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, [...]
Fabric love…
I’m excited because tomorrow I’m visiting my favourite fabric shop again, Patchwork Direct in Darley Dale. I’m going back for some more gorgeous Polly Loves Paris fabric and the pattern for the most gorgeous quilt in the world. It’s been a couple of months since I last went and I’m sure I blogged about it [...]

New notebooks…
I’m finally getting in gear for the summer fair season but I still need things that are nice and easy (and pain free!) to print so I’ve started with some notebooks. I thought it was time for some new colours and also time to print some of my designs that haven’t been on the cute [...]
New mirrors…
It’s been a while since I made some mirrors so I thought what better than to make some out of my new English Insults fabric. Whilst I was at it I also made some out of my Birdcage and new Bees in the Hive prints! Then I had a happy photo session to finish the [...]
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 [...]
Bank holiday blues…
I had a sewing disaster today, let me say now that I hate rubbish sewing patterns! I borrowed a book from a friend which has lots of lovely looking patterns in it, including the strappy top which I wanted to make but today I tried and it was a disaster. Let’s forget for a second [...]
I miss sewing…
I had a fabulous day planned today – a mega sewing day with 2 strappy tops made with my lovely new fabric but it didn’t happen, boo hoo. Instead me and the hubby spent all day tidying the spare room which more or less hasn’t been touched since we moved in a month ago. The [...]
Photography day…
Today was a photography day, I did have something else planned but unfortunately that didn’t work out so instead of twiddling my thumbs I took lots of photos! I’ve had a lot of fabrics and products sat around for quite a while but as I hadn’t taken any pictures I haven’t been able to list [...]
