I’m feeling a little guilty this morning… You see, today was my deadline to make something rather glorious from this heavenly peacock fabric. And what have I done with it? Erm, absolutely nothing. A month or so ago, I entered the Hillarys Blinds country craft competition: you selected your favourite fabric from four options which … Continue reading Feeling guilty

On being permanently stressed out
Apart from a glorious weekend last weekend (see my garden moodboard or mating frog pics for more on that!) I’ve been seriously strung out since we moved back home… Of course, it’s not surprising. The house is a tip, we’ve had workmen of one kind or other in here almost every day since we’ve been … Continue reading On being permanently stressed out
Amorous frogs…
...it must be Spring! It seems to be frog mating season in our pond; every time I wander down to the end of the garden I can hear a low melodic ribbiting and look over to the pond to see at least four sets of frogs, clinging to each other in an endless embrace in … Continue reading Amorous frogs…
Garden moodboard: March
Isn’t Spring bloody great? I’m practically elated to be back to my garden in time for this fabulous early March weather. As I collected the flowers for these pictures, the sproglet was careening up and down the garden (as full as Spring fever as I am), the air was scented with blossom from next door’s … Continue reading Garden moodboard: March
Home
I wrote this and took the photos a week or so ago, but couldn't find my camera lead to download anything... Pleased to report that *some* progress has since taken place! I’ve been a little quiet this week, because last Saturday we moved home. After three months away, we’re finally back in our pad.* It … Continue reading Home

So, it's perhaps a little surprising that I have only recently discovered the plethora of stunning vintage botanical illustrations that are available out there for free on the internet. (And by free, I mean both … Continue reading Vintage botanical deliciousness
The joy of knitting
Now that my exams are over, I am itching to tackle my gigantically long to do list. And the very first thing at the top of the list is to knit a blanket for the impending arrival of sproglet number two… What with one thing and another* I’ve hardly done any knitting for almost a … Continue reading The joy of knitting
Garden moodboard: February
It's slightly ironic (in the non-Alanis Morissette sense of the word) that when I have horticulture exams to revise for, my garden becomes completely abandoned. Any spare time I have must be spent revising, not weeding, planting or pottering about with secateurs. And so it is, that I am publishing my monthly garden moodboard 17 … Continue reading Garden moodboard: February
Wolf & Ink
Those of you who’ve been reading my blog for a while might remember my hugely talented sister, Letterpress printer extraordinaire and maker of my wedding invitations and business cards. Well, she’s put me to shame once again for, while I’ve been wittering on about starting a fabric business for more than a year but done … Continue reading Wolf & Ink
Water and working
Friends, this post comes to you with the exciting news that the sproglet is having a nap right now and I am... ...not revising! I spent all of yesterday huddled over a chair, with severe thumb cramps, scribbling, scribbling, scribbling away, trying to write everything I knew about winter cabbage and pruning blackcurrants and the … Continue reading Water and working
