Hello out there! How are you? Before I get going, I'm going to apologise for the state of my hair in the photos today; apparently storm Doris is hitting home and blimey, it was windy out there! But I got over excited about there being daylight outside so pinned it up any old how and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all is well in your world? So what's going on here, two posts in two days? I know, but I wanted to get this one blogged before the end of the month as it ticks boxes for a few different challenges. This is one of my latest makes and I've been wearing... Continue Reading →
Hi there! I need to apologise for the lateness of this post: really, it should have been written and blogged a couple of weeks ago. However, I've been feeling like hell with one cold after another, and I foolishly forgot to take photos on Christmas Day so have been waiting for photos from Dad. Such... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're OK and dealing with Blue Monday? If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see that I seem to have managed to get myself signed up to a couple of sewing challenges this year. I'm in two minds as to whether this is a good thing or not. Generally, I'm in favour... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope your January is going smoothly? Mine is being made much snugglier by the addition of my shiny new Bruyere top to my wardrobe. I've clearly added another Deer and Doe pattern to my addiction as it's in heavy rotation already! The details are in my post for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Happy new year! Welcome to 2017; here's hoping it's a little easier on the nerves than last year was. I had quite a busy festive period, sewing wise, or at least the run up to Christmas. Particularly on Christmas Eve night when, having told the children all day that Santa would bring gifts... Continue Reading →
Last month I won a pair of tickets to the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching show from Dots n Stripes. Although I knew the fabric stash was getting a little bulky, I trundled along for a day out with Mum and, unsurprisingly, managed to find some have-to-have fabrics. You're shocked, I know! I actually did most... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So it's the week before Christmas and suddenly, despite thinking I was well ahead on my gift making this year, I'm in a sewing frenzy, trying desperately to get through everything that needs doing. This has been made worse by my children both hitting a growth spurt and commenting whistfully (I swear they... Continue Reading →
Hello! I've got another slightly festive make for you today. I didn't actually think of it as festive until I wore it to work the day after I finished it (as you do!) and one of my new colleagues commented that I was wearing my Christmas dress. Clearly they don't know me well! Anyway, this... Continue Reading →
Hi there! This blog's been a little while in the writing; the problem has been getting photos. Somehow, between flu bugs and kids' birthday parties, there doesn't seem to have been a spare daylight hour to take decent photos of late. So, apologies in advance that some of these are courtesy of Gertrude, my dress... Continue Reading →
