I’m excited to have just finished my latest crochet project, but as it isn’t blocked yet the pattern will have to wait until next time. You’ll have to make do with the Instagram teasers for now! In the meantime, I’ve been continuing sewing with this midi circle skirt that isn’t quite a circle skirt. I…
You may have noticed that I don’t tend to make a lot of toys. I think it’s mostly because I quite like to get on with a pattern without constantly checking how each row needs to be worked. However, this little elephant kept catching my eye on Ravelry and Pinterest, and I thought he’d make…

Last week one of my best friends came to visit. My poor husband had 4 days of not being able to get a word in edgeways! We had a lovely day on Thursday browsing round Manchester’s Northern Quarter and grabbing some lunch in Piccadilly Garden’s. We also visited one of my favourite fabric and craft…
I actually made this a while ago, but I’ve had to wait for a gap in the rain to get some photos before I could post it! I bought this sarong while on holiday and I really love the colours and geometric print. It’s actually pomegranates with a border around. I wanted to wear it…
