A friend and I made this quilt for a charity we both support - MUMs. Then there was this quilt for a friend's grandchild:. And this one for a nephew's wedding:. But I came up wi...

What I get up to while my children nap. Tuesday, 19 July 2011. My little girl loves to dance. She always has: her earliest nursery reports were of her bopping away to the music and clapping her hands. Now, at almost 18 months, she will happily dance on command or whenever she hears music. She twirls, spins, bounces, occasionally jumps, and is just the happiest wee creature you've ever seen. Of Scottish vernacular, which define "dancer" as a ". Start to finish, this project took me exactly one hour. A sma...

Sew Bored: April 2012
http://sewbored.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
What I get up to while my children nap. Tuesday, 17 April 2012. In the last few weeks, a couple of friends have asked me about making their first quilt. Is it complicated? Is it going to be too advanced for their sewing? And how long will it take? This is a quilt I made from a single piece of flannel with appliqued flowers and birds. Didn't take too long to make, although (as with most quilts) the most time consuming part was the cutting out. The principles of this ' quilt in an hour. I recently saw a qu...

Owing something, such as gratitude, to another; indebted; Beholder: To perceive by the visual faculty; see; To perceive through use of the mental faculty; comprehend; To look upon; gaze at. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. So what is a wife of only 7 weeks to do? Why, open her presents in her wedding dress, of course. A great few days with my family, with gorgeous food (not going to be getting back into that frock for a little while yet) and incredibly beautiful presents. Aren't I a lucky girl indeed?

What I get up to while my children nap. Monday, 16 May 2011. Seven of you answered the poll on the website and said that you wanted to know how to make toddler trousers - here you go!

Family news askew style. Things are coming along nicely. It did take us 3 attempts to get Callum an apple juice in a cafe though – one time the waiter came out very proudly with this beautifully presented cut-up apple! Poor Callum was nearly in tears though! We managed to get there in the end – phew! This slideshow requires JavaScript. On our return we spent a couple of days with my parents in Surrey (fitting in a B&H trip to a Lamb gig at Somerset House in London – splendid! July 27, 2011 at 5:33 pm.

erm...: home alone
http://helenaskew.blogspot.com/2008/07/home-alone.html
Another sporadic post from me.hey ho! I am home alone today as Ben flew off to Peru this morning with a bunch of young adults from our church. He'll be gone for 11 days which is the longest we've been apart since being married. I know some people do it quite regularly but today I have found it HARD! I expected to just carry on as usual with the things I had planned, and expected to miss him more as the week goes by, but no! And obviously I've got to look after Callum on my own. All is not gloom and doom ...
