After a little while of not quite being sure what to blog about and feeling stuck in a rut, I had a think and decided to write an A-Z of crochet. It’s going to cover crochet techniques, stitches and other random facts and snippets. I’m hoping to write a post a day but for some…… Continue reading A is For Amigurumi
This week has just been another wet and horrible one, which means that some of our plans have been postponed. It has also been a strange one, with the EU Referendum taking place. I’ve struggled to find 7 interesting things this week as it seems to have just involved going to work and getting rained…… Continue reading Sunday Sevens #6
This card was made using my DIY embossing plate and a hand drawn Lego man (the kids Lego box came in handy!) I just used the blocks to make a number 5 (Dave thought it was an ‘S’ but never mind!) and attached the head using 3D foam tape. I didn’t use any other embellishments…… Continue reading Lego and Shopkins Birthday Cards
I wanted to make my niece a Lego card to go with her birthday present but I didn’t have an embossing folder suitable for making the bricks. I remember seeing somewhere that you can emboss pretty much anything using a tan embossing mat. I got mine online for around £10 and it is really versatile…… Continue reading DIY Embossing Plate

I’ve almost finished up to the end of part 3 now and only a few more rounds until it begins to square off. I’ve had to sneak in a few blue rounds to make the wool go…… Continue reading Sophie’s Garden Update
Welcome to my 5th Sunday Sevens, thanks again to threads and bobbins for creating it. This week has been pretty quiet, but one or two little exciting things have happened. I’ll get straight on with it as the first was actually pretty awesome. 1) Collected in true allotmenteer style in a plant pot, I harvested…… Continue reading Sunday Sevens #5
Did you read that in the title? June! The weather seems to have forgotten and the recent storms have meant that the allotment soil has been reverted back to February levels of sogginess (basically knee deep mud). We’ve not been as much as we’d like because of that, as although we don’t mind the kids…… Continue reading Allotment Mid June Update
It’s been a bit of a busy week or so for card making, with Father’s Day and birthdays. Luckily I’d been planning them out well in advance so it was just a case of finding time to make them. (Sometimes easier said than done when unexpected things crop up!) The first card I made was…… Continue reading A Cluster of Cards
