Wool on Sundays – 22 (Duck,Duck, Goose)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays – 22. Thank you very much for the link ups last week and to everyone who stopped by. After I’d re-arranged the crochet squares for the 174th time, I decided enough was enough and it was time to join them together. I’ve been joining from the back by crocheting together […]

Really random Thursday!

Are you going to enter the Holiday Memories Quilt competition over at Celtic Thistle Stitches? I’ve been trying to get some stitching finished to make a cushion for it but I’m suspecting I’ll never get it finished so I thought I’d change tack. And I’ve been struggling because, although I loved the holiday season this […]

Really Random Thursday!

And whenever I’ve been home lately I’ve been picking and stewing plums and making jam. And picking, cutting and freezing beans. The […]

April began bright and bare-branched Gradually a greening A peeping through of spring flowers And a contentedness of ducks. Then, a few days later, I walked around the pond with Lucy, And the world was bursting into life. […]

Bad Sewing Week :o(

Well this has been a bad sewing sewing week – in both senses of the word. It started off all well and fine with lots of very enjoyable browsing of everyone else’s blogs and lots of looking at the wonderful pictures everyone has been posting on Cindy’s Mug Rug/ Goodie Swap Flickr Group. Then Autumn […]

This Week’s (not) Sewing

I’m thinking I’d better post something because, although I always intend to be a good, regular blogger, somehow things keep getting in the way and now I’ve joined the Goodie Swap, organised by Cindy at Fluffy Sheep, I don’t want my fellow swappers to visit and get the impression I’ve abandoned my blog. Because I like […]
