Illness blues…
Ok, I’m not really blue, just ill! I think I over did it trying to move in to my studio so for the last week or so I’ve been so under the weather that I’ve hardly been enjoying that new studio. I’ve taken some time for proper rest and recovery which means stopping at home, [...]
Dress phase…
Summer isn’t here yet (in fact it’s really really cold) but I’m determined to not let that dampen my search for the perfect dress. After I completed my Rooibos this week I’ve decided that I can’t wait any longer before making another dress so I’ve ordered the pattern for the Eclair dress. I’m hoping to [...]
So many patterns, so little time…
I had an extremely productive morning today – I made the Rooibos dress! I was so excited through the whole process, I just couldn’t wait to see the finished product. I also had that slightly apprehensive feeling about whether the bugger will fit or not! No worries on that front though – it fits really [...]
Craftsville…
There is a wonderful new site in the lovely land of the internet – Craftsville. It’s run by the very fabulous Michelle and Helen (Hello Memo) and looks like it’ll be a great place to champion all that’s good about indie design. I was lucky enough to get a mention today on their Good Finds [...]
I love Colette and Kiss Prudence…
I have a new pattern obsession – Colette patterns. My patterns arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to start them. My back is very bad this week so I can’t do much of anything but I can sit at a sewing machine so that’s what I did! Here is the gorgeous fabric I used, it’s [...]
One week to my next fair…
It’s only one week to my next craft fair – Love Craft and only two weeks until Spring Fling – and usually at this point I’d be running around printing like a crazy lady and getting ready but I’m not – it feels so strange! I’m still preparing myself for the possibility that I might [...]
Stuck at home…
I’m having a really bad day today, my back is playing up in a really bad way. It’s been painful since Christmas, just gradually getting worse but these past 2 days it’s been really bad. It was difficult to go to sleep last night, I just couldn’t find a comfortable position to lie in. I [...]
We’re moving!
Our offer on the house we really wanted was accepted so we’re moving! With a bit of luck in 2-3 months we’ll be in our own house – let’s just hope the survey doesn’t show up anything nasty! It was the first house we looked at and is on the road I’ve wanted to live [...]
What a week…
It’s been a funny old week here – here in Yorkshire we’ve had more beautiful snow (although it’s getting a bit slippy now!) but it looks sooooo pretty! Also I’ve been house hunting and looked at lots of horrible houses and one really nice one (hubby is making an offer today so cross your fingers). [...]
Treasury-fest…
After another week nursing a cold (seriously, do I have an immune system!?!??!?!) I was feeling pretty low but then this happened – I was featured in three different treasuries with three different items, how lucky am I? A huge big thank you to fhfteam, elde and LustreBeads!
