I’m writing this a week before the Bloggerati retreat – and it could well be the last Bloggerati retreat. I feel sad should this be the case, as the retreat has given me the chance to meet like-minded people and to…

I am a bit of a sucker for different gadgets and gizmos – anything to make life a little easier. As an example, I used to find joining the ends of binding a bit tricky – until I bought the binding tool. That cer…

Christine Hutchins wrote a new post, FINISHIn praise of a word for the year 4 years, 4 months ago
Last year I had a word of the year for the first time – my word last year was ‘FOCUS’. This year I’ve chosen ‘FINISH’ as my word for the year.

It is a chilly early October day – well, it feels chilly to me as I’m sat here on my chaise longue in my sewing room, surrounded by fabric. That sounds very exotic and posh doesn’t it? I’m going to let you carry o…

Running a 200 Club means advertising it – and so it needed a logo.
The whip has been cracked – and it does seem a while since I last wrote a blog. I’d love to say it is due to me doing so much sewing. Howe…

An admirable ideal for this jumbled year. I think mine should be “ finish”.
