Tomorrow is a special day, my ‘baby’ is 3. I still can’t believe that I had a baby on April Fool’s Day but never mind, I guess someone has to have it as a birthday. I hope she appreciates how awesome her date of birth is, 1.4.14 is like a maths whizz’s dream come true.…… Continue reading An April Fool’s Day Birthday
This week has been a lot more productive than last, thank goodness! I’ve been much better at squeezing craft in between all the other jobs, sometimes I just don’t think I’ve got long enough to do one thing but really, if I just get on with it, I can do a surprising amount! The baby…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-29th March
It seems a bit odd, sharing this so far through Lent. Also, its not something I mention ‘in real life’ a lot. The sad events in London this week made me reflect and I decided to share what I’m doing. A lot of people give something up for Lent. I used to try, but I…… Continue reading Doing Lent Differently
I think this week’s WIP Wednesday needs to be renamed ‘Work in not very much progress Wednesday’. (I’m not quite sure how the acronym for that one works though, WINVP is pretty hard to pronounce!) I’ve been doing just about everything except crochet, although I did manage two rounds of the beautiful shells baby blanket. …… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-22nd March

Last week the lovely Paper Puff posted about her Mind the Gap card, which was inspirational! I investigated the cardmaking cupboard to see which…… Continue reading Just for Mum
I’m not sure how many sheep themed cards it takes to make a flock, but three felt like plenty! As I wrote in my 17 for 2017 post, I’m aiming to make cards for my ‘stash’, so that I’ve got some to draw upon in an emergency (how much of an emergency is a forgotten birthday, really?…… Continue reading A Flock of Cards
As I typed this, I realised that I haven’t crocheted now for 4 days! I’m not ill (well, I’m a bit stuffy and full of cold) but I have been busy with work stuff so crochet, and everything else fun, has been on hold. However, I did settle on which pattern to use for the…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-15th March
Free pattern and tutorial for making a Worry monster for use in school or at home.
Today I have a few minutes to myself so I’m making swatches for a baby blanket. It’s a super special blanket, for one of my closest friends, so I want it to be perfect. Choosing colours proved to be hard, but I went for mint, grey and white as they look lovely together. The pattern,…… Continue reading Decisions, Decisions
This week there is no crochet, not one project on my hook right now (apart from the mermaid tail which I’ve not done any more to). Instead I have a sewing project, or rather 4! My boss came to see me and asked if I could make some worry monsters for our school to help…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-8th March
