Adventures and Happienings: About
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/p/about.html
I'm Sarah. I live with my son, Isaac, and our Border Terrier, Rinny, in our little house in the East Midlands of the UK. We try to live simply, not force things and take life as it comes. We like having adventures together and I like to make stuff out of yarn, I crochet a mean amigurumi! Knit, but if I'm honest I don't really like it. Crochet all the way! This is not our first online home. I started writing a blog. I can also be found on Ravelry. I have written about liver flushing here. Mother, daughter...

Adventures and Happienings: March 2013
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 14 March 2013. Happy Marchmass to us. On 1st December last year a dear friend and her sprog moved very far away. All the way to the south coast of England in-fact. What with it being March I had totally forgotten that she had promised Christmas presents in the new year. Yesterday they arrived! LOOK AT WHAT WE GOT! Home made presents are the best, only to be topped by being Ghibli related! Now I have an excuse to create a Ghibli wall *goes off to drool over Ghibli wall goodies*. I don't think so.

Adventures and Happienings: A few snaps
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-few-snaps.html
Wednesday, 13 March 2013. Most of these were taken on my phone as I'm forever forgetting to take my compact camera out with me and there is a battery issue with my Nikon, so please excuse the quality! We had a real tree for the first time at Christmas. It was so lovely and hardly any needle droppage! It reads "Imagine waking tomorrow and all music has disappeared". I see this on my walk to Dan's house and it makes me shudder every time. Isaac gets to grip with Reading Eggs. I knit some mitts! So there we...

Adventures and Happienings: Not Mothering Sunday
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2013/03/not-mothering-sunday.html
Saturday, 9 March 2013. After a few reasonably traumatic weeks (I know there seem to be a lot at the moment, fingers crossed that's the last of them for a while? We had a really nice day today. We left the confines of Derby! We only went the fourteen miles down the A52 to Nottingham, but that's quite an achievement for the boy who doesn't like to leave the house. Isaac showcases his love of technology using Dan's phone. Isaac thoroughly enjoyed it which is what I was aiming for. Result! I'm so pleased th...

Adventures and Happienings: Chop chop chop!
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2013/03/chop-chop-chop.html
Wednesday, 13 March 2013. That's right, at three and a half I decided Isaac was old enough to start using knives (! I use the corer/slicer to cut it into wedges and then he uses a small paring knife to cut the wedges into pieces. I don't think so. He's a sensible little chap and I trust him not to use them when I'm not in the room as he's proven trust worthy with scissors since he was very small. And we have rules:. 1) Always cut down. 2) Never wave knives around. 3) Never use a knife without a grown up.

Adventures and Happienings: July 2012
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 July 2012. If you try the patience of angels. It's been a while and here's why. Someone has stolen my little boy and in his place put a child with multiple personalities who cannot make his mind up about anything. I kid ye not. Just under two months shy of his third birthday and we have finally arrived at the terrible twos. All those other things I thought were the terrible twos pale by comparison, heck I can't even remember. We are on course for the terrifying tertiaries at this rate. On th...

Adventures and Happienings: A crocheted peg/clothes pin bag
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2012/06/crocheted-pegclothes-pin-bag.html
Monday, 18 June 2012. A crocheted peg/clothes pin bag. With a sad sigh I decommissioned my peg bag last week. It's served me well for the duration of it's tour, but it was no longer fit for purpose what with purpose being containing. The pegs, not spewing them all over the floor for Isaac to then scarper off with! I made that one too, using some sort of vinyl fabric stuff which I shan't recommend for sewing because it's not ideal as it tears along the stitch line! Crocheted peg bag/clothes pin bag. Ch 3,...

Adventures and Happienings: It keeps me out of trouble!
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/2013/03/it-keeps-me-out-of-trouble.html
Friday, 8 March 2013. It keeps me out of trouble! While I've been quiet on here I've been noisy elsewhere. Now I'm quiet over there I thought I'd be noisy about it over here! But what is it. It, my friends, is Pie Productions. You know I like to make stuff, right? Well, my house was getting pretty full of stuff that I made and friends (and indeed strangers) told me I should sell the things I make. So I am! They're so cute and very warm. Baby size (6-9 months). Child size (16cm) with optional non-slip sole.

Adventures and Happienings: Milestones and memories
http://adventuresandhappienings.blogspot.com/p/milestones-and-memories.html
This blog was created as record of our lives together since it's just the two of us, but I think it's important to remember some old ones too. So (without linking to all of them because there are a fair few! Here are some posts from my old blog that I hold particularly dear. Isaac joins the world - History repeats. Weaning begins - Weaning in earnest. A mummy gush at 6 months old - From me to you. Wigglers feet wiggle also - My little boy has happy feet! A mummy gush at 12 months - 12 month musings.

Thursday, 31 May 2012. What a load of old crock[ery]. I'd really really really. My lovely friend (well, godsister - known her all of my life, my mum is her godmother and my. Godmother) Louisa over on onegirlandacampervan.com. Has also bought a VW T25. We are planning adventures together.obvs (! She recently bought some beautiful vintage melamine dinnerware for her camping experiences. This made me realise that holy pants! We have nothing to eat from/out of when adventuring in Lady Blue! Two peas in a pod.
