Everything's Coming Up Roses 20 Jul 2013 | 05:00 am
Oooh dear, big blog absence - no excuses, it's been hot, and I've been busy. So, what have I been doing? Well, our Spectrum Textile group had an outing to the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green.....
I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles 23 Jun 2013 | 10:17 pm
Gina and I went into town last week to the Fashion and Textile Museum to see the Kaffe Fassett exhibition. We both really enjoyed it, such a riot of colour and texture and all with a bit of humou...
Stitches 9 Jun 2013 | 11:16 pm
I've had a busy week - gardening whenever the sun was out, and sewing when it wasn't. Which it mostly wasn't. So this weekend I've rescued two pairs of jeans that were destined for the charity shop...
Then Came The Last Days of May 2 Jun 2013 | 06:27 pm
Ok, so I know it's now June, but I'm a bit behind, so here's the last few pictures to show I really stuck to the MeMadeMay Challenge - and I did wear something that I'd worn or refashioned, every sing...
Stormy May Day 25 May 2013 | 11:54 pm
On Thursday I went over to St Albans to meet an old friend I hadn't seen for ages, and I wore a refashioned denim dress. Not a great photo, but I covered the yoke with a piece of vintage-y floral fab...

Today I finished another Jalie crossover top - it wasn't really the right fabric - a cotton jersey but not enough stretch, resulting in a few puckers as I couldn't stretch the neckband sufficiently to...
Half Way There 18 May 2013 | 08:28 pm
Well, we're over half way through MeMadeMay and so far, so good. And, although I haven't got photographic evidence for every day, I promise I've worn at least one thing I've made everyday - usually ...
Keep On Your Dress 15 May 2013 | 02:13 pm
Continuing on with MeMadeMay ..... On Thursday I went along to the private view of the North Herts and Beds Embroiderers Guild, where I have a couple of pieces of work exhibited. Incidentally, the e...
Let's Make It Up 9 May 2013 | 02:54 pm
I spent most of last Saturday and Sunday gardening. Sadly, when I'm gardening, I don't look like the ladies in Country Living magazine - wandering around in a floral frock and a sun hat, snipping aw...
