I managed to complete another block tonight, it was quite straight forward and I finished it whilst watching America’s Next Top Model! We told some of our friends and work colleagues about our engagement today which was fun. Everyone was asking if we had set a date and decided on a venue but we haven’t…

Sock Monkey
I spent the weekend making this cute sock monkey from a pattern in Sock and Glove by Miyako Kanamori. I had loads of fun making him, (it’s definitely a he) and I’ve called him Alfie. He’s made out of a very special sock from M&S and will be winging his way across the Atlantic to…

Happy St Patrick’s Day! A lovely straightforward block tonight, made with some fabrics from a recent swap.
Tired :(
This week feels veerrry long, probably as my weekend was so short. I needed a break from the Dear Baby Jane blocks (A7 Dad’s Plaid looks hard!) so I tried my hand at making a Dotee doll. These are very popular at the moment and it was quick and fun to make. I signed up…
