Next knitting project…
I’ve been trying to think of what knitting to take with me on holiday and I can’t decide. I’ve got some poor little socks on the go which I managed to get quite a bit done on at the craft fair. There might not be enough though to do though as I’d get them finished [...]
Banner tutorial (Part two)
Ok, the last part left off with the pressing of the first few pieces and matching them up. Here are the first few pieces all fixed on. Once all your pieces have been fixed, stand back and admire! Now it’s time for the last few touches, the eyelets. These are what we used: Size 14mm [...]
Pin cushions!
I’m trying something new, it took me a while to figure out how to sew them this morning but here are my tests with some scrap knitting print fabric… I did the large one first and then decided it was too big so I made a slightly smaller one. It’s hard to tell from the [...]
Knitting some central heating…
Have you heard all the news about gas prices going up again? It’s scaring the living daylights out of me and the hubby as we barely had enough money to pay the bill last winter! We also got out new gas bill this month and a notice from our lovely gas company that they [...]
Banner tutorial (Part one)…
Ok, here it is, the tutorial I’ve been promising. This tutorial is for making a fabric banner using t-shirt transfers. I thought long and hard about how to make the banner, first I thought sewing a patchwork-type banner, then I thought fabric paints. In the end I thought that transfers would be a little easier [...]
Back to work and back ache…
Well, after a delightful week off work I went back today. Could I have picked a worse day to leave the house? It absolutely chucked it down from the word go this morning and it still hasn’t stopped. I had the usual lack of enthusiasm this morning for getting back into the old routine – [...]
Craft fair day…
I had a really nice time today at the craft fair! There were quite a few people who came which was probably because of the lovely weather but also I met some lovely stall holders making some lovely little items, I have to give them a little shout out… here is what I came back [...]

It’s because I’m doing the promotion especially for the fair. Here is what you can win, a nice little hand-printed fabric pocket [...]
Egg spacemen and craft banners…
Mmmmm, my breakfast this morning… I feel like a 5 year old when i have a breakfast like this but I like it! Here he is 5 minutes later… Isn’t it sad, no more eggy spaceman! What a nice start to a week off work. I have worked all the hours I have to next [...]
What a weekend…
I’m not sure how much more rain we can take here! I am wondering exactly when our summer is going to start. I suppose if the weather was good though I would only feel bad that I was inside working instead of out enjoying it though, us Brits just like a good moan really! Well, [...]
