I was talking to someone on the telephone the other day about Heather Bailey’s Bijoux and Pop Garden fabric collections.

I know that I’ve said it before but I really do not like doing the Accounts, and sometimes there is no escape and you just have to. Then, because it’s boring your mind (well - my mind anyway) starts to wander and you get seducded by the ‘dark side’ which is the interweb and [...]

This is a little bag which I made for me…. a bag to grab and run with as I dash out to pick up the children from school. It isn’t huge, so hopefully it won’t collect all the detritus that my bags tend to collect.

Saturday and Sunday were spent visiting and planning the next stage of this project….
We’re creating ourselves an allotment in the corner of this field, we began it last year fighting back the brambles and the nettles. Himself, fancied a flame thrower but that seemed a bit like extreme gardening to me. It must [...]

… I made another flower brooch today. It’s a little smaller than yesterdays version with a different number of petals. This time I used one fabric (Amy Butler’s Martini in yellow) and there was no indecision about the button. I think the colours are nice, fresh and quite spring like…. I [...]

I hope that you all enjoyed your half-term.
Once the ice and the snow finally disappeared we made the most of being able to get and about again. The trouble with snow is of course, that it melts…. and this happens…
…Danger! Mud eating wellies!!
In the meantime though some new fabics have arrived [...]
