Really Random Thursday

Thanks to a great tute by Michelle at The Vintage Apple, I’ve embedded a pin – yay! And who wouldn’t want to be a Unicorn? Since finishing my Unicorn Days quilt I seem to have been noticing unicorns everywhere. We have them on some of our £1 coins and our passports… Wikipedia And you can hardly walk down […]

Unicorn Days

Speak of the spring, and foison of the year, The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear; (Shakespeare Sonnet 53) September. Autumn. The evenings draw in and the Mornings are cool and misty. But in the garden it’s a time of abundance. And there’s an exuberance of rich colours – […]

A Friday Finish! This should be the big Taaa Daaa day for the unicorn quilt but, unfortunately, I can’t show you a finished picture. DH and I have come to Portsmouth for a few days to help our eldest daughter move house and to have a mini holiday because tomorrow will be our 28th Wedding […]

A little progress and a little random…

I’ve started one new project, which I’m hoping to post more about very soon. My ‘pick-up-put-down’ project has seen a little progress but has been more often put-down than picked-up. My ‘Texting in Bed’ bee quilt is growing a little, thanks to my lovely bee friends, Jeanne and Carla. And I finished a pin cushion!So […]

What I did on the weekend!

This weekend I was hoping to do something with this… Or make some more of these… Or these… Or, at very least, get a bit more of this finished. I actually ended up not doing any of the above – but I did make a shop. For as long as I can remember (long before […]

RRT and TGIFF

To help me get back on track after a rather sewingless month I resolved I’d have a Friday Finish this week even if it’s only a pin cushion! So this week a pin cushion from what I call scraps, although I know some people call these little bits crumbs and some people would throw them […]
