Here Comes Christmas…… Fluoro Flakes
Did anyone just mention Christmas?….. Yes it’s nearly here….. and, believe it or not, I’m pretty organised this year, for a change…. At least i think I am. Just one little thing though – my tree’s looking a bit bare… still. Every year i try to make new ornaments for it, but this year I’ve …
A Letter to Santa
Christmas seems to be so much more fun with children around. They’re coming home from school with cotton wool snowmen and cut out snowflakes. They’re practising their Christmas songs and learning lines for the nativity. Their latest favourite read is the Argos catalogue (why oh why did I pick one of those up?) and every …
Draughtbusters
We’re hunkering down for the winter here in London… and it’s getting cold… so I thought I’d share this. In these times of saving energy, colossal heating bills and (still, despite what people are saying) austerity. Someone somewhere may find it useful…. Have you seen the gaps underneath our doors? I mean… seriously…. Look at …
For Mums
It’s Mothers day again over here in the Uk. I can’t believe it’s come round again. How time flies. Big bunches of flowers, lovely handmade cards from the little ones, having breakfast in bed or lunch down the pub – it’s all going on in this part of the world today. But let’s spare a …
Hearts – not just for Lovers.
It’s nice to take time to appreciate those you love but, let’s be honest, Valentines day is not everyones cup of tea. Red Roses, Chocolate Hearts, or candle-lit dinners – been there, done that, have come out the other end – now totally indifferent……. so I’m not going to go on about love… or romance. Having said that, I do love …
Gifts for the boys….Tidy Bag
There’s nothing nicer than a handmade gift. I love ’em. But Boys?….. simple handmade gifts for boys (and by that I mean men) – now, that’s a tricky one, especially with the men I know. They seem to be much more discerning, more fussy than any girl. They totally get the handmade thing but with …
New Year, New Arrivals, New variation – Stripey Chukkas
A little something for the New Year new arrivals. Two new versions of my Little Chukka boot…. in stripe. I’ve been dying to try a stripey version of these. Knitted in two rows of each colour – a nice stripe width, it’s also easy to change colour without floating yarn or finishing off. You may need to …

More Stashbusting – Modern Patchwork
Here I am again, sorting through my stash, not wanting to throw away these scraps of fabric. It just seems so wasteful. Time for another project….. some modern patchwork. As lovely as traditional patchwork is, it takes on a whole new lease of life when we bring in right up into the digital age. “How do …
Ring in the New – 2014
It’s been….. a good…. 2013…. but 2014…. is going to…. get more… Interesting. Watch this space…. Wishing all you thredheads a Happy, Healthy, Lucky and Creative New Year. XXX thredHED
