NEW!!!

I've had rather a busy week looking after Milly while she settles in and making things too. So I have come up with some new products, new things always excite me and i'm constantly wanting to expand my product line so hopefully you'll like them and so will other people!

First up is the Pincushion Necklace. I've made many brooches like this and a necklace for myself but never made a necklace to sell. I get a lot of compliments when I wear mine so I thought i'd try one out in my shops and see how it goes.

Next is the Crochet Lover Badge. Available in all the same colours as the Knitter badges but for those who want to show their love for the other wool based activity! I often try to think of ways to expand my badge line to other hobbies and art based things, more on the way I hope!

And finally my favourite of the new additions. The Tea Cup Earrings! Unfortunately I can't model these for you as my ears have very large holes in them but I will try to get someone to do that for me soon. These will be available in all the Tea Cup Badge designs and probably the other random badge designs I conjure up.

Check out my Etsy or Folksy shops for these items. I will be adding them shortly.

Wow it's been a fair old while hasn't it? SORRY! one again.


I've been moving into my new home and getting things sorted there, I am now a lodger!! How 1970s! It's a beautiful house so i shall shortly take some photos to spice up this post a bit.

I've also been in Bournemouth soaking up a little too much sun (Ow!) and putting my feet in the sea, i should put those photos up too!

But as things have finally got settled, i have my sewing machine here, and my crochet and so i can get down to some business! Especially because there's a local art competition i want to enter and entires have to be in by September 10th! I better get to it.


More interesting posts soon i promise. Sorry sorry sorry!

The trials & tribulations of the 1st day back at work

My day at work began with another annoyed note in the kitchen stating "PUT YOUR DIRTY MUGS IN THE DISHWASHER. THIS IS DISGUSTING!" this would certainly make everyone aware that i had returned from my 6 days off! and luckily for my sanity it didnt take long before that job had been done, now if they could only keep it up! My dad reassured me earlier that as you get older your tether gets longer and things annoy you less. I hope i gain that trait soon!

In more fun news I am about to start a project that will be a present for my friend. She likes to have a cup of tea and listen to Radio 4 on her little radio at work and as i had a sample piece of Cath Kidtson oilcloth i thought i'd make her a fun coaster for her desk. I want to send her a little goody parcel.

i also have a long list of other projects i want to start, or just cant get right! And my god i need to figure out how to do granny squares, still dying to start to make a blanket, this is really winding me up because if i could do it i could do some crochetting at work which would make me feel so much more content.

I just started making the coaster, i tried it two ways and both caused problems, i think i was rushing it cos i realised she might pop in to see me tomorrow as she's visiting for the weekend, so i decided to leave it and take it slow with the making and i will hopefully get somewhere. I've still got lots of practising to do before i'm any good at this malarky. But i'm determined because i love it.

Pictures tomorrow i promise
