One of my daughters is expecting her first baby ( a boy) in a few weeks time. I have been busy knitting her a pram cover which I thought I’d share with you. She particularly likes spotty patterns and  we were able to find a suitable pattern for her. Then there is the dilemma, regularContinue reading “Pram Covers”

Several years ago I made necklaces and bracelets from beads. I have a fair collection of beads (that is, I have a lot!)  and am trying to sell some of them to lighten the load on my attic floor. However, a friend of mine made some bead spiders and so I had to have a go. MyContinue reading “Beading Projects”

I’ve just dispatched a lovely teal ad soft green sling cover, the colours go together really well I’m planning on making extension pieces so that the covers kee pace with your baby’s growth. I also knit baby cardigans so am going to knit a few designs and put them up for sale. That goes forContinue reading “More about Baby Sling Covers”

So, today is Pancake Day. Great, I love pancakes, dripping with orange juice and sprinkled with sugar,mmmmmmm. However, as I’m on a diet – trying to get to see the number 9 on the scales (!) I’m not making any. My husband asked for pancakes but he’s also on a diet and when I saidContinue reading “Pancake Day”

My knitting fingers have been very busy. Not only Baby sling covers but bobble hats as well. My husband plays tennis and often wears a bobble hat (it’s cold playing in winter). One of his co-players admired the hat and the rest is history! So, for the price of a ball of double knitting andContinue reading “Knitting update”

As I have mentioned before my daughter recently had a baby. Since then there have been a couple of occasions when I’ve had a request forContinue reading “New Year”

I have been lapse in posting recently as I have been doing Grandma duties. My daughter is expecting a baby any day now and, as I live 100 miles away I have been down to see her. I am about to go away again to keep her company in the last few days of pregnancyContinue reading “Grandma duties”

Hi I’ve had a mixed day with lots of activity – hair cut, supermarket run, you know the sort. As well as creating things with glass I also edit the village magazine. I had to get that to the printers today so the morning was spent putting the articles together and filling in gaps withContinue reading “A Mixed Day”

My husband and I like to play Yahtzee. This is a game using 5 dice. We found that this was quite noisy on our table so we use a beading mat to roll them on quietly. However, when we go away on holiday or play outside in the garden the mat is likely to blowContinue reading “Fused weights”

My daughter (not the one with the baby) made some curtains for our living room, and very nice they were too. I offered to make her something from glass for her house. She pointed me to another artist’s work so I got the inspiration from that. The artist obviously has a large kiln so IContinue reading “Fused Decorations”
