The Great Big Craft Question of 2012 - 1

Hello! Welcome to the week. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and that you’re all raring to go. I am, sort of, but I have some things I’d like to sort out and organise before I feel that I can really get going. One of the things I’d like to plan for are [...]

Felt Bauble Garland - 2011 - 1

It is Monday, the start of a new week, and the week that I begin to slowly, slowly decorate the house for Christmas. Pottering about the place in the evenings putting up lights and sorting out the decorations. We purchased our tree on Saturday and if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter (links below) [...]

Pocket Advent Calender

Hello! When I asked my Christmas Question a few days ago several of you requested an Advent Calendar How-To. I opted for a pocket advent this year as I like the way they take over an entire wall with something Christmassy. This will go well in the dining room while the Stocking Advent I made [...]

Christmas Bauble Idea - 1

On Monday I have my first really big craft project for this Christmas to show you. It is an advent calender and I’m excited about it. Your comments and requests were listened to and Cathy and I have been beavering away. But I have also been fiddling about in the evenings and have decided to [...]

Table Runner - MM 13 - 1

Hello! We’ve been rather short on craft projects around here lately so I thought I’d remedy that today with this rather sweet table runner. I like table runners as they take less time to make than a full tablecloth, they are quite prepared to hold all manner of serving dishes and plates which means only [...]

Pink Taffeta Curtains, Part 1 - 1

Good morning! How are you all today? Has it been a bit drizzly and wet where you are? It has here unfortunately. On Saturday the rain came down biblical style and Robert and I watched it in the evening bounce off the top of the swing seat in the garden. It was quite meditative actually. [...]

Easter Bird Houses - 1

Morning! Happy Friday everyone. Friday? Again? Does that not seem a little odd to you? It all goes by so quickly. A project that is still ongoing is my Easter table.

Easter Table 2011 Decorations - 1

Hello! How are you? I feel like I’ve not been at this computer for an age and it’s a bit strange. Strange but nice. I’m not great at sitting still at a desk which you may have gathered by the amount of typos that regularly feature on my site. I literally type, publish what I’ve [...]

Fabric Easter Eggs - 9

Good morning! I don’t want to go any further without sending my thoughts and prayers out to the people of Japan. It’s unimaginable and to see it all captured so clearly on camera, it’s like watching a horror film. I am praying for the people of that country and for others that are arriving to [...]

Easter Tree Birds - 1

Hello! How are you today? How were your pancakes? Have you given anything up for Lent? Well, here in West Sussex things are moving along. My daughter has two teeth on the bottom that you know about and now she has two teeth coming through in the top. This means that when she is in [...]
