Hi there! Did you ever have one of those makes that you were really excited about, that you just knew was going to be amazing, that you planned really carefully and then, when it was finished, just weren't that sure about? Yeah, this is that make for me. I bought the Talvikki by Named patterns towards... Continue Reading →

Hi there! I've been doing a little research for today's post to discover the name for a group of zebras; did you know it was a dazzle? What an appropriate name for a collection of me mades!

Hi there! And happy Christmas! Hope you're all prepared for the big day tomorrow?
