    A year with books: "To Kill A Mocking Bird" Review

    ByRasa Pelham December 28, 2015July 15, 2024

    It’s almost end of the year and my final book is finished! So my mission to read more books is completed ;-).To be honest it was quite easy to read this many books this year (considering I read none the previous years). I had loads of time while pregnant and now while feeding Lukas (I…

    Baby chevron hat

    ByRasa Pelham December 21, 2015January 10, 2026

    Before Lukas was born I was knitting these baby trousers that ended up being ridiculously too small (even a small baby would not have fitted in!). So I decided to undo the legs and finish it as a hat. It fits Lukas already! It’s amazing how big his head got ;-). This is my first…

    Taste like peppermint crisp tart (for South Africans out there!)

    ByRasa Pelham December 14, 2015July 18, 2024

    When I lived in London my South African friends have introduced me to peppermint crisp tart that I fell in love from the first taste. Now when I moved to Bedford I don’t have that many opportunities to have this yumminess for dessert. Thats when I thought I could make it myself, although I knew…

    Our Christmas tree this year

    ByRasa Pelham December 7, 2015January 9, 2026

    I was about to say no to Christmas decorations this year (with all that going on in the house), until I remembered it can actually hide all the ugly interiors that we are not able to amend just yet. I picked fairy light Christmas tree for this years focal (and only) Christmas deco for our…

    My favourite breakfast lately :)

    ByRasa Pelham November 23, 2015January 9, 2026

    The thing is, I love pate, especially when I have not been allowed to eat it during pregnancy (too much vitamin A they say?? could harm the baby??). Anyways ever since I have been off this very limited diet (basically all my favourite food have been written off such as soft cheese as well), I…

    Project fail: baby trousers

    ByRasa Pelham October 20, 2015January 10, 2026

    Lately if you have been watching me on Instagram, I was knitting for our baby boy some trousers. Although I am really pleased with the chevron pattern I have created, I had an inkling that they might be too small for quite a while. After knitting one leg it became obvious that they are indeed…

    A year with books: "The Undomestic Goddess" Review

    ByRasa Pelham October 17, 2015July 25, 2024

    These couple of weeks has been all about waiting for our baby arrival and getting ready for him (yes, it’s a boy!)…. and just generally tidying the house after our big move. But what I preferred is sitting, relaxing, knitting and reading. It was a good opportunity to pick up my next book to read:…

    Green tomato chutney

    ByRasa Pelham October 9, 2015July 25, 2024

    I wanted to make green tomato chutney since I heard about it from my mum-in-law. What a great idea! I often failed to get my tomatoes ripe enough before autumn and they used to rot instead of being eaten. I so wish I knew I could use them!Now my mum-in-law was staying over this week…
