Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Adding to my stash

I was disappointed to see how much Tenterden has changed since I was last there. Many of the lovely antique and specialist shops are gone. There are now eight charity shops. This was fine for me as I was fabric hunting but not good for the mix of shops in the town. The Pilgrims Hospice shop was interesting.  It is styled as a vintage shop and the quality and prices were higher than normal. It was a real pleasure browsing there and I got a gorgeous green silk scarf for £6. It will get some wear before it joins the fabric stash.
 
 
 

A fine collection

In the end I made seven cardies for my new great neice. They range in size from 3 months to 2 years. I am really enjoying the patterns by the Australian designer I found on Raverly. A good investment.
This pattern is still my favourite though.
 
A new great neice/nephew is due in January so I have started knitting for them now.  
 
 
he parents don't want to know the sex this time so I am doing boy and girl cardies. I might even do a gender neutral one but not lemon.
