My Shipping Forecast Quilt {update 1}

Posted on January 26, 2018 by jenny

It has been an embarrassingly long time since I wrote an update about the Shipping Forecast Quilt I have been stitching. In fact the one and only update I have posted was back in May 2015! I am a little red-faced right now. As part of 2018 and my Year of Craft I am trying…

Photo by Giulia Bertelli on Unsplash I’ve been sorting out some of my craft supplies this morning.

Mindful stitching with the Winter Craftpod box

Posted on January 22, 2018January 22, 2018 by jenny

Before Christmas I received the Winter Craftpod box. This is my favourite subscription box at the moment. It comes quarterly which means I actually have time to make what’s inside and enjoy it! What was inside the Winter Craftpod box? There were two Winter crafts – a sweet stitching project to embroider Winterberries in a small hoop,…
