Granny Doll

Apologies, yet again for the photos, our weather is still looking like this… My only sewing finish, this week, started as a yarn finish – some crochet granny triangles. But I didn’t really have enough colours in this yarn for a very good effect and I started to think some triangle grannies might be a […]

Makery Makeover

I’ve finished the quilty project I mentioned earlier in the week so I’m linking up with TGIFF for the first time in ages. This is part of my sewing room makeover and is my January attempt to use up what I’ve got and upcycle. For quite a while, I’ve been begging and borrowing (I haven’t […]

WIP

Started – something quilty at last – using up some leftover backing from this quilt and an odd sized piece of sheeting. In Progress – Anyone who makes jokes along the lines of ‘the worst Winter I ever had was the Summer I spent in the UK!’ should try a Winter visit! I finished off the felt […]

Birds in Progress

In progress this week, I have some new birds that just need a few finishing touches… And a completely new project. This may look like the beginning of something very pink but really it’s the very pink beginning of something… Suddenly I love crochet! Rather than playing hooky, I should be taking shop photos but […]

Solomon Grundy and USP (2014 – Notes to Self)

From reading a LOT of Quilting Blogs over the past two and a half years I get the impression that, had Solomon […]

Wool on Sundays – 6 (socking and frogging)

Welcome to the first Wool on Sundays of 2014. I’m hoping this will be a good year for yarn! At last I’m able to show pics of these secret Christmas socks. I used this free pattern from Garn Studio and Drops Karisma as suggested. I’m probably the last person in the world to have discovered Garn Studio but, if […]
