In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! The skirt is finished! And teacosies rule…. July 2, 2016. July 2, 2016. So finally the skirt is finished! The last bit took ages because the craftsy course suggested I stitch the waistband and hem on the machine, but I didn’t want a visible line so I hand stitched it all invisibly. I think it was worth it. Actually it was quite therapeutic. Here is the finished item…. Here are the three I’ve managed to get on:. You are comment...

In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! June 5, 2016. June 5, 2016. So I’m nearly finished with the skirt! I’ve learnt a lot. First of all about pattern matching! Cut out my two sides…. Put them together then realised instead of overlaying them the same way to cut them…. I should have turned one over! Result…. Fail on the seam…. So never mind, side seam, I think I’ll get away with it…. A bit! How did I manage that? Thank god for stitch unpickers! On When Dogs Attack.

In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! July 13, 2016. July 13, 2016. And so I am slowly trying to perfect the art of teacup candles. I’ve made a few now. I picked up…. Wait for it…. Over 60 teacups at an auction for 20 (as well as 3 teapots, numerous plates, many bits of Wedgwood and untold other bits and pieces which I am slowly trying to offload! If you’ve not made candles before, here’s how. A little bit of colouring goes a very long way btw. Only fill three qua...

In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! July 10, 2016. So Elvis has had a little elbow op. He’s been on minimal walks for weeks- five minutes per day. He’s terrible bored. He’s laying around looking very sorry for himself. In between that he is begging for food with even more vigour than usual. He’s got a new pastime of looking out of the living room window in a kind of ‘help me I’m a prisoner’ kind of way. The skirt is finished! And teacosies rule…. Create a free w...

Other projects I have on the go; a small selection…. Blue and white granny squares for a cushion for our spare room. Great for using up all my scraps of blue wool. Seem to have loads! My name i...

In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! July 25, 2016. So, thanks to Groupon, I have discovered a little (well quite big) gem, only 30 mins from my house- the Yorkshire Arboretum. It’s basically at Castle Howard for anyone semi local. It’s absolutely beautiful. We took Elvis but could not explore all of it due to his gammy leg as it is a huge 120 acres! I also enjoyed some of the lovely flowers…. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

In search of the crafting life, in York, the most beautiful city in the world! The a-line maxi begins! May 29, 2016. May 29, 2016. So my new project in this cloudy bank holiday- an a line skirt- pattern drawn from scratch! This is an online craftsy course I am doing and it is actually great. So I had to buy a few things. I learnt what a French curve is this week (an implement rather than a physical aspiration! Some bog-standard copy paper is doing a stirling job standing in! The mermaid is complete.
