Fabric Cupcakes

I love it when I get a really creative idea that just works out and looks cute. During a recent craft party I realized that I have stacks of New Zealand and Bali batik fabric leftover from projects. Most of the pieces are fat 1/4 and fat 1/8, not really enough left for more than … Continue reading Fabric Cupcakes
The One Where Hard Things Were Made Simple

Last week I had been thinking about the post I was going to do about the zig zag quilt. I told myself 'Don't worry, you have plenty of time. You don't have to write it until Monday.' It wasn't until the end of the week that I realised that hey! It had been Monday! So if you're … Continue reading The One Where Hard Things Were Made Simple

The One Where I Felt Brilliant… Until I Didn’t

We were away for the weekend, and Tootsie and I were separated for FOUR WHOLE DAYS … Continue reading The One Where There Was Khaki Green
The One With All The Feelings

Tootiphelia and I have had a bit of an on-off relationship recently. It's sad. It really is. We used to have such great times together, just hanging together, but recently I just haven't had the time to devote to her. Tootsie was, well, she's just great and it wasn't her, it was me. So when … Continue reading The One With All The Feelings

I have genuinely been busy, but before I tell you what I've been doing, let me tell … Continue reading The One Where Great Things Happen
The One Where I Obsess About Things Part 2

There is this ball of yarn that has been teasing me for months. It'd been sitting there at the craft shop pretending to be all innocent whilst beguiling me with it's pretty colours. But be proud of me, dear reader, because I resisted the urge to get it until I had a definite idea of … Continue reading The One Where I Obsess About Things Part 2
The One Where I Ruminate On The Mysteries Of Time

Isn't time a funny thing? One of my jobs is part time, so I often have an entire morning stretching in front of me before I have to trundle off to work. A whole 4 hours to do with what I wish. Sometimes I make good use of the time, sometimes all I manage to … Continue reading The One Where I Ruminate On The Mysteries Of Time
