How to make a Felted Kindle Bag

February 27, 2011 by

This was my first go at felting a knitted item and it has turned out so amazingly well that I thought I had better write down what I did or I’ll forget how I did it. I love the finished item so much that I am pretty sure I’ll be making more of them (stand […]

Fran & Merry on Etsy

February 27, 2011 by

I promised I would help Fran set up a small business of her own; she gets a bit frustrated at feeling she is the least artistic of her sisters and friends but she has discovered she can make pretty bracelets. She and I have worked together on a bundle of them and she’s really tried […]

That one last get out.

February 26, 2011 by

Thanks to the arrival, today, of my period, I have passed a milestone, the bitterest yet. I have to sit out next month in this grim and vile trying to conceive malarkey and so I can no longer be pregnant by Freddie’s first birthday. I can no longer have a rainbow baby in 2011. Anything […]

Books for Kids (2)

February 21, 2011 by

One of the best things about the ‘random post’ widget at the bottom of each blog post is that I’m getting to revisit old blog posts that I never read any more. I’ve forgotten so many of them; there was a time, when the blog was only a few years old, when I still pretty […]
