Hello there, I hope that you’re having wonderful holidays whatever you’re up to. I’m spending this week in the French alps, snowboarding, falling on my arse, eating waffles and struggling to take in the beauty of the mountains.

No resolutions for me, because I’m far too contrary for that to result in anything but rebellion [...]

Well the Christmas crafting is as done as it’s going to be, which is to say that everything not overly ambitious - print o’ the wave - is finished. The gifts are wrapped and the calender insists it’s the 25th so I think it must be here!

I’ve still got a horrible cold and I’m blaming it for the fact that I seem to be behind on everything. A stranger symptom of this cold is that I also feel like tidying up and organising everything. Strange, but good because I really needed to do that. My flat suddenly feels a lot bigger. [...]

I used to read blogs through bloglines, but I read about a feature of google reader on Ravelry a while ago that made me switch to that. The problem I had with reading blog posts through a feed reader, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way, is that you’re forced to either [...]
