I had some lovely leftover fleece from making one of my niece’s a leopard print cape last Christmas, so I decided to use it to make some lavender wheat warmers for myself and others. I find wheat warmers are really useful when you feel a bit sore or stiff and I had been using a […]

Recently, my mum got into making her own dishcloths to be a bit more sustainable. Also, they’re great for using up scraps of fabric you have left from other projects! This dishcloth is simple to make. It uses a bit of hessian (burlap) for one side for when you need a more abrasive side which […]

I haven’t sewn a lot recently but this project had been on my mind for about a year, and I finally made it happen recently! I expect it was inspired by all the outdoor catch ups during the pandemic. However, I thought it’s still a useful item to make for yourself or a great and […]

Recently, I moved into a new flat. It has meant that I’ve got a pile of picture frames waiting to be put somewhere on the wall. This weekend, I started resolving this. Here’s a few points I have learned from this experience. When I lived in rented flats, I would just hammer in picture hooks […]

Meet my most recent random purchase! To be honest, I’ve been keeping a lookout for a spinning wheel for well over a year, but as I’ve never used one, didn’t want to cough up too much money on a brand new one. I got this spinning wheel from a local charity shop. It needed a […]

Many people find it hard to listen to themselves on a recording and I definitely fit into that category! Unfortunately, I was never any good at acting at school, and even when I worked in a call centre, my supervisor used to mark my calls down for being flat! It used to be awful listening […]

I’m still struggling to unwind from the day’s activities, I know I have day-to-day tasks in the periphery of my mind, calling for my attention, and my energy levels are usually right down. My initial thoughts are to resist the chores, eventually […]
