 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:(

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.

 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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

Selfish little old me:) After weeks on end of making and creating for others and the Etsy Shop I have decided to call a halt and just do something for me. By that I mean something for the House. So the thinking Cap went on...what is needed, what could I make and will I enjoy making it? The Master, unwittingly supplied the answer! In the Summer of 2009 I defied the 'Sweater Curse' and knitted two

At the moment everything is just temporary but that does not mean it shouldn't be nice looking. I need comfort around me.

It seems to happen to me a lot lately. I am drawing a blank on what to create or write. Hence the immense silence on this Blog. As you can see it's not that I haven't been creating, I have simply not been very excited about it all. This is my latest listing in my Etsy Shop. A  4 Ewe Rag Garland. I love Rag Swags and I have already planned my next one. This Blog has been rather quiet of late and I

The other day as I was looking for some specific Fabric for the pesky Rabbit I came across these (photo). They are all old stitchery Patterns I had bought years ago at Heath Country Store when it was still in Edwinstowe and mainly dealt with Country Primitives. Well how excited was I? I also came across some Booklets from Twigs N Sprigs. I am amazed that I have been carting these around with me

Soooooo, building work has now resumed and is in full swing again. Which means I will probably not get to  much crafting done but then again.....You see in the photo there is flooring and that flooring is where my Craft cupboard will be!!! I know it is small but there is even better news, if Himself does what he is pondering. He is thinking of moving into there as his office and giving me his

For this Year I did not make any Resolutions, never keep them anyway. But there are a few things I want to learn or at least have one go at to see if I can do it and like it. And working with Wood is one of those things. Now, Himself has all this super Machinery in his 'Man Cave' that I am desperate to have a go at but am a little apprehensive about. So today he taught me the rudiments as it were

There I was at the beginning of last week with all these fancy Ideas about Time management and what happens? Visitors! Not that I don't love having our Friends, or more precisely his Friends around but I would love a little more warning. Wednesday I come out of work have text message saying Friends have arrived unexpected....sigh!! With that the whole week just went puff. And I just never stood a

I just listed 9 Items in my Etsy Shophttp://www.etsy.com/people/SlowLaneMade And all those Items were made after I been going round telling everyone my Crafting Mojo had disappeared. I have been fooling myself there. It never actually went anywhere I was simply lazy. Yep that's it lazy! I didn't want to think of anything to make or even get of my Butt and do it. It all just seemed such a chore.

Christmas Pictures(click link to see a little bit of our Christmas) It may be a very Romantic notion but our House made us proud over Christmas. It is only a small house, the Rooms are not huge and of course we are still renovating(which has stopped for a while due to weather and the Holiday) but it accomodated all our guest happily and comfortably and kept them all warm safe and dry. So yes it

And of course it helps that your Partner is out of the way...lol.

Christmas Crackers That as soon as I go back to work I would fall behind with my Christmas Prep....and I have. I was right on target. I have most Gifts made but not wrapped or labeled. I have started crafting for Christmas but not finished. I have planned for our Christmas Dinner but not shopped for it and so it goes.I just knew it would happen. And I have had no chance to get online properly

Well I moved my Shop anyway. I have moved from Folksy to Etsy. There are some Reasons for this. When I decided to set up a small way of selling some of creations everyone said to go to Etsy. Including folks that have been on there but never sold anything! But I in my wisdom decided to go to Folksy. Support British and much smaller and so on and so forth. I did have some sales on there but I am

...Time spend with my Daughter and finding that special something. My Daughter came down to Lincolnshire for 2 Days. Since I moved from Yorkshire to down here I of course don't see much of her and when I do it makes it super special. She only came from Sunday till today but it was okay. We went and did a spot of Christmas shopping on Monday and than today we dropped her of at the train Station

Shopping, over the Years I have come to dislike it. I don't like trawling through the busy Shops or dealing with unfriendly and sometimes useless Shop assistance or trying to find the one Item that I love and would love to spend my Money on. Quiet Ironic really since I am a Shop assistant myself! What I do like is 'window shopping' online. I also like to find new shops and have some Favorites.

