I’ve finally had chance to go through my swag bags and start sorting things out. This has been helped by yesterday’s new drawers which are now all tidy and organised! Those that know me will laugh at that. Me, organised?? My argument is that I can be organised if I have enough time and enough…

Not the hopping and skipping kind of way, but the acquiring useful things from skips way. Well, not exactly. Skips these days don’t tend to have anything exciting in them, though I usually get cross about the amount of recyclable stuff going into landfill. I consdidered heaving an extra large ironing board out of one…

I have at last finished the braids for a bracelet Heather has commissioned from me. I kept starting them when I had company and making mistakes. Once you have made a mistake in one of these braids it is almost impossible to correct it. These are worked in gold thread, and it tangles and twists…

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…

I’m starting to wonder if I should invent some new type of speed-blogging in order to get something up here even when I have no time at all. The last week of silence has mostly been to do with being in Scotland for a few days, plus some of the usual overwork. But Scotland is…

If you have come over from Treehugger then just scroll down to see the cushions. Thanks for visiting! For everyone else, I have confessions. I planned to make a smock for Tie One On for the May challenge, but alas I have failed. I had several ideas, but none of them really worked out in…

I’ve had my recycled cushions featured on Treehugger.com! To see the cushions and their prices, please look hereFor other cushions and fabulous things please take a moment to look at my main site. More everyday sewing news soon… I am working far too hard and am somewhat exhausted!
