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…

Not sure when I can add proper exercise in again but hopefully soon! Thank you for the kind comments and messages, you're a lovely supporting group!…

A Couple of Bank Holiday Finishes
