A FILLER
I apologise for the radio silence. This has been due to two things; I have been very busy Craftsy-ing and have signed up for several more classes – drinking in all the help I can get, also for a … Continue reading
NOT KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
In keeping a record of my recent makes here on this blog I mean, not in the Mrs.Bucket sense! So much so that I have to read my own blog to find out what I have done. Not good. Trouble … Continue reading
SO FAR…….
A lady can change her mind can’t she? Well, I certainly can, and have. In this post I made a point of saying that my so called ‘mystery’ Burda M104 jacket wasn’t meant to have a lining. I put one in and … Continue reading
VISIBLE!
I have a camera ~ so this will be a pic-heavy post with minimal words I’m afraid in order to catch up with finished items before they’re forgotten. Once again I apologise for my photography – I may have another … Continue reading

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
Nothing too drastic this time, but I expect that Kristy Chan would like me to point out that she doesn’t [necessarily] make something out of each Burda magazine, but that she has actually set herself a challenge to make something out … Continue reading
SUN’S OUT ~
and the tantrum is over. I can’t blame Lucie [http://lovelucie1.wordpress.com] for my own shortcomings really, but she is so clever at such a lot of things that I can’t resist just peeking to see what she is up to. I … Continue reading
THE INNER CHILD
If it doesn’t stop, I’ll have to give her official warning! That’s Lucie from Love,Lucie.com She keeps distracting me from more important things, and if she doesn’t stop I’ll have to retaliate. It was this picture that started me looking. Her … Continue reading

THINGS THAT KEEP ME OUT OF MISCHIEF.
My husband is a great fan of Wily Coyote and Roadrunner and at one time he persuaded me to make these;- Coyote is actually holding a knife and fork in his hand, which got cut off in the picture! I … Continue reading
