Over the Christmas break, a friend came to visit us and she was wearing a gorgeous long cowl that she wrapped around her neck twice. It looked incredibly warm and comfy and it was quite the statement piece. Ryan and I thought it would be neat to adapt my “Chunky Double Crochet Cowl” pattern…
After going a bit nuts and buying about fifteen pairs of boots last year (seriously, I’m pretty sure I bought fifteen pairs. Some the same style in different colours) I was stuck with the realisation that they’re going to need a bit more care than my usual ballet flats! These stuffers are not just super cute but also good for keeping out Aussie nasties like spiders… they love my new boots almost as much as me!
Fairy tale nails anyone? I LOVE the way this turned out! So delicate and dainty!

Think apple sauce, but made with pears instead. You actually don’t need anything but pears for this recipe! If the pears are ripe, the slow cooking will bring all the sugars out and it will be lovely and sweet. To speed up the process you can add a splash of water if you like, and cinnamon can be added as well for an extra kick- but I encourage you to try the simple version! (You might be surprised!) I just mashed mine with a fork, but if you like it super smooth, just pop it in the food processor for a minute.
There’s been a lot of rain here lately which makes for brilliantly green moss everywhere! It’s so cozy to be inside by the fire with a bowl of warm pear sauce.
