  Good morning, lovely Yarnarinas! ??????????? ? I'm chained to my desk at the moment (help, come save me!??) completing the text pattern for CERES (our Panel 1 of the BLOMMEVELD VINTAGE THROW). THANK YOU SO MUCH for the ❤️ !!! I'm worried you guys are going to send me into another tax bracket!!? So saying, don't forget that this pattern is 50% discounted until 1 APRIL 2024. Ravelry coupon code: BLOM18 ? Because I'm quite high on the ADHD spectrum sitting still for longer than 10 minutes is torture! On days like this, I want to bin my hooks and yarn and escape into nature with ..read more

 Good morning and Happy New Week from my little studio in Cape Town, South Africa! Lovelies...it's been a while since I last visited this space. Many of you Lovelies have been keeping in touch on the 'socials' so you know then that 2023, rather than starting with a bushy-tailed bang, began with tears, shock and fear. In short DRAMA! You'll know then too that Mr Floral Hook after visiting our local GP received a diagnosis not of a simple viral infection but Stage 4 Small Cell Lung Cancer. It's been quite the journey since then, as you can imagine. I won't go into details but suffice it ..read more

 Happy Friday and happy Weekend, Lovelies, how are you all?  All very well in your patch of Crochetland I hope, in spite of January feeling as if it's six months long? Hopefully, it's not been a Januworry for you?  One of my 2023 resolutions was that I'd blog on a regular basis...but LIFE keeps coming at me! Ok, it's actually DOGS and CATS coming at me (coff, coff). Our little foster senior, Miss Betty, passed over the rainbow bridge just before Christmas. Poor little thing was on her last leggies when she came to us and even though she'd forgotten by then how to 'go toilet ..read more

Tadaaa...I'm back, Lovelies! Happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023 to you!  Last year, is so...last year, right? It whizzed by incredibly quickly. Even two young friends who live on our road remarked, "bro, what's with this year just flying by, like, yoh!". We must have all, in unison, laced up our running shoes at the beginning of 2022, on our marks, ready to GO as soon as that clock struck 12. Were we trying to catch up, or maybe forget what we'd collectively experienced by cramming as much 'living life' into each day after so many dreary, scary and confusing lockdowns? Not to men ..read more

 Good morning, Lovelies! Welcome to the Chinese Year of the Tiger...which means it's still OK to wish you all a VeRy HApPY NeW YeAr, right?! Mt Floral Hook is a Tiger so I'm expecting great things from him this Tiger Year.? ? Some of you Lovelies may recall my last blog post... which was in October last year. I simply ran out of fuel after that. You can say and do only so much before a pitstop is in order. I went through quite an odd phase though. Definitely had something to do with all our lockdowns where I became hooked on the bad habit of bingeing on Podcasts and Vlogs...to the poin ..read more

Blogtober... post#2!

 Happy Friday, Lovelies!? As many of you already know...we have our lovely group back on FB. It took eight days and countless protest forms to FB from so many of you Lovelies ( THANK YOU x millions )! Finally, the powers that be ruled in our favour. You know that feeling when you've had a close call with some random nasty event? That feeling afterwards of GREAT relief? The feeling of joy, appreciation and gratitude to have what seemed lost forever, come back to you? Ok, well all those feelings descended on me in bucketloads. It felt like I'd won the Lottery and simultaneously found the it ..read more

Blogtober...a bit of a late start!

 Dearest Lovelies, As usual, I'm unfashionably late to the Blogtober party. To compensate, this will be a three-day's worth blog post and then I'll be all caught up, right? So grab a cup or a glass of your fav beverage, curl up in a comfortable spot and let's catch up? I can't believe it's been almost two months to the day that I last posted a little catch-up. I rambled on last time about taking a winter break...which I totally did. August was also my B'day month and as always I like to slow right down and take stock of the past year. I do this because, and I'm sure you would agree, THE ..read more

Midwinter break!

   Lovelies, I'm on a mid-winter break ( JOKING! You know I'm crocheting up a new pattern and designing the extension for Harvest Moon! ).    August is my birthday month and since way back, I've ritualised this month to do all sorts of  "taking stock" exercises. For example, clearing out my clothing cupboard and sorting through all the bits and bobs that accumulate over the year. You know, drawers, the tops of shelves, book stacks, the sock nook, sewing baskets, mending, make-up bag, unused or half-used toiletries, and so on. All of that wants a going-through! The good ..read more

 Happy Friday, Lovelies! ? Tadaa, today is the release of the new pattern Harvest Moon Block! Yep, I've just launched straight into my "big" news before asking " how are you ?"  HOW ARE YOU!!? Once again thank you for all your lovely comments. I absolutely love reading through them even though I quickly run out of typing finger strength to reply to all of you Lovelies. It's been a bit mad here in the H&T studio. Also, things got very real, as they say. If you're wondering howso, let me explain one of life's two certainties. Death and Taxes! Seeing as I'm writing this I'm sure ..read more

 Happy Friday, Lovelies!? Before anything else...! I finally got my first Pfizer jab! It doesn't seem like such a big thing but for someone who has High anxiety ( with a capital "H" ) I had to overcome an international Gymkhana's worth of anxiety generated hurdles. If you're in the same basket of over-thinkers as I am, you'll know exactly what I mean. Endless spiralling, repetitive thoughts ( the OCD part of anxiety ), all the bells and whistles, trumpets and foghorns of imagination, on full blast. It's exhausting, right? Actually, I got sick and tired of my own fearfulness. Also, my youn ..read more
