I made this log cabin cot quilt for my Beginners Patchwork and Quilting evening class that starts in September (only one place left!). I just realised I have no idea of the size (and it’s at work in the craft studio so I can’t measure it), but it is maybe a bit big for a …
I thought you would like to see some photos of our completed Bearpaw Craft Studio. We didn’t actually need to do too much to the room itself, but we did (when I say ‘we’ I actually mean my DH Jonathan!) put a small kitchen in a store cupboard and totally transformed our toilet, which used …
Phew! I have finally got to the end of my mammoth sewing and crocheting marathon! So here are the next batch of projects completed for my Bearpaw Craft Classes venture. Do you remember the Sleepy Owl Pyjama Case I made last year? Well here is his big brother Wide Awake Owl Doorstop! I thought this …

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 …
Nothing much about Country Living Fair in this post, except for it is the reason I have not got much crafting to show you this week! This is the Country Living Christmas Fair held in Glasgow every year (they have one in London too), and I had a stand with my shop. I have no …
I mentioned in an earlier post about how busy I have been recently making things for my shop, well here are some of the fruits of my labours (well more foliage than fruits…). You may remember the Leaf Needlecases from a batch I made earlier in the year. They are adapted from a beautiful Japanese …
