WOOL ON SUNDAYS – 1 (about page and felted mittens)

Until about ten years ago, I used to knit a lot but then I virtually gave it up. This was partly because my children became teenagers and decided they didn’t want home made clothes any more (Note to younger Mums – this is just a phase and once they become young adults they’ll be asking you […]

Really Random Thursday!

I love Really Random Thursdays and all week I seem to notice things that strike me as perfect for a RRT post but then, somehow, on Thursdays my mind goes blank and I forget whatever I was going to write about. So, today, I thought I’d share part of a post from a blog I […]

Meet Joanna!

Thoughts are like butterflies. They appear out of nowhere and most of them should probably be left to pass by. But when I thought about having a piano (which I don’t really want) in my sewing room and not having a design wall (which I would like) and about having some random pieces of curtain […]

Or for a very moving real life example check out this link – Wild Elephants gather inexplicably, mourn […]

The trouble with quilts…

The trouble with quilts is that you can’t eat them…likewise cushions, wall hangings, bags… So, apart from this bee block for Carla, which I made using Amy at Badskirt’s tutorial, every time I was home during daylight hours last week I ended up harvesting and freezing vegetables, making soups and stewing apples. This week hasn’t […]

Wind Horses, Dreams and Other People’s Pictures!

First: Other people’s pictures [edited to remove some images from pinterest]. My currently in progress quilt is a kind of illustration of the post but on Tuesday my lap top broke – I hope I will find out later today if it’s coming back restored or beyond economic repair. Yesterday my phone broke and that […]

From the Heart…

Last Friday I posted A Question? My question was about this… … and I didn’t say anything else about it because I didn’t want to influence the response at all. And I would really like to thank everyone who replied. I so much appreciate the thoughtfulness and consideration that went into all of your responses. […]
