Making something grow

April 19, 2011 by

Thanks to my many lovely friends, the garden is still looking beautiful; daffs are hanging on, tulips blooming, one magnolia is still making new blooms and the other is about to burst open. Not bad for an iPhone. It’s worth a thank you. I didn’t want to garden last year, but being sent trees and […]

Moondial Day

April 9, 2011 by

These are a few of my favourite things. We had a family day out to Belton House, home of the Moondial. We’ve got a lot of fond memories of being there, it’s one of our haunts (and was even one of mine, as I had a school trip there once when I was about 9), […]

Hama Bead Hot Air Balloon Picture

April 8, 2011 by

I made this last Summer on 4 square pegboards. It was pleasant to make something big, that required a certain amount of concentration. I enjoyed doing it. I’ve finally got round to putting the pattern together into the bead designer; I’m putting them up on BeadMerrily, my Hama Bead Ideas website connected to CraftMerrily, our […]

Of course…

March 27, 2011 by

The good thing about days when there isn’t a social media site in my repertoire of places to lurk that isn’t filled with birth announcements, references to babies or pictures of them, is that I can shut them all, talk to my children, do things, make things, knit, read, catch up on housework, do my […]

Friday Blog Hop – Happy

March 25, 2011 by

These days, when I look in my girls eyes, I can see many things. I can see that they’ve been sad, terribly, terribly sad and that it will be with them forever. But I also see girls who know how to be happy; every day I see them take a deep breath, shake themselves and […]

Dragons for Sale

March 21, 2011 by

I’ve spent a bit of time updating the Etsy shop. I’ve also created a page here where you can find what we currently have for sale under the MadeMerrily craft name, which Fran and I use. There are dragons.… (Felix is probably my best yet, I’m not sure his photo does him justice). And the […]

The End of All Things

March 17, 2011 by

The one that starts with things endings and ends with things beginning and covers up an awful lot of wondering “how could you?” It has been a horrible week; I’ve cried harder this week than I have all year, mostly bout things I can’t write and partly because anything stressful turns into more tears about […]

There be Dragons.

March 14, 2011 by

Here is a better set of pictures of my dragons. They were my first 6, so hopefully I’ll get better at them but I had such a lot of fun making them. I love whimsical fimo modelling, there is so much less worry about them looking absolutely right and perfect. This little bunch of fellas […]
