A few weeks ago, when I unveiled my new blog button, I alluded to another reason for needing a new logo. Some of you were very keen to find out what I was up to *cough – Catherine Sewing Attic* . Finally I am ready to spill the beans… We are changing one of the …
It’s about time we had some crochet here! I have been neglecting my crochet readers lately, even though I have actually been working on a new crochet blanket for the last few weeks (more on this soon). I have also been neglecting my owls and really need to top up the rather sad stock of …
As some of you may have noticed, we are having ‘a bit of a do’ in the UK on Friday. Yes, it’s the ROYAL WEDDING!! I am really looking forward to Will and Kate’s forthcoming nuptials, and I want to share this with you all, especially my international followers, as I don’t want you to …
