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 …
Well I have had quite a week with all the snow, ice and traffic chaos up here in Scotland. I can’t be bothered to bore you with all the details, but we did finally manage to get my father on a flight home on Thursday, but that was only after 2 failed attempts to take …
I have been spending the last week making some things for the shop. I had a commission for some cushions which I really had to get on with and my Bearpaw display is looking a bit depleted, so I have decided to concentrate my efforts on making things to sell rather than to swap! …
Yes I am having a bit of a weepy time at the moment, but before I bore you with that, lets have a look at a nice cushion! It is a 21st birthday present for one of my ‘Weekend Alisons’ (the 2 girls that work in the shop at the weekend are helpfully both called …

I don’t know where the time is going at the moment! Too busy to do much blogging, that’s for sure! Nearly finished with the shop refurbishment, just finishing the last room today. Actually it is ready but I have run out of stock to put in it! So it will just have to look a …
First of all, mucho apologies for not posting at all in the last two weeks. It’s just the time of year, too much to do at work, Christmas shopping, along with a visit to my folks and the most time consuming thing of all, making lot’s of my christmas presents! So here’s a sneak preview …
