I’m working on kits for a number of the projects in the book. What I’m doing is preparing packages of the same (or very similar) fabrics to those which I used, along with any other bits and pieces you need to make the item. Some of these are vintage or recycled fabrics, so rather hard…

I’ve posted over here today. About time I did, poor neglected Grublog. Updated…. and over here, about kits I’m making up for book projects. Like this:

Yesterday, in my haste to tell you that I had nothing to show you, I failed to remember to show you something which I do have to show you…. This scarf, now received by it’s new owner. The pattern is by Norah Gaughan and was found among the endless delights of Ravelry. I have become…

Apologies for my absence the last few days. I have been holed up in my country residence. Just a little place, with space for a few guests…. Of course I’m joking. Actually I simply spent an hour or two here on Saturday, picking at a dreary buffet (which really wasn’t in keeping with the surroundings)…

The Open Studio I’ve just had turned out to be more than I bargained for when my cunning tidying up by putting everything on the top shelf plan went very pear-shaped. A major shelf-malfunction occurred and a small mountain of fabric avalanched across the studio, late Thursday evening. I was feeling pretty rough anyway, and…

Not my book this time, but The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. I’ve got a good shelf-full of classic novels in cheap paperbacks, some of which I bought new as a teenager and some bought second hand since then. My plan has always been to replace them eventually with nice old hardback editions.…
