Summer Rolls On

Looking for something portable, light and easy to do in the heat I picked up the Rico Fashion Modern Tweed vest pattern R1906 in Mustard to finish. The pattern is one that finishes about the model’s belly button so, knowing I like about a 16 inch side seam, I added a fair bit to the…

A Bit of Creativity

It's been a long time coming! Along with the wonderful cooler weather and the exhibitions coming up I've actually found a little urge to make something! I made a mess like this... And this... Put in a little soapy water and elbow grease and ended up with these. Then, after some stitch was added by…

Being in the Wars

Well we’ve had a few weeks of strangeness starting with John and a nosebleed. Not just any nosebleed of course. His has to involve blood vessels well up into the sinus cavity and being on two types of blood thinners. Then there was the no response from 111, 999 having a 4 hour minimum ambulance…

Slowly Getting Done

Well I can't quite believe how fast May has gone! Though we've had warm weather we've also had some torrential downpours and massive thunderstorms and lightning. Little Gwyn has taken it all in her stride thankfully. Quick catch up with the Stitch and Crochet a Longs. The Nordic sampler is almost up to date with…

Some Away and an Exhibition

Spring is Springing

As I'm sure you can imagine most time this past month has been taken up with Gwyn. Teaching her the basics before she knows different is quite a chore. She has tried the pre wash cycle already. At the beginning of the month I signed up to Laura Kemshall's 31 days of Art Journaling. I…

Long Time No Blog!

First of all very, very belated Happy New Year!! Which started for us with our usual sunrise dog walk on the first day of the year. Yes we're still here and doing ok! Thank you for the messages especially concerning John and his treatment. We did the full thing of hospital PCR tests, isolating and…

Twixtmas 2021

In the run up to Christmas I found some of the Aida and linen offcuts from projects I have made this year. Taking a leap I patched them together and made some frankenfabric. I've started on one half with some leftover threads, the other half will be neutral colours. Don't know where it's going but…
