I finally photographed the first lot of fabrics and things I have recently acquired. The top one I have already forgotten where that came from, it’s been knocking around for ages waiting for a photo. The green one was part of a huge stack given to me by Gillian, which also contained lots of other…

I rushed away from the computer yesterday to go and get on with some wardrobe refashioning, but was thwarted. I hunted and hunted for the green shirt work-in-progress. It was not in the WIP pile, nor in any of the other likely heaps. Hmm. I wonder if I got fed up with it and ejected…

Yet another day has slipped by without a needle and thread passing through my hands. It is deeply frustrating to have made so little for so long. Though at the weekend, while I was being a medieval silkwoman for the weekend I made some linen socks! It will talk far too long to explain this…

It’s over a week since I had chance to post, and yet, I feel I have nothing new to say. I tend to feel that this blog is for me to tell you about things I have made, bought, seen, done- in the textile and fashion line only. And truth be told, sometimes I just…

As I said before I am obsessed with finishing things. Happily, I completed the yellow and green apron yesterday, along with some bags to go off to a gallery today and some purses for an accessories party my friend is hosting for me in Edinburgh next weekend. And today the finishing activity has been applications…

barely awake, so just a quickie!These are two of the squares I knitted for my knitting buddy Lou in Brighton Stitch and Bitch. I was too slow of the mark to make any for the peace tank but was more organised for Lou’s degree show. She’s writing her MA History of Design dissertation on the…

Just a little sneak peek of part-finished apron. I still haven’t finished it. Most frustrating. Tomorrow will be finishing things day. I can complete things and tick them off my list with a great sense of satisfaction! But first I have to wade through the mountain of paperwork that is taking over my desk and…
