Scout Scout Scout
I am generally a very casually dressed person. Like tshirt and jeans pretty much 99% of the time. However, I recently had occasion to require something a little smarter (when I say recently, I actually mean over 3 weeks ago, (eagle eyed readers might remember it from this post) but I didn’t get around to […]
Stashbusting some slightly OTT Earrings
This morning I woke up with the urge to make Pom Poms. So I did. It is a nice fun little activity that is easy to do while catching up on my trashy tv programmes. NB. I used my Clover Pom Pom Makers, but if you look at this post, I put in a few […]
The Red Red Robin……… : Erithacus rubecula
I guess with this pattern being the freebie for December, it was meant to be a bit seasonal… but alas. I didn’t finish it back then! Done! He is kinda cute. But yey! I did it. I finally caught up with my birds and completed the set. So now they are all up on […]
On Game Days We Wear Teal….. Part 2.
This weekend has been a lazy weekend. I think it was due after a hectic week, but I did make an effort on Saturday morning to make Mr M a new shirt. It is another Colette Negroni, made using the exact same pieces that I had already adjusted for his previous shirts here. I made […]
Hedwig: Bubo scandiacus
Sometimes fixing a mistake is so depressing and time consuming. I guess that this is an example of when it is acceptable to trash something and start over. I started this penultimate bird in the CrossStitcher Magazine series a couple of months ago, messed up part of it early on, and then it took so […]
Welcome back Bernie!
Happy days people! I picked up my beloved Bernina from Ray’s Sewing Machine Center yesterday, and she is running smoothly once again! I was concerned that it was curtains for Bernie after I took it to one sewing machine repair place and they suggested that it was too expensive to fix, and that I should […]
Superchunky Snood
Sometimes I like to treat myself to buying a real hard copy of one of the UK crafting magazines. A couple of months before Christmas I bought the Mollie Makes Christmas Magbook so I could ogle all the crafting projects I would like to do if I had time, and the cute Wool and the […]
On Game Days We Wear Teal……
After many months of eyeing up Sharks fabric at Joann, and then finally buying some…. then it sitting on the shelf…. I took my friend Brooke to her first Sharks game last night, so even only having my comedy portable machine, I decided it was time to make myself a top! (crappy phone picture of […]
Knot Cushion
This project originated way back in August, when my friend Rachael and I were sat in my old local pub in Bristol (Yey for The Old Stillage!), and she was telling me about these cool knot cushions she had seen while on holiday in Iceland, but couldn’t justify £150 for one cushion. being crafty ladies […]
My Borderline Inappropriate Christmas Dress
You guys! It is only blimmin’ Christmas! And quite importantly, I only have one more module of Physics and an exam to get through, and then I am freeeeeeee! Until going back to school (hopefully) in the Summer. Anyhow, while work commitments, distance, and a general lack of organisation have prevented me from writing Christmas […]
