Whew! There’s nothing like being done! I was seriously starting to feel it in my shoulder. I had managed to do the final layers on about 10 of the 25 prints before I ran out of time yesterday. This morning, after a late and rather stressful start to the day, I got back to it.…
Past Participants It’s that time of year again. The 20/20 print exchange! I signed up months ago and then my whole creative world blew up, so I’m just now getting round to it! The 20/20 print exchange is run by an outside third party, and our studio, Intra Arts, contributes to the exchange every year,…
Poppies! I found some time to work on one of Just_Pootling‘s seasonal wreath designs, which I plan on making into seasonal bunting. If you look at my Instagram feed, you might notice the occasional appearance of the coffee mug up in the corner. The symbol on the mug is the logo for Avenue Tennis, my…

Tatting: Poor Man’s Lace When I started a coffee and crochet group about six years ago, one of the regulars was doing some shuttle tatting. I had never tried it before, but I was intrigued. I dove head-first into a world of plastic shuttles from Japan and all the size 10 crochet thread I could…
Crochet-a-long! Who doesn’t love a Crochet-a-long? I love the feeling that I’m working on the very same project as a whole bunch of other people, and checking in and seeing everyone else’s work. But it has to be something special, and something challenging to keep me interested. If this is the kind of thing you…
some more about socks.
