) and eventually came up with these:. They're by a Spanish company, so slightly quirky, but I love them! Links to this post. Excuse the...
