November Catchup

Finally I can try and put my head straight enough to write a blog post. It's been a funny old month since I last wrote. I managed to complete the 100 skips a day challenge for Cancer Research. My knees are very, very grateful that it's over and they have promised to desert me should…

Mid September

Well I didn't do the Scrappy Happy again this month, but I'm OK with that. I have come across another bag of part yarn balls in DK so will add them to my basket for the Scrappy Blanket and it will boost me to make a few more squares and the triangles. First off I…

September Catchup

I have a few finishes and starts to Blog Log this week. We've had roofers in replacing a large leaky roof and I've been catching up with repairing the internal damage, a huge gable end window and clearing endless dust so I'm amazed I finished anything.

July Done

This month I caught up with my #monthlymeaningfulmake with June being stitched with some of the pieces of fabrics I had left at the beach for that month. As July has mostly been wet I stitched some weather symbols on the grey, gloomy felt. I like how these are a reminder of something in the…

Running Through May

Well it's all been a bit strange since we last met. I've only done up to the 15th of May on the Daily Stitch so far so a fair bit of catch up to do there. The Kory's Owl Goldwork piece has been on the back burner too. I've finished the wing Pearl Purl outlining…

March the Last Bit

Tracy and I had a little jolly out the other week. We went to see New Forest Mohair as he had his shop open. I’ve seen him a few times at the shows but this was a first visit to his actual home and to see the goats too. We bought a few bits there…

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.…
