Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are all having a brilliant time. We celebrated with our friends, and am stuffed full as I post this.

This is my latest blog post, Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Chestnut Pots. Surprisingly light for a Nigella recipe :)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire never tasted this good. Decadent chocolate and chestnut pots de creme with Frangelico

I wanted to get them the nice wooden one from GLTC but DH said we had no room, but even he couldn't argue with 3 quid and it gets played with more than any other toy! :o

Season's greetings everyone Xmas Smile

Tutorial: old country charm cushion cover with piping

Anyone for sewing?! The size of this cushion cover when complete measures 50cm x 50cm. The focal point is the pleated centre square accentuated by a vintage-come-country floral fabric frame, piped with red and white gingham, and backed with unbleached calico.

Crikey - it's been two and a half weeks, a lifetime in the blogosphere. Have just posted about my failure to play viola or blog over the past couple of weeks. Sigh. It's good to be back, looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs. A belated Merry Christmas to you all

evening all.

Hope you all had a good Christmas?

Have been fairly quiet this week, not least because I was ill over most of Christmas but also had ILs staying.

However, I have decided to run a series of posts over the next couple of days reviewing the news events of 2011, so my first post is

And today I've blogged about my frustration at the blinkered nature of us all after we found a blind lady stuck on the pavement due to an obstruction......

Parking on the pavement: A hazard for pedestrians and not so yummy!

A very, very personal round up of 2011

My latest blog post about my poor neglected second baby - A tale of two baby books

I love reading all the blogs, I will be interested to see what subjects people cover now that Christmas is out of the way. It's also really nice to see some new featured bloggers on the main page, as I've discovered some lovely new blogs to read.

DillyTante · 29/12/2011 11:47

Hello all

I seem to have avoided talking about Christmas on my blog. Not deliberate or anything, but I am a bit Christmassed out. Did get some nice shoes in the sale though which I accessorized!

SophRunning · 29/12/2011 13:33

Hello everyone. Hope you all had/are having a good holiday.

I'm ending 2011 with a confession
