Somehow I created this little patchy kitty last night! I’ve always wanted to try tapestry crochet, but I never quite found the inspiration to start. I also thought it would be very difficult, with all

It is nesting season, and I prefer my kitties to stay mostly indoors, though they are allowed out around midday when birds are less likely to be on the ground. They also wear bigger bells when outside

So, I’ve been strolling around Cheltenham town, just on the edge of the Cotswolds, and I popped into this little sewing shop called The Sewing Box. One of my go-to shops when I’m around Cheltenham, and

My previous cat toothbrush was well-used by my kitties and has now worn out, so I decided to spend a little time creating a new one. I went with a centipede-like design and developed my own technique for

Another day crocheting on the road, making use of the time while sitting in traffic. I never had a plan for what to make. I simply picked up my blue yarn and 3.5 mm hook before leaving the house, as the

I’ve always wanted to make a refillable crochet car freshener, so I decided to try it today. I chose a peach design because the colour is soft and calming, not too bright or distracting while driving.

I've been all over the place this week and could hardly sit still to stitch, but as usual, I took the chance to create something while we were on our way to Frodsham to visit my lovely father-in-law. He's

I've always had an issue with how I store my bananas; mixing them with other fruits makes the other fruits ripen and spoil quickly. Bananas release ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone that triggers the

While travelling northwest yesterday, I brought along some 3mm macramé cord and a 6.5mm crochet needle to make the most of the journey. I started stitching aimlessly as i did not have a clear plan in mind.

One of the things I love doing in spring is collecting a few wildflowers to bring indoors. But I often stop myself because my two mischievous kitties are far too curious. They love plants, and their constant

Crochet always surprises me—you never really know how things will turn out. I made a pink flamingo last night and hesitated to post this, but I changed my mind because it is funny! Let’s just say it came

As we are in the height of winter and it has been absolutely cold, I needed some extra warmth. A hot water bottle does the trick, and to make my bottle huggable, I decided to create a crocheted cover.

I hadn't planned to make anything today—honestly, I rarely do—but nothing sparked inspiration. That was until I saw the stunning clouds outside my window this morning. The winter sunrise and beautiful

Inspired by this short movie, The Snowman(1982) is a beloved British animated short film based on Raymond Briggs' 1978 picture book of the same name, the film is celebrated for its artistry, emotional

Yesterday, a storm brought heavy rain and strong winds and flooded roads with fallen trees. The sky was gloomy and dark, and the power was out all day. Without phone signals, people were left wondering

With the cold weather setting in over the next few days, I wanted something to keep my feet warm and cozy. I had some thick, soft, fluffy yarn lying around and thought it would be perfect for a pair of

"Don’t worry—it's just a friendly Coco-Ghost! I crocheted my daughter’s favorite imaginary character, Coco-Ghost, that she was so obsessed with when she was five. She used to draw all kinds of

Pumpkins have been part of Halloween for ages, thanks to Irish people who used to carve turnips to keep evil spirits away.

Inspired by nature's changing colours, I decided to crochet autumn leaves in both macro and micro styles using the same pattern. With some leftover cords and 6.5 mm needle , I made a set of coasters, and

I always admire these neighboring fields with sheep grazing, scattered like cottony clouds every time I look through the window. It was blustery this morning as I walked past it. My eyes caught on a soft
