Sonia started a meme on her blog the other day that I thought was lovely. The idea is to wander around your house one day, taking photos. Nothing too staged, just how things look on that day.
She suggested the following categories:
- In the kitchen
- On the nightstand
- In your work/craft space
- Out the window
- What the pets or children are up to
- On your feet
- Knitting or knitwear in action
It’s an ‘I’ll show you mine, you show me yours’ type of thing. So, without further ado, here are mine. They were taken a couple of days ago, but I’m back in London and at work now, so that was my last chance to wander gently around my house for a while!
Steve preparing a casserole in the kitchen (luckily he enjoys cooking much more than I do):
On my bedside table (the Nancy Bush book was a Christmas present):
In my craft room (well, the place where I have been knitting over the holidays, which is a close as I come to a craft room! The yarn bowl was a Christmas gift, and those are two new projects I started last week):
Out of the window:
What my dog is up to (her – and my – favourite place is next to the Aga):
What’s on my feet (Pomatomus socks):
Knitting in action (actually, nearly all of these photos feature things I’ve knitted or sewn, which I must admit makes me rather happy!*):
So, go on, why not show us yours? Because we all like to see how other people live, right?!
*Maybe I need to get out more?
I love the Nancy Bush book and hope to get to knitting some things from there soon. What a lovely tour through your home.. I envy the AGA, although not very practical in southern USA.
If I had your pretty home, I wouldn’t be going out much either!
Lovely blanket, btw.
Happy New Year.

My night stand isn’t nearly as tidy as yours, I’m afraid. And it’s so dismally rainy today that there will be no indoor pictures!
I love little glimpses into other peoples lives/homes. Thanks for sharing. I might have to do it myself.
Happy New Year!
You have a most beautiful home, mine isn’t nearly as worthy of showing!
Oh fun! I love looking into people’s homes. (I am a bit of a voyeur that way.) I love your place. And I want to eat the dinner that is being fixed…yum.
Great set of photos! I am very jealous of your Aga. I think if you’ve got a house as lovely as yours, you don’t need to get out!
Your house looks so cozy! I love how much knitting/knits you have through out the house.
is…is that an oven? …I am dumb with joy.
If I had such a beautiful house, I wouldn’t leave either. Between the teacups, the oven, and that fantastic weathered-looking nightstand, I may move in with you. 😛
How lovely to see how other people live. I love your dog, how senible being infront of the aga! I might try this on my blog, thanks for the idea
The dog plus Aga photo is so cosy and homely I love it! Also I think I have that colour of Birkenstocks often seen with knitted socks in my house too
Thanks for the glimpse into your home, I might just do this here this weekend but be prepared for a lot more mess 
Oh you have an aga! Sean’s grandmother had one of those in the country. How lovely.
I saw this idea yesterday and plan to do in one day this week! I love your house.
What a lovely idea. I can tell your children are older. Your house is beautiful and neat!!! My house looks like a christmas cyclone hit it so as today is a snow day I will have to clean it bebefore I show you anything.
Your house looks so cosy! Especially with the weather being what it’s been, I wouldn’t go out much either. Hmmm. In fact, I haven’t been, except for foraging for food
I always love your photography. I may do this meme myself (though my camera skills leave something to be desired!).
Thanks for sharing! I’d be curled up next to the Aga knitting and sipping tea, too!
Hi cutie! Loved seeing a bit around your house ~ particularly the teapots and tea cozies!
Loved to see your house, mine is not how I’d like it so I can’t show it to anyone!!
Your home is so lovely! If mine were that pretty, I’d follow the meme, too 😀
What a sweet dog and a perfect place to knit.
That was a lovely post. My favourite part was the teacosies in the first shot, I think.
What a lovely idea – and I am deeply impressed at all the knitting. Can’t help thinking I’d go round tidying up before I started though…
Is that an Emma Bridgewater mug on the countertop beside Steve? I love her work. Thanks for passing on the idea of the photos – I’m going to do that next week and post them.
Have a lovely weekend.

Oh, i want that first and last photo!
Did I just say that?
what a cozy home you have there. Have a fantastic year!
Oh I do love seeing your home, so very cozy. Thanks for sharing.
What a fun post! Love the photos. Your house looks just lovely! Love the shot ‘out the window’
Great post! Your house is so beautiful – thank you for sharing it!
You have a lovely home, I’m so glad you shared those photos, it does look cozy and nice!
