I too became addicted to the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. A friend from my hubbys work lent them to us.
I read all four books in a matter of weeks.
But now I have finished and I miss them.
We went and saw the movie last night to try and fill the void but that only made [...]

It is not to say that I don’t like knitting or even that I can’t. I am quite fond of knitting and am quite capable of following a pattern and making something. I would probably rate myself as an advanced beginner. The issue is …. I don’t knit. I can always find something [...]

Last week dees suggested showing our favourite book.
I have been thinking about this for a long time. I have lots of favourite books and lots of favourite authors. Once I find an author I like I tend to read everything they have written. At [...]

With no time, skill or ability I bought some yarn to crochet a top. I have been itching make something more substantial and I think that this is the right project. Though it might be a little too complex for me.
Did I mention that I don’t have the time for this and should be [...]

Doodle stitching is an absolutely awesome book. Other reviews and photos that I have seen out there in blog land really do not do it justice. It provides ‘how to’ information on basic stitches and guidance to use those stitches for free-form embroidery.

I am really enjoying crocheting. I did the first couple of lessons from crafty daisies crochet school but then got sick of making squares. I really wanted to make something.
The couple of things that I am dying to crochet were not really appropriate for a first project. They are the babette blanket [...]

Packages, parcels and envelopes were arriving daily. Most of my birthday shopping spree finally showed up on my door step.
All of the fabric here is from Z&S. I love the way they package their fabrics – all tied nicely with a little bow.
I got a 6 yards of Prints Charming, red Follow [...]
