At last! I finally have a new batch of jewellery bits – so I can show you the latest addition to my range of brooches and pendants: owls! I only got them last night, so please excuse the poor...

scrap-a-rama

As you probably know if you have read many of my posts, I have a certain fondness for scraps. Truth be told, I love a good scrap pack. I bought one just the other day. They’re like a lucky dip,...

trim-triminy

I have to admit it, I’m a bit of a trim-aholic. So when I spotted a multi-coloured scraps-and-trims de-stash listing on Etsy recently, I just couldn’t resist. They’re only tiny bits, but perfect...

This is where I am today! Please forgive me if you turn up bright and early at 10 am and I’m a little late setting up my stall. I have to walk lad to school, then rush home and grab a taxi to get...

I had to pop into Hopkinson yesterday. Just near Nottingham railway station, Hopkinson is one of my favourite places in town. Needless to say, it is a vintage emporium, but what an emporium!...

cushion commission

Just a quick post to share my most recent cushion commission. I absolutely love this fabric! It did need starching after washing as, despite being of a good weight, the fabric has a soft drape and...

I have always found my iphone a bit of a disappointment. I got lured into getting it when I was working as a manager earning lots of dosh. There was no personal use of phones or internet allowed at...

I find I often forget about things once they’re finished. They have their moment in my mind, usually when I’m first all fired up with an idea, and then they either work or they don’t, and I move on...

ric rac rocks!

I went to sewing class today. My plan to play it safe and rediscover some confidence in my dressmaking abilities was a good one. The pattern pieces I had drafted were correct, and my fruity skirt...

pretty thing of the week

I’m a bit rubbish about buying cards online. I have to admit that, even when the occasion I am buying for involves those closest to me, I am apt to forget all about a card (and usually giftwrap...

I have a new addiction… making pom poms! When I went to a festival the other weekend there was a fabulous kids’ area, full of crafty goodness to which I was drawn like a moth to a flame. Officially...

As you may know if you read my tweets, I am a huge fan of the radio. I usually have BBC Radio 4 on all day in the background. I make time to sit down and listen to the Archers and when possible,...

I spotted this little cabinet in my all-time-favourite local charity shop a couple of weeks ago and my heart skipped a beat. I’d been looking for something to store some of my ever-expanding fabric...

I lost my blogging mojo a bit this week, I’m sorry to say. I’ve not been feeling 100%. I haven’t done any sewing. My energy levels have been very low and I’ve not felt up to much at all. So I...

When I was younger I used to go to festivals. I went to Glastonbury in the 1980′s, when people still pitched tents in front of the main stage and you could climb over the fence and get in free, if...

It all started with a spot of spring cleaning. It’s amazing how, when the sun comes out, you notice things that have eluded your eye all winter. Like dirty windows. We live on a main road. We have...
