Isn’t it funny how things sometimes cross your path at exactly the right moment? I was just thinking that I need to replace the blade on my 45mm Olfa rotary cutter, when this little gem came into my p…

Vendulka Battais wrote a new post, Spring clean and the UFOs, WIPs and PIGs 8 years, 2 months ago
Let’s hope the spring is finally here (no more snow please!) It’s so nice to open the doors and windows in the house for more than just 5 minutes to get some fresh air and new energy in. Before we dive into…

Oh how I wish…! I have a sewing room and a crafting room. My crafting room is more planned than the sewing room, but one of my stepsons came back to live with us last year, and I said he could use the crafting room for storage short term…obviously we have different ideas about what short term actually is. I have been trying to finish off WIPs and PHDs recently, including getting projects hung in the home, and I finished a quilt top 3 weeks ago that I’ve been working on, on and off, for 6 years. Problem now is finding the time to quilt it! I’d love to get going in my sewing room today, but alas, work calls!

Great idea, the forum already exists, new subject threads can be set up anytime, not sure it could replace Facebook as that serves a specific purpose but an additional place for views and help would be quite simple to set up.
We already have a knowledge base on the site, but it could do with more input, if anyone wants to help out then feel free…[Read more]

There’s nothing nicer on these cold, dark evenings than snuggling up on the sofa, under a quilt, in front of an open fire with a good book. Or in my case, Kindle. I struggle to hand sew in poor light, so this time o…

Oh fabulous! Pinterest is such a valuable tool. I do spend too much time looking at all of the lovely things though!

I have had one of these for years – its brilliant, and saves buying new ones all the time. I have recently replaced a blade for the first time in five years (and I do quite a lot of rotary cutting!)

Wow! 5 years? That’s incredible! I’m lucky to make 5 months but I can really see this sharpener getting used a lot!
