…sung to the tune of ‘Matchstalk Cats and Dogs’! But unfortunately it doesn’t quite scan as well! I am wondering if younger people or those outside the UK are thinking I’ve gone mad – I have a feeling that was probably just a British hit single! There is a video at the end of this …
Pouchy for presents that is! I’ve come to the zippy pouch very late in the day, having let my colleague Naomi teach our class in this subject in the past. But armed with this excellent tutorial from Flossie Teacakes I turned this hexy sample piece (that I made during my demos at the recent ICHF show) …
Excuse me a moment while I blow the cobwebs off this blog! A bit of a posting break occurred due to a lingering virus, too many magazine deadlines, a lot of classes and a 4 day show at Glasgow SECC that involved 4 EPP workshops a day! Today is my first proper day off in …
