This is the view I am facing today. As part of the not very usual scheme of things I have been abandoning the fabric stuff for a little drippy paint stuff over the last few days. Things are getting p...
Flowers. Don't you just love them? Red ones, purple ones, pink ones, real ones, fake ones, outside ones, inside ones, the one's you grow yourself, the one's someone buys for you?? How ...
Today's project is kind of the antithesis of my usual embroidery style and subject matter. Normally I go for something figurative - a child, animal or some kind of object but here I've gone...
Its been a busy few days involving 12 year old birthdays, quilt guild meetings and the bank holiday but I'm finally here to put the terrific (or perhaps the terrible) into your Tuesday with the ...
Lately I've been feeling in an embroidery mood, the urge to stitch just seems to be prevalent over and above all habits and persuasions. After completing the huge amount needed for my book - whi...
Ive been pondering lately, thinking about why I still buy craft books when there is so much available on line for free. I love me a good crafty book - a couple of hundred pages of 'I could make ...
With the rain lashing down endlessly again; I have decided to live in denial for a few minutes by feeding you the impression that it is in fact fairly beautiful outside. These lovely pics of my finis...

In an effort to pretty up my kitchen and convince my own self to spend a little more time in there, I have found myself a new found love of making - pot holders. I am not 100% sure what pot holders a...
I'm not sure how much you think you know about me but if there is one thing I love it is this - a cup of tea. I practise my love of tea several times a day with cups of the ordinary (otherwise k...

I finished knitting my first ever pair of socks :)) It would be only true to say, a fair bit of time has been spent admiring them (I've been wearing them lots). (you can read all details on maki...
Please don't think that the title of today's post means that I am having any kind of urgent giveaway (in the UK, 999 is the number you dial when you need one of the emergency services). Ins...
Bloom quilt is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! (please excuse the overload of exclamation points). I'm so happy this one is done - I really enjoyed thinking it up and pulling it all tog...

I am feeling completely overwhelmed today. I feel like I have a bad habit, a habit that makes it almost impossible to say the word 'no'. I have said the opposite word to no far too many t...
Yesterday was a fun day and a kind of a revelation. This is because I finally got to meet some real people who quilt and live nearby-ish at the April London modern quilt guild meeting ( I don't...

Its been a blooming-ly lovely weekend around these parts. Picture the scene, hubby and the girls are out, the sun is shining and I got to spend a largeish chunk of time out in the garden handstitchi...
My house is awash with dresdens, picture the scene - it is like the sea of dresdonia has come crashing through the doors. Sharing my living space with several squillion drezzies is not a bad place t...
