 One week from now I will be taking part in a local Craft Fair so I have been making bits and pieces for that and  labeling and sprucing things up and printing and so on and so on. And in between all that I have also been knitting Christmas Presents for everyone. I had given myself till today to complete everything except any printing work and I have done all of that. But now I feel deflated:(

At the beginning of the Year, February, I went to one of their meetings weighing 11stone 11.5 pound. Now,....today....right here and now and weigh 10 Stone. I am 5ft 4".

My slovenly ways with Blogging for starters!!! Or my love for Yarn!! A couple of weeks ago I went up to Yorkshire again:) as it was the Masham Sheep fair. I was very determined not to spend any Money on Yarn....but....I saw..... I felt... I bought!!! Resistance really was futile, all my good Intentions went straight out the Window. But PM Woolcraft were there, as I knew they would be. They are

Checking out Ravelry Hexypuffed to be precise. Like many knitters and as a Member of Ravelry I have come accross The Beekeepers Quilt all over the net. I have managed to avoid it pretty well. Yes sure i liked the look and sure I have a gazillion Yards of yarn I could use but no way do I want to bother. WRONG!!!!! I bothered. They are like a little FO in their own right. And with my Tennis

 I have seen and read about PIF's (Pay it forward) all over Blog land over the Years. I have never taken part in one. I don't really know why but I just haven't...until recently.  Back in June my Friend Terry of Terry's Treasures posted about a PIF she has taken part in. Of Course a PIF means if your are choosen then you have to promise to send something on to another person. I promised that I

So, I have been back from my Holiday for a week now and still not posted anything about it, Tsk Tsk Tsk. My intention was for me to randomly post photo's via my Phone whilst out there but it turns out that my contract provider charges extra for that service. Not that that is the problem, the problem is that I would have to pay in advance!! So my stubborness kicked in and therefore no photos...or

Okay so the title leaves a lot to be desired but that is what it's been like. I been working with nothing but Scarps. Scarps of Fabric, Scraps of Fiber, Scraps of Yarn. And all because I am in a panic about filling my Part of a 12Ft Table at the Bedale Bank Holiday Gala on the 29th of August. I apologize for the rubbish pictures but it is late and the light is rubbish.(All pictures are click-able

 This weekend was wonderful. My lovely Daughter and her Partner came to stay with us. Since I moved away from Yorkshire I don't see enough of her, at least that is what it feels like. Friday night was just a stay in and catch up night. But on Saturday we all went to Belton House. It is a wonderful grand old house with some interesting history. There was so much to see it took all day.

 First of all let me say a H-U-G-E thank you to everyone that commented on my last entry. I had a great Birthday, We had Cake we had Steak Dinner we simply spend a lovely time together. successful dye jobby I do anyway. It has only been a Year since I last did a proper dye job with some roving. But since I have decided to do some Needle felted Brooches I thought I might update the colours I

..and I cry if I want to!!! Well that is almost the truth. Today I am half a century old, I am 50...there I said it. I don't feel old (only a little bit) I am where I am and I am darn proud of it. It has been a horrendous week emotionally. Normally I manage and live with my Depression pretty well, to the point that I can even hide it from others...not so this week. And yesterday it all just got

In the absence of any real creativity on my Part, I thought I share something else I have done since my last Post. Shortly after publishing that last Post it a bout of boredom hit and I wondered what to do. I turned to Pinterest for inspiration. When I first joined up there I came across a picture where someone had re done their Office chair. So I pinned it and forgot about it!!! As I was surfing

That is what I had today.  Now to me a creative doing day isn't necessarily about creating new. To me it is about the little jobs that we start and always seem to push aside because there is always something bigger/better to create or a new project to start. Well not today......   Today I re-potted the Aloe into it's rightful HomeA chamber Pot! Today I prettied up the old Aloe Pot

For Years, in fact more or less since I learned Crochet I have said I hate it. I hate everything about it I hate doing it ,I hate the look of it I Hate Hate Hate it!!! And now I have to make a public apology to all things Crochet and eat those words, Big Time!!! You see I have fallen in love with it and much to my shame also fallen in love with 100% Acrylic!!! It started so small and simple as

First the movement bit....when I did my last post I was under the impression we would have to wait at least another week before we could move into the Loft!!! Apparently I was alone with that impression. The Master came home that night (Wednesday) and kindly informed me that we

Today I have a little more Time and I thought I show you a few pictures of what has been keeping me occupied to the Point where I could not create as much as I want to. I did finally manage an update to my Etsy Store and you can read about that here(Shop Blog) but I want to show you something......Follow me into the Loft please.... When we started about a Year ago.

   Clickable  Yes, it is no spelling mistake, I have hooked a Granny!!! A granny square to be precise, a huge one. I have always known how to crochet, I just don't like it. Until I started reading Dottie Angel's Blog and seen more of her Granny Chic. I had to have a go. Now someone mentioned to me before to try and do granny squares because of my elbow. But me being me just figured it would be

I don't do pretty...never have done. But it seems I have gotten the pretty frilly frou frou bug!!! Sure I am a girl and I like pretty but not the type I am talking about here. I am talking the whole roses pink and white shabby chic cottage chic style stuff. How did that happen and how did that sneak under my 'WHOA! Lets keep away from that stuff' Radar????? Think I may have to blame Pinterest.
