    This weekend I have been working on making some heat pads. I have tried these out for myself before making some and I have found that they are really, really good! So, I set to work with some small pieces of scrap fabric. I soon had four made up and had a look for moreContinue reading “Heat pads?”

    Hi all, I have been working hard behind the scene to complete something that I have started! I have quite a few on the go and I really do need to stop my head from turning into a crazy mad woman haha. I seem to have many great ideas and need to focus on justContinue reading “Update on what I’m making”

  • Being social media active!
    Wow!! I really do need to keep a check on how many times I do not make any updates! It is really hard to keep a check on things sometimes, especially if, like me, you are creating new products along with running a home. Unfortunately, I am taking my husband to the hospital every fortnightContinue reading “Being social media active!”
  • Land prices!
    How can buying a piece of land be so expensive? This is just so silly! I’ve wanted to have my own piece of land since I was a young child. I always thought my grandfather would leave me some in his will, but that never happened! So I thought I’d look for land myself. LookingContinue reading “Land prices!”
  • Handkerchiefs
    Hankies used to be deemed as very unhygienic. I agree with this to a certain extent, but if you look at it in a different way then you will see what I mean! So, you have a runny nose and go for the tissues. But when you have used those tissues, where do they go?Continue reading “Handkerchiefs”
  • Buy me a coffee!
    Hi All, I thought I’d tell you about a new little thing I’ve set up, “Buy me a coffee” page!

    Well I’ve just finished another sock. As always, I am very pleased and happy with the outcome. It’s a sense of achievement, a pure happiness that I’ve created this masterpiece! It’s a delight to see. Very soon, I will be writing this pattern up and advertising it on my website. I mean, just look atContinue reading “Sock Happy”
  • Dish cloths
    At the moment, I have a liking for knitting dish cloths! I have no idea why, I just do! In my lys I’ve seen many different colours of cotton yarn that have made me go bananas for them! I love all the different colours so I’m making different patterns with them to make colourful dishContinue reading “Dish cloths”
  • Footy day crochet
    Well, today we’re off to see Grimsby Town v Doncaster Rovers and we’re not really looking to see the Marriners win today! Over the last couple of months the boys have not performed that well for the fans. In fact, they’ve not really played well for the league! Today for me supporting my husband IContinue reading “Footy day crochet”
