Well, I am working on a scarf for my grandmother for her birthday - um, as it was today I kind of missed that one... and did a boyfriend scarf for Christmas. I will make him relinquish it for a photo! Had been doing silver jewellery, and will be going back as soon as I have the spare cash again! Mainly its been baking, to be honest... All good wholesome fattening fun!

January Times

I'm a freak, I know. I love January. Time to start over, it's even better for new pencil cases than September. A friend once told me that it's a lousy time to start those physical processes of transformation, like detoxes,... Continue reading

Dr Sketchy's

Although I did take Art all the way through secondary school, like everyone else I had my specialisations. Calligraphy. Pottery . Textiles. Lino-cutting. Ok, anything except life-drawing. Naturally that was a compulsive discipline. For our finals, the model happened to... Continue reading

The Making Space

Making at the Making Space. What’ll we do this weekend, we pondered. Shopping? Bit of X-Factor? Mooch to the pub for lunch? Oh come, hardly. No, let’s paint dental alginate on our faces in an east London workshop and then... Continue reading

It’s Bunker Time

Caroline mooted the idea of the Blitz party a couple of weekends ago, and in the spirit of saying yes to everything, I jumped at the chance because it’s one of those things we always miss and then grumble about.... Continue reading

Well certainly back for another blast at any rate! I miss it when I don't blog - it's a discipline that I must reinstate! x

It's about time

That I came back. I'm sorry, I have actually been off having adventures but I either don't bring a camera, so feel like it will bore you all to tears without photos or you know, it was just so long... Continue reading

These are fantastic! Just stumbled into here. Don't be discouraged about the book. In publishing it often happens that when projects get passed on, a 'new' editor isn't as enthusiastic but that's more about being proprietorial and about territory ("It wasn't my idea so I'm not going to stick up for it") It must have commercial legs or it wouldn't have been commissioned originally. Give it some time...

thanks for such good advice. I love sewing and increasingly friends who are getting interested ask for advice - I'm going to direct them here *before* we go machine shopping!

Ok so someone else already mentioned this, http://www.shaukat.co.uk/ or as we know it in London, the Secret Liberty Fabric Shop. A complete Aladdin's Cave with many current and also 'out of print' fabrics. I happen to be going tomorrow!

When I was in NYC last week - on holidays from the UK - I was bemoaning the fact that I couldn't buy your book as I was a few days too early - and then a woman in the shop piped up and said she designed it! What a small world... Huge congrats, I can't wait to get it!

Having seen the top in person, I can confirm it's lovely! Looking forward to hearing more about your stall - I am tempted to try it again myself.

Getting someone (patient) to teach you is the key. I'm now doing three blankets concurrently, one as a gift - bewarned, it's addictive. The gift is using Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora, it's lovely and soft!
