Spring Projects

Things are looking very spring-like around here now. We have apple blossom…

And forget-me-nots…

And the drifts of bluebells in our copse are just coming into flower…

All of which has prompted me into doing some gardening. I’m a somewhat intermittant gardener, only taking action when I’m feeling thoroughly enthused about it, or when I can’t [...]

Long time no post

Eek, it’s been a while since I last posted here! Did you miss me?!

As you can see, there were lambs involved.

It seems like [...]

Spindle Competition

As a (belated) celebration of the launch of my new blog, I’m holding a competition. All you have to do is leave me a comment suggesting something that could be included in one of my resin spindles. It could be anything, from flowers, to insects, sweet wrappers to wristwatch parts, anything! The [...]

Welcome, grab a cuppa, take a seat!

So, here I am with a blog on my very own web site, I feel all grown up. If you’ve come here from my old blog, thanks for coming over, and if you’re new, welcome!  This blog will be pretty similar to the old one, with the same crafty goodies, lots of yummy fibre [...]
