Just over 18 months ago we moved to living in the middle of a small market town. Today I looked out for the front window and saw 4 old cars turning into the carpark so I went to investigate. I found over 100 old cars taking part in a (highly organised)
A little boy I made a taggy blanket for last year lost it :( so his mum asked me would I make a replacement. I am unable to buy soft fleece (cuddle fleece) in one colour at the moment but had this instead. The lad has enjoyed feeling all the different t
APOLOGIES from Airyfairy but she has had huge problems this evening posting the birthday greetings for 1 March. There were the usual beautiful pictures but they have vanished on her computer and mine as well, so apologies if you have no pictures for the
A few weeks ago I wrote that I had met someone who has a top of the range Janome still in its box. Today I had a short chat to her. The machine is out of its box and has been for quite a while. Time is currently not on her side to spend ages getting to
A friend wanted two facecloths as a present for a little girl. Today has been a sewing day so she will get them back tomorrow. Sometimes it must appear that I only embroider on facecloths and make taggy blankets. I do other things sometimes. The font

This is the first piece of sewing/work produced in my new sewing room. I have done this as a brief diversion of trying to fit all my stuff into the new room. I have always loved the designs by Liberty of London. This piece is furnishing cotton and was
Last week I discovered that someone I know has a embroidery machine. The top of the range Janome to be precise. I was a little amazed to hear this news but was left speechless when I was told that she has had the machine for a few months or so and its s
While slowly getting all my sewing stuff into my new room I keep finding bits and pieces that I haven't seen in ages. This is one of them. Every now and then someone asks about who helped them start to sew when they were young. One of my childhood mem
A new year a new start? Anyone got any resolutions that are sewing based for 2017? I am seeing how long I can not buy fabric for. I try this each year and the longest I have kept to my resolution is till early April. Maybe I need to embroider something
After a very long wait the sewing room in our new house is READY. Exciting as the eldest grandchild used to say. Picture 1 shows my other half making some minor adjustment to my PR machine that has just been moved in. Picture 2 shows it in place. It h
Well after moving in to our new home in July last year we have just moved my Brother PR machine in to its new home. It very neatly blocked access up to the top floor and I have gained a selection of bruises as a result of hitting the table it sits on, wi
