ScrapHappy April ’24

Skidding in a bit late with this one! I couldn't think what I'd made scrappy this month. Then I looked at the thing I was stitching in my hands. Yes, got to love menopause. My little mini quilt hanger is bare so I'd thought I'd like to perhaps make some seasonal mini, embroidered quilts for…

Brace Yourself

Another big catch up post I'm afraid. All a bit of mish mash whirlwind as I've no idea where the time goes! Picking up from the last post I went to stay with Elsa and the Grands for a long weekend which was such fun. I even squeezed in a visit to a yarn shop…

December 2023

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas with your families. We were quiet but Elsa and her partner Jem did come and stay for a couple of nights which was so lovely. We had just had the amazing news that, after another op to remove some lymph nodes he has been given the all clear. Again…

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. Perhaps because the rhythm of our hobbies, whether knitting,…

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…
