Bad backs, work and all that…
I don’t know where to start really – what a bad week and a half I’ve been having! I hate to moan but I just haven’t been able to get my head straight. In some ways I’ve had a great couple of weeks, including selling all of the stock I made 2 weeks ago! That [...]
Why I haven’t been around much lately…
I have been super busy trying to sell and make all my lovely goodies! I’ve also been working on the temporary (and a little rubbish!) website so please stop by and have a look.www.plain-jane-textiles.co.uk
Not much knitting going on…
Things have been busy busy busy and I still haven’t finished my one colinette jitterbug sock yet! I’ve been so busy trying to fit in extra hours at work and making enough products to sell in my etsy shop that I’ve been run off my feet. Isn’t it a shame when you can’t even [...]

The early bird gets the print…
Oh to have a darkroom! Maybe if I did I’d have more sleep! I’ve been contemplating turning my attic in to a partioned room wiht heavy blackout curtains. These are the kind of things I ponder at 4:30am!My screens have to be exposed in the darkness so that the light can be concentrated so usually [...]
Working and printing…
After a much needed 4 days off work I’m back this afternoon and already I have spent all morning getting all busy as a bee! I ordered some new screen yesterday and it promptly turned up in the post this morning at 10 am – now that’s service!So I’ve been busy stretching screens and hopefully [...]
