I am getting on well with my latest blanket but it is not yet completed and I am still leaving the more tricky sewing for the rainbow baby coat so I decided to share this with you. Still feeling below par, I have been finding that doing a bit of colouring in the afternoon has… Read More More Colouring
Over a year ago now my younger daughter bought me a colouring book. At the time I wasn’t sure if colouring in pictures was a good idea because of the arthritis in my wrists. However with time the pain is much less and recently I went through a period of being crazily anxious and I… Read More Colouring in!
I have finished all the squares for the other side of my cushion cover and been arranging them and rearranging them to decide how to join them together. My first idea had been to do a few in solid colours then a few in two colours and blend them together but after using up a… Read More Three choices
I can see that Louisa certainly has the making of a crafter in her. She was working on at least two projects simultaneously during the week: her cord bookmark and her crochet headband. (More if you count the practice crochet and colouring). She already has plans for what she wants to make in the future.… Read More A Crafty Week – Saturday
I love making blankets though I need to have a purpose in making them.

(We’ve had some decent sunshine recently so it was very foolish of me to wait till today to take a photograph, when it is dark and wet, but here it is!) Just to recap: the pattern I am using is this from Jan Eaton’s “200 Ripple Stitch… Read More Ripple blanket recap
Sometime ago, when I told people about my son’s new flat, someone suggested that I should make him a housewarming present.

Today is a whole year since my first post on 22nd March 2012. I felt that it ought to be marked in some way. Now some people have a special giveaway but since I have just had one of those, I thought maybe I should do something slightly different. I thought of a giveaway where… Read More My Blogging Anniversary
Here it is as promised. My earlier cafetière cosies were made very quickly just to try out basic ripple, granny stripe and adding beads. This time I took more time and more care with the making. I decided to use buttons to join at the back as I thought that would be neater. Here are… Read More Cafetière Cosy
This is my hundredth post. So exciting. Hard to imagine in the beginning doing so many! Now to the topic in hand. It is not in my nature to start a project like this CAL without casting my mind forward and trying to imagine what the finished article will look like. The big question seemed… Read More CAL: Joining squares
