six needle cases. i love them.

all are made from the same piece of upcycled fabric of a floral print in 100% cotton.
hand crocheted fastener and vintage button detail.

very cute AND stylish and a bit retro too.

i have put a few images here. to see the full range look on flickr.

blogging set up

I have spent most of today trying to organise my 'favourites' section on the lap top. some of the things i connected to are from ages ago and are no longer interesting. Some things I have found are like long lost old friends, that I was wondering where they had got to.

So there are now several links on this blog with other blogs and websites. The one I have just finished looking at/linking with is UKHandmade. No doubt some of you will already be linked up with it, might even meet some of you there!


Need to start putting some photos of things I have been recently making on here....
just checked the camera, the batteries exhausted, deep joy! will have to do it later, gives me time to knit while i wait. yipee! nothing like stolen time!

blog virgin

oh wow! i am blogging! the first one i've done.
Thought it was about time, lots of things i need to share with you all.
1. my stuff i've been making.
2. stuff i've been making and you can look to buy ( if you look on Etsy).
3. other people making fab things.
4. probably musings on life, love and stuff too.
Lots of ideas. watch this space.
