The Village Show

July 30, 2017 MrsCraft51 Comments

This weekend was our village’s 150th show, and the whole place was buzzing. On Friday night when I took our exhibits to the marquee (the children entered a few categories too), it was raining and the field was beginning to get muddy, but there was still an air of excitement. Houses around the village were…… Continue reading The Village Show

FO Friday-28th July

July 28, 2017July 28, 2017 MrsCraft55 Comments

This time last week, I was not entirely sure that this post would ever happen. The sleeves of this cardigan caused me a mammoth headache, including me messing them up and having to frog the whole back of the cardigan to above where the sleeves began. To take my mind off the mess I’d made,…… Continue reading FO Friday-28th July

WIP Wednesday-26th July

July 26, 2017 MrsCraft36 Comments

This week has seen a bit of a knitting marathon to get the Lush cardigan finshed, as I’m considering entering it into our village show at the weekend. Last night I managed to complete it, but I’ll do a separate post on Friday as it was such a marathon learning curve. I’ll leave you with…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-26th July

Picking, Peeling and Pickling

July 23, 2017 MrsCraft17 Comments

The arrival of the school holidays also marks the start of harvesting crops from the allotment more. On Friday morning, the children and I headed to the allotment bright and early, armed with a full petrol can for me to put in the lawn mower and a few tubs to collect harvested items in. I…… Continue reading Picking, Peeling and Pickling

FO Friday-21st July

July 21, 2017July 21, 2017 MrsCraft41 Comments

Finally, Friday is here! I actually finished this on Sunday so it has been a long 5 day wait, but I thought I should show some restraint and actually post it on the right day. (Sorry Instagram followers if you’ve seen these photos lots of times already!) I joined the 16 squares using a flat…… Continue reading FO Friday-21st July

WIP Wednesday-19th July

July 19, 2017July 19, 2017 MrsCraft24 Comments

The air has been a bit blue this week because the Lush cardigan went a bit wrong (I’ve been home alone as the children have been at school and pre-school and I’ve not had work!) I’m also a fibber as it didn’t just go a bit wrong, I had to frog it back to above…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-19th July

Frugal Friday-Cardmaking Edition

July 14, 2017 MrsCraft26 Comments

If you follow my 17 for 2017 posts, you will know that I am trying to be more frugal in various areas and also avoid unnecessary craft purchases. One way I’m trying to do this is by finding new ways to use my existing stash. (I will start now by saying I spent £3.20 on…… Continue reading Frugal Friday-Cardmaking Edition

WIP Wednesday-12th July

July 12, 2017 MrsCraft27 Comments

This week I’ve been at work a lot more than normal, so I’ve felt a bit squeezed for time. However, I have managed to make pretty good progress on both projects that I’m working on. I completed the main body of the cardigan, but I haven’t done any more since then. I added a bit…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-12th July

Recipe Post-Slimming World Onion Bhajis

July 10, 2017 MrsCraft24 Comments

Any Slimming World member who goes to group will know the deal with taster nights, where everyone takes something to put on the table and recipes and so on are shared. I’m not a natural chef, so my offerings have in the past included cherry tomatoes purchased from the Co Op on the way there,…… Continue reading Recipe Post-Slimming World Onion Bhajis

WIP Wednesday-5th July

July 5, 2017 MrsCraft42 Comments

The saying ‘one step forwards and two steps back’ seems to be the theme for this week’s WIP post! To be fair, some progress has been made but if I’d not had to do any frogging then I’d probably have a finished object by now! The Lush cardigan had to be frogged back to the…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-5th July
