I’d made it my mission to complete this project before the end of the year, and managed it with a few days to spare. Way back at the end of summer, I started an Attic24 blooming flower cushion in shades to match our newly decorated bedroom. The colours were meant to pick out the ones…… Continue reading FO Friday-29th December
Welcome to my festive version of WIP Wednesday, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. This week has some slightly different content to my normal projects. Some are ‘cheats’ as they are also finished, but I can explain why each could still be a work in progress! I’ll start with our offering to…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-27th December

Anyway, I’ve still found a few minutes here and there, in between writing cards and wrapping presents. My first (and…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-6th December
In November, I did a few things that weren’t on my list of goals for the year, including my first craft fair and starting a new (permanent!) job, but I haven’t even thought about my ‘real’ goals until today. I have a feeling that progress may not have been exactly great, since my attention was…… Continue reading 17 For 2017-November Update
