Miss Magpie: July 2012
http://missmagpiemakes.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Stitching and crafting by the sea. Monday, 30 July 2012. A Quilt for Sophia. Some of you may remember me starting to knit a baby cardigan back in February (see here. The project was prompted by one of my best friends announcing her second pregnancy. The cardigan is, surprise surprise still incomplete and the news at the end of June that the baby born to my friend is a gorgeous little girl didn't give me the required impetus to complete the job. After tackling those on the teddy bear sleeping bags. I didn...

Miss Magpie: April 2014
http://missmagpiemakes.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Stitching and crafting by the sea. Saturday, 19 April 2014. By Hand London Anna Dress for Dolly Clackett. Firstly I must apologise for my very long absence from blogging, for which I have no real reason. I have been making as much stuff as ever, but I just haven't felt the need to document it. The reason for today's post is a dress which I felt compelled to create because of another blogger. Who is getting married in May this year and in whose honour a sew-along. I french-seamed the bodice sides initiall...

Miss Magpie: June 2012

Stitching and crafting by the sea. Monday, 25 June 2012. Ripple Baby Blanket - Finished! I'm a little bit late with this post, I actually finished this blanket over a week ago, but what with all the festival prep I hadn't managed to take any pictures. You might remember me starting this blanket (click here. This time around I didn't knot the ends as I changed colours; I tied them loosely until I came to weave them in and then just made sure I wove the ends in under the crochet loops, being sure to change...

Miss Magpie: Troubles
http://missmagpiemakes.blogspot.com/2013/01/troubles.html
Stitching and crafting by the sea. Monday, 14 January 2013. I know it's been far too long since I last posted but I seem to be having a problem with blogger that has persisted for a few weeks now and I am at a bit of a loss as to how to fix it. When I am trying to add photos to a post, I click the picture icon but the 'browse files' button fails to appear as it used to and I can't work out how to get it back. Is anyone else having this problem? I've got loads to show you but I don't know how! After much ...

Miss Magpie: August 2012
http://missmagpiemakes.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Stitching and crafting by the sea. Friday, 31 August 2012. A Busy Summer Nearly Over. Firstly, please let me apologise for the lengthy gap in posts this time; we had a very busy week with the Magpie cousins and then this week I have been trying to catch up on boring things like house work and getting the children ready to go back to school. Into this. In just under an hour! Happily, the outdoor knitting time I have been enjoying has seen the completion of Hitchhiker #2. I only just managed 42 teeth on th...

http://missmagpiemakes.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Stitching and crafting by the sea. Friday, 7 December 2012. Please can there be more days in December? I'm still in denial about Christmas (shhh! Here at Magpie Towers. My daughter is turning 16 next week and I'm desperately trying to get her something made that I can give her on the day, I've always been adamant that her day shouldn't coincide with the other one that happens on the 25th. Anyway, back to the sewing machine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My Hitchhiker Hitched a Ride.

Miss Magpie: January 2012

Stitching and crafting by the sea. Thursday, 26 January 2012. Vintage Knitting and Crochet Patterns. Although my knitting repertoire is pretty limited, I do have a growing collection of patterns (I've only just discovered the online sources such as Ravelry). A few years ago, I realised that charity shops are an excellent source of needles and patterns, although you do have to ask about needles because they seem to be an 'under the counter' item! Thanks for stopping by,. Thursday, 19 January 2012. Was a s...

Miss Magpie: Granny Stripe Blanket.....Done!

Stitching and crafting by the sea. Monday, 3 June 2013. Granny Stripe Blanket.Done! I know I said I wouldn't be blogging so frequently any more, but I didn't really expect to be absent for quite so long. My apologies and grateful thanks to anybody visiting. Things have been busy as usual over at Magpie Towers and although there have been bits and bobs of crafting going on, not many of them have made it to the finish as yet. The only trouble is, there have also been a few tussles over who will get to snug...

Miss Magpie: November 2012

Stitching and crafting by the sea. Thursday, 22 November 2012. In Which I Actually Make Something. Secondly, thank you for all your kind words regarding the burglary. Unfortunately, the police haven't managed to recover any of our possessions and as predicted, the insurance company is so far refusing to cough up; they don't know yet what a determined little beast I can be when I put my mind to something so I am hopeful that we may get some good news yet. I haven't blocked this monster yet; I need to get ...
