I seem to be always busy but not getting much done at the moment! I think it’s down to a particularly heavy class schedule in May. I don’t really have anything finished to show you and not much prospect of it in the near future! But I don’t want you all to forget about me …
A few weeks back I showed you a sneak peek of some pastel African Flowers that I was crocheting for a future project. Well I can now reveal that they were for another magazine project! This is Creative Bag Making. The cover above is just a mock-up as the bags are all still to be …
Who’s that handsome, wild looking, young man? It’s my boy Felix! Felix arrived home last week after nearly a year away travelling the world and growing his hair. It’s so lovely to have him back safe and sound. We weren’t really expecting him back at the beginning of February and his arrival has coincided with …

I really hope you all like looking at photos of crocheted blankets because there is a LOT of them in this post! Here it is finished, the beautiful, gorgeous, totally delicious, Psychedelic Granny Square Blanket I started back in January! And I am completely in love with it! So much so that I dragged it …
The lovely ladies of the Cherish Circle of Do Good Stitches Charity Bee have made a splendid job with the Far Across The Sea blocks for my month as quilter. I provided a tutorial and more info on this block in this post. It was lovely to receive little parcels of patchwork loveliness from all …
