With the school holidays I feel like I’ve not had much time for anything, grabbing moments here and there to do some sewing, it has meant the blog has once again been left to one side. As much as I love the summer I am looking forward to getting back into a routine again, and…… Continue reading August Round-up
A backpack has been on my sewing bucket list for ages! I’ve always fancied giving it a try but at the same time I have been very intimidated by the thought of it! Mabel has 2 lovely backpacks already, both from Cath Kidston. The thing is it’s a bit of a Goldilocks situation as one…… Continue reading Jungle Safari Toddler backpack – Back-to-School
I fell in love with Amy Sinibaldi’s new fabric line “Dollhouse” by Art Gallery Fabrics pretty much as soon as I saw it. Normally when I see a fabric line I like I cherry pick a few of my favourites and tend to just to buy fat quarters. This time I knew I would be…… Continue reading Dollhouse Cross Stitch Quilt
So not only am I getting behind on my monthly sew-alongs, I am also getting behind on blogging about them! So apologies for that! Here is May’s box of my Blooming Blossoms subscription. I am so in love with that pink fabric that I think I may have to get some for my stash. I…… Continue reading Blooming Blossom – Box 5
When my lovely friend told me last year that she was expecting their 2nd baby in June I knew right away I wanted to make them a baby quilt. We’ve been friends for about 10 years ago, I first met her in a very difficult time of my life and she was there for me…… Continue reading If you go down to the woods today…

Today I thought I’d share a few that are on my Amazon wish-list at the moment.…… Continue reading Sewing and Quilting Books on my Wish List Right Now
As was inevitable I’m starting to fall behind on my monthly sew alongs. My Into the Jungle cross stitch for May is finally finished. I say finally, it didn’t actually take me that long to finish, just getting around to stitching it! I had fondness for this one mainly because little M likes to call…… Continue reading Into the Jungle SAL – Month 5
I’m bursting with excitement and feeling incredibly honoured to be able to announce that I am one of the new Aurifil Thread’s Artisan! It is no secret that I absolutely adore Aurifil, I can remember like it was yesterday the first time I used the thread for my EPP and how I fell in love with it instantly! So to be…… Continue reading Aurifil Artisan 2018
In this month’s Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine there was a free gift which was a seam roller. I’ll be honest I’ve always been a bit dubious about them and if they actually worked. I’ve tried finger pressing to no good effect and figured they would have a similar affect so have always favoured using an iron to get a nice…… Continue reading My new favourite sewing tool
