FORMula...

Introducing 'FORMula'...

 (this will be the back page)

My upcoming range of PDF sewing patterns!

I've finally done it, learned to use Adobe Illustrator, which didn't come easily I have to admit, and am almost ready to upload the first pattern.  They will be on sale initially via both Etsy and Craftsy.

Layout is all pretty much sorted and the instructions are all typed up.  I just need to scan in the pattern templates, some decent light for photography, then to test out the document by emailing it to a few friends and family as a dummy run and we're good to go!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Well, it's that time of year again.  Christmas Eve, husband's birthday...


and homes to find for this little batch of Robins.


Merry Christmas!

In the age of Ipads, the noise of a typewriter isn't heard very often these days.  There we were, on the way to school, when at the side of the road appeared a collection of objects and a sign 'please take, free to a good home'.

There was an exercise bike (I left that well alone, obviously!) and this...


amazingly, it still works!  Could do with a new ribbon and the roller needs a clean, but the kids are fascinated by it.

Not to be left out though, Luke took a shine to, of all things, the empty box the typewriter had been propped up by, which he insisted on bringing home too...!

It's that time of year again,
