Can you believe it is Friday again already!? Time for more favourites! I love this picture, look at all that yummy yarn! It is also a reminder that I really must give Punch Needle a go! I was kindly sent some supplies from Clover and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I think…… Continue reading Friday Favourites #2
I recently took part in a fun swap with fellow fans of fabric designer Sarah Jane. I am often reluctant to take part in swaps, I always worry that I don’t do enough “extras” and if the recipient will like what I have made. It is all very well making something that has been requested…… Continue reading Sarah Jane Fabric Swap
My short answer, never ever, ever again! Let me explain…warning, it’s a long one. You might want to grab a cuppa! I have talked on here before about my fear of quilting. Like a lot of quilters I relish the thrill of a new project, the pulling of crisp new fabrics and sewing together what…… Continue reading How I got on with fusible batting
I thought it would be fun to restart a weekly feature on Friday of my favourite things that have caught my eye over the week, it has been years since I last did one! I can’t promise it will be a weekly thing, frankly I am not that organised!! But I will aim to make…… Continue reading Friday Favourites
There was a time when I was really good at starting a project and seeing it through to the finish, that was before I discovered Instagram and Pinterest. Imagine that… a life before Instagram!

Every single project in there I want to make that narrowing it…… Continue reading Rainy Days Sewing Book Tour: Sidewalk Quilt and Spotlight Pillow
Summer is never a good time to plan lots of projects or think about getting much sewing/blogging done. I’m learning to shrug my shoulders and enjoy the time and not stress about it. However when Damjana emailed me asking if I would like to test her new pattern I knew I had to squeeze in…… Continue reading Apple Green Cottage – Kalina Wallet
Today is my stop on the Dorothy’s Journey Blog Tour for Riley Blake Designs! When I think of the Wizard of Oz apart from friendship and fun songs I think of Dorothy’s desperation to get home, uttering those famous lines “There’s No Place Like Home”. Being a real homebird myself I can really relate to…… Continue reading Dorothy’s Journey – Dresden Cushion
You can tell summer is well and truly here because there has not been much sewing getting done.
