Hello! Hope the world's being kind to you? Sorry about the slight pause in blogging there, we've been dragging ourselves to the end of the current school term and the Easter holidays finally kicked in last night. I am still not sure why my daughter's school terms reflect on us, but am starting to accept... Continue Reading →
My mum is amazing. I don't say that often enough for everything she does, but she is pretty incredible. She's also something of a wonderful dressmaker, up to and including making her own wedding dress, 2 of my aunts' wedding dresses, all my bridesmaids' dresses and still never letting me forget that I bought my...

Hello! How's your week going? Things have been hectic round here but sewing and also shopping has been happening too! A little while ago, the lovely Clarinda Kaleidoscope put an open invitation on Instagram for people to join her at the Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia. I had a quick look at the cost of... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope things are going well for you? I've been enjoying the slightly strange phenomenon of driving home from work before it gets pitch black: small pleasures! Before I show you today's make, I just wanted to talk about a little recognition I've been getting of late which has really blown me away. As well... Continue Reading →
Hello there! See, I'm back again already - I told you I had some things ready to blog if I could just find time for photos! This make is another repeat make (have you noticed how often I do that? I really should make more effort to get the thing right the first time!) This... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Sorry there's been a little radio silence around here. I'm actually in the fortunate position of having a few makes to show you which just need photos taking. But I finally made it back to work this week and in honesty, I'm shattered, so I'm going to make this one quick. Well, quick... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope things are going well for you? Things have been quiet around here, largely as I've been told to relax and stay quiet to get over a nasty chest infection. This has meant some sewing time I wasn't expecting but also very sloooooow sewing as I have just not had the concentration. But... Continue Reading →
Hello there! How's life? Hope things are going swimmingly for you, and I don't mean that literally (despite the floods of rain hammering down on my roof windows right now!) The make I've got ready today has taken quite some time, although not because it was particularly complicated; sometimes life just gets in the way,... Continue Reading →
Hello and happy new year! Hope 2016 started well for you? For us it was a very quiet one; a much needed, muddy walk in the fresh air during the day, followed by a nice meal we cooked at home, a spot of TV and sleep! Rock and roll, I know - life with small... Continue Reading →
Hello! How's everything going in your world? Christmas was quite hectic here, including a visit to an emergency GP at 9am on Christmas Day with our poorly 3 year old (less than ideal!), but all in all it was good. The last couple of days have been particularly chilled, involving a lot of playing with... Continue Reading →
