RAINBOW HARE

OMG

I read somewhere, recently, that if there is an elephant in the room you should introduce it straightaway. So I should probably mention (though I fear bringing the wrath of quilt world on my head) that I have never loved improv. Whilst I’ll happily improvise and let projects evolve as they will, I like to have […]

Wool on Sundays – 155 (Peter Mouse)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays! This month, I have finally done some knitting :) I finished the ‘Girlfriend Market Bag’ that I had just started on the last Wool on Sundays… And I found and finished (and gifted) a baby cardigan that had been mislaid in the Makery… But my favourite make is Peter Mouse. He is […]

Dorothy’s House

Today is the Endeavourers third Art Quilt reveal day. Our challenge theme for this quarter has been ‘spiral’ and my submission is called Dorothy’s House. I knew I might well be short of time this quarter so I decided to go with my first idea – Dorothy’s House (from the Wizard of Oz) caught in […]

The blogger who came in from the garden

Whilst we were in Venice, a neighbour looked after our chicken. The chicken feed is kept in a dustbin an old stable, which in truth has been slowly falling into disrepair over more years than we’ve lived here. Rather than leave the door swing and bang in the wind, as it is wont to do, […]

Wool on Sundays – 154 (square one)

Little bits of June

Long, long ago – or so it seems, though it was really only until around the beginning of May – I used to blog here… But since my blogging and, alas, crafting adventures seem confined to the hours of rain and darkness, and since we’ve been enjoying an unusually long spell of glorious weather with […]

Wool on Sundays – 153 (knitter in progress)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays :) Have you had a yarnful month? I think if there were a prize for the smallest bit knitting in a month (not counting months of no knitting at all) I would win! It has been very hot here, the garden is still on-going (though I am hoping an end […]

Currently, I’m a prisoner in the garden where I seem destined to live out the rest of my days and late into the evenings weeding and weeding and weeding….So much time to dream up exciting new sewing projects – and so little time to sew… I will be back when it rains! I hope […]

Wool on Sundays – 152 (not much to show)

Welcome to May’s Wool on Sundays. I hope the sun is shining, today, on your part of the world. Since the last Wool on Sundays, I seem to have been juggling lots of things and balls of wool were not in the mix. Mainly, my every waking (non-working) daylight moment has been taken up with […]
