The First Day of Spring (a story)

One of my favourite things about living in the countryside is having no light pollution. I tend not to carry a torch because the chicken run gate is tied up with string and needs two hands to undo it and often I don’t need one anyway. Sometimes we can barely see the darkness of the sky for […]

Wandering Camera

Today, I’m linking up with Soma over at Whims and Fancies for her second Wandering camera linky party. Weatherwise, we’ve had a very dull and gloomy month and, since I’ve been without my actual camera, I’ve been rather avoiding taking photos. One morning, however, when there was a break in the rain we took Poppy to […]

The beginning of a quilt…

My Favorite Patterns 163 March is my month in the Fat Stash Bee. For some reason, it took me a bit by surprise and I couldn’t think what to ask for or what type of quilt I’d really like – probably because I’m a bit of a one project person and I’m in the middle […]

WIP

In Progress: One quilt. Not much to show yet but this really must be my project of the month… Finished: One handkerchief, requested at short notice for the wedding of my daughter’s friend. I was given a picture, which was clearly machine embroidered, and the handkerchief…I did attempt to hand embroider straight onto the hanky […]

HO, HO, NO!

Ho, Ho, No! A month to go And nothing to show… Three of my children have November birthdays – one of them is today – and I used to have a strict rule of not even thinking about Christmas until December. This was partly to protect the specialness of the birthdays (my eldest son has […]

Wool on Sundays – 90 (A doll called Alice)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays – 90 and thank you to everyone who stopped by last week :) As I have nothing new in the way of yarn makes this week, I’d thought I’d show some more pictures of a doll called Alice (named after my grandma by the lovely Benta). You may have met […]
