Now that we are one third of the way through the year (roughly!) I thought it was time to look at my aims for the year and review them. Truth be told, I hadn’t looked at them since I wrote them so it was probably about time I checked! Home Continue last year’s goals of…… Continue reading 2018 Guidelines Update
This week has seen me take quite a relaxed approach to my projects. Mr C has had a change of rota at work and it’s been his big block of time off so we’ve had some family time, including my son’s first St. George’s Day parade with Beavers. I’ve continued with the Coastal Crochet cal…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-25th April
After my near disaster last week when I almost ran out of WIPs, I decided to quickly start a scrappy project to use up some of my leftover yarn. The project I chose was the Coastal Crochet CAL. I’m quite far behind, but have managed to complete parts 1 and 2, as well as a…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-18th April
The Easter holidays have been and gone, and I had grand plans for the allotment. The children and I were going to go there and build a pot store out of pallet wood, a new strawberry patch was going to developed and we would lay out where each crop would go this year. Like many…… Continue reading April Allotment Update
It’s Friday 13th, but I’m not feeling superstitious. In fact, I’m feeling very happy as I have finally finished the cosy stripe blanket. It’s quite heavy, but really warm, and both cosy and stripy as the pattern suggests! I worked the stripes until I had run out of parchment coloured yarn, which I had the…… Continue reading FO Friday-13th April

I’ve turned the heel on the sock, and am now onto the decreases. This part is the most…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-11th April
The sketch pens have probably been my most used accessory on my Cameo 3, as they allow me to add greetings quickly and simply without using the printer or having to cut and stick fiddly little pieces of lettering (although I have also done that on occasion!) Of course, using a printer is just fine,…… Continue reading Tips for using Silhouette sketch pens
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post I said that I was going to have a busy week. Somehow I still fitted in some of my own crafting around making birthday cakes, a birthday card, Easter baskets for 4 children and an Easter tree. (I think the weather has been on my side-the allotment is…… Continue reading WIP Wednesday-4th April
As I mentioned in my WIP Wednesday post last week, it was my daughter’s birthday on Easter Sunday. The day itself passed by in a whirl of excitement as we went to visit family for a delicious Easter lunch after opening presents and cards in the morning. My little one had also requested a chocolate…… Continue reading An Easter Birthday
