I am struggling to catch up at the moment. Not only have I not had any time to post here, but I also haven’t had time to make anything to write about! I am doing a full 5 day week in the shop on my own where I am very busy with deliveries of new …
Oh, I have had such fun making this Pirate Treasure Chest pincushion!! This is the second time I have taken part in the Scrappy Pincushion Swap. Last time I made the Little House Pincushion and I got the feeling that my partner this round would like something similar. The idea of a treasure chest came …
It looks like a regular granny square blanket… But, in fact, it’s a jumper! Or ‘sweater’ for our colonial cousins! You may remember me posting about this here, when I bought the wool at the Country Living Fair. The pattern is from the book ‘Crochet in no time’ by Melody Griffiths. Well I worked …
I decided to take part in the latest Old Red Barn Quilt Along. These have been going for a few years now and though some of my very good blogging friends have been involved I haven’t managed to get my act together to join in before. This time it is Dolores’s turn from Deeroo blog. …

Well somehow I have managed to write 100 whole pages about craft stuff! It has taken me a year and a half but it still seems quite an achievement. But there wouldn’t be much point me writing anything at all if you lovely people weren’t out there reading it. So as a big THANK YOU …
