....hello, I know I've been a terrible, terrible, blogger of late. Life generally seems rather fast paced and very very full at the moment. Which is good, don't get me wrong but does mean I have very little time for blogging and the like. However I just wanted to pop in to let you know about a little giveaway. The lovely Carmen of whoopidooings (she made this fabulous bracelet with my ninja beads last year, remember?) got in touch to ask if I could make a loveheart ninja complete with a hole in his bottom! Well of course I obliged... Continue reading

...these wedding cake toppers have been super popular the last couple of months! I have made so many little sets of custom couples, it's such a lovely thing to make, I can't wait to see pictures of them in situ in the months to come. Continue reading

...I have been a fairly absent blogger, but I most certainly have not been an absent gardener the last couple of months.

my newest short sleeved sweater is finished! It still needs blocking (which I'm really hoping will give it a bit more length as it's a teeny bit short) but otherwise it's all finished and I'm quite in love with it. I made a few silly mistakes with the fair isle... Continue reading

I received an email from Kate at M is for make this morning, inviting me to take part in this... As I am a complete novice, I'm thinking this will probably be a fantastic opportunity to get a bit of help from some more experienced sewers along the way! Plus... Continue reading
