Scrap Happy March

Hello, I'm new!! Yes I decided to join in with the monthly ScrapHappy Challenge when the offer came up as I am often using scraps lately in a bid to use up what I have rather than buy anything new. I have several plans in the pipeline but for this month I found a PHD…

February So Far

I've had a bit of a strange month. Back in June I started having issues with my right knee. Up until then it was the only joint that wasn't affected by arthritis! I had what was a Baker's Cyst on the back which popped after I knelt down unthinking to do something with the puppy.…

Another Little Tutorial

A couple of posts ago I wrote that I was putting together some of my printed fabrics into a project that has been on the back burner for a while. Well if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you will have seen a few of the results. I had a few people ask how…

A Weekend Away

Farewell December

Another Month On

We were told/warned that the 4 to 6 week period after a death is probably the worst part and they could be right though it’s all pretty awful to be honest. The time when the quiet descends, the funeral is past, all the paperwork has been signed, all the meeting with his friends and old…
