Image Details: ‘The League of Shadow Bunnies’ by LexnGer, via Flickr. Hello and welcome one and all to episode 2 of the podcast: Stop. Bunny time! This week promises a lot of travel chatter as I have just been off on a road trip around Kwa-Zulu Natal, Swaziland and the Kruger National Park.
Episode 1: Send in the Hogs!
Hello and welcome to the shownotes for the first official Shinybees podcast. For those of you coming back after the Pilot Episode, great to see you again, and a warm welcome to any new listeners. Listen here
Episode 0: The Pilot Episode
> Listen here Intro These are the show notes for the first ever Shinybees podcast episode: The Pilot. In this show I talk about the reasons for starting a podcast, my current works in progress (known as the Wippin’ Piccadilly section), and a little about South Africa before wrapping up. It’s quite amazing how quickly...
Bunt-o-rama!
Image Details: ‘bunting’ by mrjamie, via Flickr. Bunting was originally a type of fabric, used since the 17th Century, used to make, amongst other things, signal flags for the Royal Navy. The term ‘bunting’ is also used to refer to a collection of flags, particularly those of a ship. In the last couple of years,...
Getting Your Crafty Ducks in a Row
Image Details: ‘organized threads’ by jenni waterloo, via Flickr. I have an inbuilt hatred of being Too Organised. Despite my military background, which you would think would have forced me into being a bit more regimented after several years of loyal service to Queen and country, I find the whole concept of getting things organised...
Olympic Gold
Olympic Gold was an awesome game for the Mega Drive, which was released in 1992 to coincide with the Barcelona Olympics. I was a big fan of the 100m sprint, although winning this involved rapidly pushing the A and B buttons to make the little guy on the screen run faster. How Sega have not...
Day 6: Improving your Skill Set.
Image Details: ‘Skills Drop Off’ by squacco, via Flickr. Day 5 of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week brings the subject of improving your skill set to the table. As a knitter, I find that once you know a couple of basic stitches and how to cast on and off, you open up a whole world...
Day 5: Something Different!
Image Details: ‘Bobotie done’ by Manne, via Flickr. This is the day 5 post, a little late but better than never. The day 6 post is likely to be late also, as I am off to braai and drink sjampajne (Afrikaans for champagne, I have learnt all the essential nouns as you can see). So...
Day 4: A knitter for all seasons?
Image Details: ‘My cunning plan comes together’ by wifebot, via Flickr. This is an excellent and timely topic to be writing about today, one with which I feel inspired to make a triumphant return to my usual witty repartee. That is because I am British, and therefore obsessed with the weather. I didn’t realise that...
K&C Blog Week: My Knitting or Crochet Hero
Image Details: ‘Arasaig + Heroes = this weekend’ by starshaped, via Flickr. So, day 3 of the Knitting and Crochet blog week and day 1 of my submissions. I find blogging a very organic thing that happens when I have something to say and usually the writing happens very easily. I must say, writing what...
Knitting and Crochet Blog Week
This week (23-29 April 2012) is the third annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, run by Eskimimi Makes. The aim of the week is to blog every day on a variety of different topics, and by including a specific tag, you can find everyone else who is taking part via the all encompassing power that...
Swappin’
Recently I took part in my first ever swap. I have heard about them from various podcasters and blogs but had never actually got around to signing up to one, chiefly due to always missing the end date or just being a bit too intimidated by all the rules and self-induced pressure to get it...