It seems I cannot stop being creative. I have even stopped knitting for a bit but not altogether! I have been thinking of downsizing on that a little. I have found that my Repetitive Strain gets worse when I knit so I been resting with that. However I just can't stop crafting altogether...I would just go mad!!! Besides I DO want to update my Folksy Shop. Although sales are slow, more like non

I tend to hide away and everything that used to bring me joy and make me smile tends to be forgotten but I am coming out of it:) However I have not been Idle.

This is a little Thank you gift I made for my Friend Sunny. We have known each other a long time, along with some other very special people. Over the last few weeks Sunny and me have been talking about, in a fashion, Photoshop. I like it very much and would like to learn more about it. She is already way ahead!!! But Sunny shared some links with me, which I followed. And so I am learning....

When the Time comes, some point next Year, we shall take it out again to redo the Day Room as I have come to call it...lol. It does sound so much better that Kitchen/ Diner. But I am telling you the Stove does ain't half give of some Heat. When we tested it

Things are really moving along with the Loft conversion. Even I can help there now. Now that the new Stairs are in I can go up there myself and really help out. Those of my regular readers, that also follow me on Twitter will know about their arrival already. I was lucky to have reason to be out when they moved the Stairs in!!! It seems that the Stairs did fight back but in the end the Workmen

Yesterday I think was the worst day as far as inconvenience and mess goes, The Joiner cut for the second Floor Stairs!!! Oh I cannot describe the state the hallway and upstairs was in, Rubble and plaster and dust everywhere. But the new Stairs are arriving on Monday and once they are in most

That's right, this is a picture less Post!! Mainly because there is not much going on here. I  have been crafting while Himself has been away in Germany having fun. And the re-do is coming along. Not as fast as the cold weather thought. You can really feel the chill in the Air. Not long till we get the new Stove at least than one room will be toasty.

We have finally found a Gas Stove we both like and that will be here beginning of October. Okay a slight delay to what we had hoped but at least it will be here. And look at the Picture!

Well, I don't normally do anything for Charity. Sure I shop in Charity shops, I sponsor others that do stuff for charity or I even give clothing and things but I never actually DO anything myself, until now. This Year I joined the 'Big Knit'.

I been knitting,sewing,spinning and painting all of the last week and this and I think my one usable Braincell needs a rest from all this Imagination...lol. The Chest of Draws is done!!! I had all these Ideas of things I was going to do to it. Decoupage, stenciling, distressing or even all 3 combined, in the end I did...nothing. I simply painted it

Ever since we returned from Germany at the beginning of the Month, all we seem to have done and talked about id the Loft conversion and the re doing of the House. We talk about it, we think about it, we shop for it...sooner or later something had to give. And yesterday was that day. It was unanimously decided that yesterday was going to be a break from it all. Just himself and me doing something

I certainly need one!! It has been a manic week and I am glad it is over...at least for the weekend. We have accomplished much,not enough for my liking but we get there. I did manage to do some crafting in all the mayhem so I am happy. I long for the Day's that were peacefull and to some extend even boring. It all seems so much all at once, even though it isn't really. There always seem to be

And I am also fidgety. Nothing seems to be right or interesting or anything:( Don't know what that is all about. Well I can take an uneducated guess!!! I just want to be creative and do thinks that I think of, as soon as I think of them!! But alas that is not to be. Instead I have to think and then think again if I have the materials and then think if I have the Time and so on and so forth. But

Well, I have returned from a fab short Holiday in Germany. It was to short but better than no Holiday at all.As always we stayed with Brendan at Sliders Guest House. It is not to near the North Loop of the Nuerburgring but near enough! This Time was a bit special for me as well. Normally I tend to get a little bored after a few days,just as the boredom was setting in we went to the Ring. I was

