Of course last week seeming craftless ish wasn’t helped by me having the dread lurgy and posting a day earlier than usual. John decided to join in with the sneezing and general nose blowing so we’ve had a wonderful week! This year is Dorset Art Weeks and I also have another exhibition to do some… Continue reading When You’re Doing Your Own Head In.
Nothing to Report
I’ve had a merge week. You know the ones where you blink and they’re gone and for the life of you, you can’t think why, how or after doing what? Tuesday was my art group meeting and we did Lino cutting with a bit of printing. I’ve done a bit before but usually the textile… Continue reading Nothing to Report
No Finishes But

Washing and blocking is very much worth it though especially with this tapestry crochet. The stitches all needed to find their place and proper shape. As… Continue reading Roseta is Finished!
Mid January
I haven’t chosen a word for this year. I’ve done it for a number of years and lately it’s been to ‘Use’ up what I have and I’m loving doing so I’m going to just carry on trying not to buy and do that. Saying that I did actually buy new yarn for the baby… Continue reading Mid January
Oops!
Sorry! The last post may have seemed a little disjointed. I had been trying to change a little something on the blog and seemed to have messed up an awful lot! At the very least the last picture wasn’t explained and there was no comments box. I hope I have it all right again now… Continue reading Oops!
