NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DON’T
Sorry about that, saying I had resurfaced and then disappearing again that is! Just when you thought it safe to pop your head up it gets swamped again, but that’s life. I have been busy sewing, and knitting, but it … Continue reading
CONTRARY MARY
Remember this? of course you do! Heck even I can remember it, it was only the last post and I was full of enthusiasm for the design that was in my head and the dyeing of the colours I … Continue reading
LONG TIME NO SEE
No excuses, I’ve been right here, but life got very busy there for a while – real life, not hobby-life, so sewing has taken a bit of a back seat lately. On the up side we have a new arrival in … Continue reading
NOT QUITE LIFE -v- ART! [an apology of sorts]
When you keep a blog-diary you inevitably collect a lot of photos in your media file. As it is approaching the end of another year of wearing 95% of my own hand made clothes [the other 5% allowed for tights, … Continue reading

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
DID I NOT LIKE THAT?
No I blooming well didn’t!! Although I do love this pattern [Islander Jacket Express] [and this is the third time of making, so far and will not be the last] this particular version was just like sewing a candlewick bedspread. I … Continue reading
WHAT DID YOU DO DURING THE FLOOD MUMMY?
Not the one with the Ark, [although that might be a good idea] but the current wetness. Mostly I knitted and caught up on some sewing repairs and alterations and soldiered on very spasmodically with my latest lilac blouse top. But apart … Continue reading
WHITE SHIRT AND CLICHES
Well I clearly didn’t listen to myself when I told me that I would finish the white shirt last weekend. I did do some sewing on it, but I actually finished it completely today [Wednesday]. Just three days late, I … Continue reading