Okay, so I know it's Monday already but still I had a good weekend. After all the Drilling Hammering and moving stuff to and fro it was nice to have a peaceful normal weekend. On Saturday OH was at work all day and the House guest were out....I was alone:) And what does that mean? Well Crafting time on a Saturday of course!! I finished Painting the Garage Doors....and very smart they look now,

As the saying goes. Today, being my Birthday, we took delivery of my Birthday present and very special it is too. Go here and check out what I choose, scroll down to see the amazing high level Toilet! And here are some before pictures as well. Can't show the after pictures till next week.

I know I do!!! Specially when it is something I want to do or learn....remember the weaving???? Now I do not advocate obsession...it isn't healthy...but sometimes...just occasionally it can lead somewhere. In this case to a totally, to me, acceptable Quilt. I did mention in my last post that I purchased a little something that may well help me with this desire to quilt. So I bought a small Rotary

Not a bad way to spend the Day by any means. I made another Jar of Jam. On the recommendations of Suse I went for Kiwi. Now I don't understand why the Jam turns out so runny??? The Gooseberry one did the same, they taste perfect they are just runny??!! I don't know what I am doing wrong....not enough Sugar,Pectin or not cut small enough? I don't know. But I figure as long as it is tasty it's okay

Since I moved in here I have had this continuous urge to craft and make/alter things. It may well be that I am currently Jobless and am trying to fill my Day's with something or maybe I am just trying to make this House my Home...who knows??!! But I always feel the need to make and alter things, to be creative in some form. Today was no different, today was the turn of his Pin board!! It has been

We are not talking the Musical variety!!! No we are talking fruit!! I have been meaning to make some Jam for the longest Time. I have never made Jam...ever!!! I watched my Mum make it a gazillion Times, I have eaten home made jam probably the same amount of times but made it myself...no never!! Well, today was the Day. Ever since I found out it could be made in the Bread maker I have been tempted

Strawberry Fields are not, well not according to me anyway. After the encouraging words in the comment section of the last Post, I decided to go ahead and finish it. First I had to wait till I knew David was up in Florida. I needed to ask him if I could use the old Quilt Covers. It was okay. So then, in order to prepare myself for the mammoth task of backing that huge quilt I decided to make a

Will you look at this? I mean we all know that at times we hide stuff away but for Years?? I started this many Years ago at a much happier time during my Marriage. I thought that Quilting was something I wanted to do seriously. So I made this Quilt top. Strawberry Fields. All nicely laid out and sewn together, then I put it aside just waiting for the Wadding and Backing Fabric...which never even

I mean, if you wondered down the High Street and kept saying 'I don't know what to do' or things along those lines, someone soon enough will come along and have you sectioned!

I think I have hit a Wall....metaphorically speaking! After a few weeks of almost frenzied activity's I find myself at a loss as to what to do!!! Dare I say it I am almost bored!! I am never bored, I always have things to do. And I still have a list as long as my Arm that need to be done but somehow I can't get myself moved to do any of them. I am talking about from the downright mundane all the

Finally!! After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing a little bit of calm. We now have all my Furniture from Yorkshire moved here, some of it had to go into storage for now but most of it is in the House. I still have boxes to empty but there is just not enough room right now, so I be doing those bit by bit while OH is in the States.

I am here!! I finally moved in yesterday.....Yay me. No more weekend runs of 95 Miles in the middle of the Night. At one point I actually thought this day would never arrive. But now here it is and here I am...and I am Happy:) Still have things to do...still need to get my Furniture.

Yep! I don't know where last week went. On Monday I set of back up to Yorkshire, dreading the working week ahead. But it came and went and I hardly noticed! Very unusual for me. I have been very busy thought! Packing Boxes till I am drowning in them and starting and frogging various projects. Now I am back in Lincoln and it is the first time this week that I feel drained. I can finally chill out,
