That's the original Norwich (Noh-ritch) in Norfolk, UK, not Norwich (Nor-wich), Connecticut; although I'm sure it's lovely too. We spent a very relaxed weekend here at the beginning of August; eating well,

I made a very simple teddy to go with the baby quilt I just finished. The inspiration - a monkey on one of the sections on the quilt. The quilt has quite a few jungle animals on it, so I thought this would

I've finished the baby quilt I've been working on. I first wrote about this here and here. I thought I'd share it with you. It started out looking like this. I played about with it a bit, and ended up

On the weekend we went to Kew Gardens at Richmond in London. We did not have to see the whole site; I think you could spend a week there and still haves things to see. Highlights were the Palm House, the

I've finished my Letraset box. Simple, but very satisfying. This is how the sheets used to come from Letraset. I won't be throwing these away, just hoarding them along with my piles of old newspapers...

I've now made the base for my Letraset box. It's lined and ready for use, except for the fastening. I'm still not quite sure whether to make a fastening, or exactly how to do this. Anyhoo, the base (sorry

I'm currently working on the lid for my Letraset box. The box will be wrapped in a blue cotton fabric, and I want it to open like a book, so I've sewn the fabric around the top. Now I need to put sides

I can never find year planners that I like, so I usually draw one up myself, and do all the numbers in Letraset. If you're not already familiar with it, Letraset is a dry transfer, made in sheets, and

Haven't posted in ages; too many projects started and waiting for materials before they can proceed. First of all; is anyone else having problems with steemit flipping portrait photos to landscape? Anyone

I've just run up the reverse side of the baby quilt I'm working on. Planned out. Sewn together and pressed. The fat quarters I used make the width bigger than a meter; the size I had originally planned

I've started working on a baby quilt for a friend at work whose son and his wife are having their first baby. Grandma-to-be has asked not to know the sex of the baby, so I'm doing a neutral mix of fabrics

So this is a little snippet of the rural idyll in England where I am lucky enough to live. It's not always this sunny. Aeroplane! Standard drive to the pub. 😯😯😯 Thanks for having a look, and hope you

Still Saturday in Hawaii!!!! Purple Matryoshka. Thanks for having a look, and hope you enjoy!

Continuing the matryoshka theme I've been doing this week, here are my blue matryoshkas. Some close ups; this blue lady I got from the Russian Treasures Gift Shop in Amsterdam. She has a bit of a delft

It's currently Friday morning in the UK, but I went to the pub last night and forgot to post Thursday's green post when we got back... but... it's still Thursday in California. I spent a very happy summer

For Wednesday Yellow, I give you 2 matryoshkas; one traditional lady brought back from St Petersburg by a friend, and one I hand painted myself because I couldn't find a Miffy matryoshka - and that delightful

For Tuesday's Orange Colour Challenge, I present this lil' lady. Similar in style to, and possibly inspired by the Japanese Kokeshi doll, the matryoshka doll was created in around 1890. If you ever have

I collect matryoshka dolls - I had one as a child and loved how colourful she was. As an adult apparently I can't stop gathering tchotchke and giving myself more things to dust. Hence, I give you my Red

The coffee table my husband and I have been making is finished. I love it when a plan comes together! Sees parts 1 and 2. Once we had a central line to go from, we started gluing down the pieces individually,

Now, I know that for most people, Easter was last Sunday. However, for the Eastern Orthodox Church, Easter is today. In our household we get two Easters. For me, double the chocolate is definitely a reason
