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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I have various ways of ruining shoes… 1, I wear them out dancing, spill drinks on them, hail a taxi in them and throw them on the kitchen floor when I finally get back home (please realise that this hasn’t happened in about five years but shoes were ruined nonetheless) 2, I wear the wrong [...]

While I wait for the garden to bring me flowers these will do. Simple fabric hearts, sewn together with wadding/stuffing in the middle. Like a sandwich. And then placed on top of a bar-b-q skewer with a tiny scrap of fabric tied below as a trim to finish. There’s no point in waxing lyrical about [...]

Anaïs is slowly but surely getting in to ‘proper’ clothes. Where there were babygrows now there are dresses. Where there were big pull on trousers now there are tights and cute tops. It’s nice that we’re heading in to this stage. Well I say nice, it’s interesting. I’ve never been a mum before so this [...]

I like a bit of cute occasionally. I also like Spring. I adore Tulips and my favourite colour combination is soft green, blush pink and white. Please let me reveal to you ‘The Darling’ It’s my first apron (although I prefer the word Pinny) of 2011 and will lead the way in a rather kitsch, [...]

I’ve had this knitting box since 2006! It has followed me from my flat in London, to my first house with Robert and now resides here with us in West Sussex. I love the shape and I love how light it is. But I didn’t EVER like the finish. It was also no use to [...]
