Tutorial Tuesday chain stitch

chain stitch is a stitch that I have hardly ever used. I have vague memories of making a chain stitch embroidery as a child at school but that's about it. This could be because I lean towards laziness and it seemed like a faffy stitch for outlining but then (I... Continue reading

I think embroidery is great for children especially if they can embroider their own drawings. My boys always enjoyed handcrafts more than my daughter really. I hope you had fun too x

A wonky garden shed with a cat...

After a marathon of stitching yesterday while listening to radio 4 (ask me anything about our economy or Teresa May's opinions about the police and I can tell you!!) I have finished THE SHED! I'm thinking it's going to make a lovely cushion if I ever get to Truro to... Continue reading

Pipany suggested that they are milk maids and I think she is right. It got sunnier the next day but there were some pretty big waves!! Luckily they were off the boat the day before the big storm!! x

I love choughs, they are really distinctive from other crow type birds and it always seems special to see them x

funnily enough I have spent my whole life avoiding gardening for the very reason that my mum used to drag us around her garden (she still does!) to look at all the things she had grown. Not one of us gardens! I am sure that the children will make it lovely and then I will cook the produce (I'm not sure if they realise that this is the idea). I think gardening must skip a generation!!
