End of summer

It’s decidedly autumnal here now. It’s probably the last time I buy berries for the season, but they were delicious with the pavlova I made at the weekend.

Sleeve pants

Kid’s clothes week challenge Re-fashioned adult t-shirt into toddler pants All in all, it’s a fairly rubbish effort for a clothing challenge, but I’ve not sewn for ages and I now recall my machine is in desperate need of a service. The bobbin tension is off and it’s not sewing that well. At any rate.… Continue reading →

Hmmm, it’s been some time since I’ve posted. For many reasons I’ve not wanted to post here and for others, I’ve been far too busy. I’ve been busy producing this little man, who is almost a year old now. Baby pebble Ravelry This was very useful initially but only fit for about 3 weeks.

Her brilliant cake was designed and made by Clare at Crouch End Cakes. Our little miss is bonkers about butterflies, snails and ladybirds and this is just what she wanted. The look on her face when she saw it was priceless. AND it was as beautiful to eat, so delicious, which made my day so… Continue reading →
