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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

We did of course put it on the pizza anyway, and then dipped Kettle Chips in it. Waste not want not. Yum. Tonight […]
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 […]
Hmmmmm…… Another long absence. But good news people! I passed my Physics exam! Woooooo! Possibly my finest achievement yet to date, as I really hated it, and forcing myself to learn it all after 15 years have passed since the last time I did Physics? PAINFUL. But one more hurdle overcome in my quest to […]
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 […]
