@dubhels2003 You got your wish! She’s a Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
I think the Diana-part was a given, more or less. I’m a Charlotte myself (well, Charlotta to be honest, but close enough) and I don’t mind.

lattemama replied to the topic Favorite TV Show to watch while handsewing in the forum off topic 10 years ago
We watch The Big Bang Theory but I find I’m not laughing as much these days. And I really, really dislike Bernadette.
I used to like New Girl but I haven’t seen it in a while.
Friends was a favourite way back when, but I never watched the last 2.5 seasons. Now that it is on Netflix maybe I should remedy that.
Torchwood is horribly, gloriously…[Read more]

Did anyone catch the story on “Last Week Tonight” (HBO) that dealt with this?
You can see it here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdLf4fihP78 (some bad language involved). Very interesting and also entertaining.

We watched Daredevil on Netflix too but I was almost repulsed by the violence. A bit too much (and that is coming from someone who likes Game of Thrones – although I have issues with the gratuitous nudity in that).
Doctor Who is a favourite (going to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff this summer – yay!) as well as Torchwood.
Outlander is so…[Read more] -

I had a much-needed day off from work yesterday after being immersed in a huge project at work since just after New Years. It’s all finally done and I spent the day sewing up a storm.
I made a Metro tee for a friend, and a skirt and tank top for her daughter as well as a skirt for my girl.Then at the very last moment before school pick-up I…[Read more]

I’ve been looking for notchers like that but have had trouble finding any in my part of the world. Maybe it’s an issue of translation – I have no idea what they would be called in Swedish.
If O+S were to carry them I would pick up a pair in no time!

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoI’ve never learned to love eggplant – maybe I should give it a try again.
I’m stuck on the quinoa. It’s so good, I’ve had it for lunch all last week and this week. I make a batch on Sunday night, divide it into 4 jars and top up with chicken, fish or beef. Perfect for lunch.
I use this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnmjmHUUxsY (the…[Read more]

lattemama replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.
Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoThere was a quarter piece pie left over and I was looking forward to eat that tonight, but Isabel claimed it so I was stuck with cheesy broccoli quinoa and balsamic glazed chicken which I had had for lunch today and yesterday and there is still a serving left! (I made a huge batch over the weekend.)

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoI made a salmon, leeks and fennel pie for us last night. It was really good and my eldest would have eaten it whole if I had let her. The little one was not very impressed.
I used smoked salmon in thin slices, some sautéed leeks and thinly sliced fennel.
The only negative thing was that I had forgotten the salt in the pie crust. Need to remember…[Read more] - Load More
