    I'm already planning xmas decorations - it's silly really, but I just love the run up to christmas. I love shops glittering with lights at 4pm, when it's icy-cold and dark. Heaven.

    Now that the weather is turning cooler where I am and the new academic term has started I really do feel it's getting closer to Christmas and I am sooo excited!!

    Hope your cold is getting better!

    I really enjoyed catching up on your blog.I hope you are feeling better,I think that the wavy blanket is gorgeous and you could give Cath Kidston a run for her money easily.
    I did read on one blog that the CK crochet blanket was of poor quality by CK standards and badly made too !!!!!
    I always eat gingerbreadmen in twos,so sad to die alone !!!
    The book stats are amazing I read lots of books and have since I was four so I must have read well over their estimate of 500 or so.
    As for Christmas,I started shopping months ago,I just love it.

    Oh I love this Christmas countdown, but it is a little worrying when I think of all the stock that I need to make in the next couple of weeks!

    I love Christmas but I do get a little stressed which is not good!
    I love reading all the other blogs at this time of the year as they are so inspiring.

    I so admire all of you that make so many of your gifts as well as have Christmas fairs etc.

Dresser-ing up the house.

It took me ages to find the post I needed. I am a really bad recorder of things sometimes. I thought I'd blogged about my welsh dresser (bargain £60 at Oxfam) but it transpires I never have. Or at least not with pictures and much joy. But I found a post with a bad picture of it here; My Best Friend for Afternoon Tea You can just see it in the background of the last photo. That's my dresser. It was in my dining room until Mr Mister told me it was golden pine and not mahogany and, ergo, did not match. I moved it to the garage and left it there, mourning my lost storage and especially the loss of a living style I was seeking (cottage kitsch; I love it!) And it stayed there. For. Years.  And I wrote my planning list every year including "Paint dresser" And every year the list entry remained unticked. But this year a little fire has entered my belly. Or I've found my house mojo at last. For last Sunday in a golden autumn afternoon of sunshine and printer fai...

Oh. My. Goodness. The Birth of a Firm part 1

-
Who knew that having a new business was just like having a new baby? No, don't laugh. Listen to this story. It was about a year and a half ago that Mr Angel Jem read this book, The Litigators, by John Grisham. I love JG, I read a lot of JG for the same reason I watch a lot of courtroom dramas and sit on a Sunday watching football. Mr AJ likes them, so there's a lot of it about and it's well worth sharing an interest together (and, no, he CANNOT crochet, although his Mum used to dressmake and he has a lot of respect for useful crafts.) The role of the book is crucial in our story. The hero, David Zinc, has it all; a good job in a big firm, a big BIG firm. But it takes all his time and he is working for the firm. So one day he walks out. Just goes, sets off, gets well drunk in a bar and wanders off to a very dubious part of town where he meanders into a 'boutique' (meaning small) law firm and asks for a job. We were in London. Seriously. Staying for a week in...

How did you start writing your blog?

And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less.  Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote...
