Winter isn't all its cracked upto be!

This is my pot full of viola's, well they should be snug under all that snow. Considering Im just outside Manchester city centre you can see how bad it was.

Heres my take on the wreath tutorial from the
Shabby Cottage blog. It cost pennies to make as I had everything in except the skeletons .Many thanks for the idea I love my new goth wreath.

Been busy to no avail...


Was supposed to have a stall at a local farmers market but they now demand personal injury insurance and its just not feasable when you only do 2 events a year. How sad its come to this. I only do it cos i can't stop creating things and need a bit of cash to ensure I don't end up in the poor house haha

September already....


Had a very busy few weeks and as soon as I draw breath I realise its nearly time for the farmers market in Heaton Moor. I have loads of stuff made so not much reason to panic. These are my crochet balls courtesy of Ravelry. Have done some more and they are off to Rwanda, an orphanage there requested toys and books via Bonnie Babies charity

August already!


Am busy searching for a short break in Northumberland to go hunting for gargoyles. Have saved lots of cash on Money saving expert that we can afford a couple of nights in motel ( 19 pounds per night deal) But the flipping site wont accept my card for payment!

Just had my 50th birthday and it was lovely except for the dishwasher emptying itself all over the kitchen floor. Found the outlet pipe had melted cos it was touching the hot pipe......

So much to do!


Here is my darling son with Wedge's new baby boy, Mason. Dont know who is the cutest.

Had a busy few weeks, making toys and baby clothes, some for family and some for Bonnie Babies charity. Just an excuse to buy wool really.

Finally got a film for my camera so hopefully there will be some pics of my work on here soon. I just can't get the hang of digital camera's - Im a luddite where they are concerned
