Seagull LED tealight holders are back on my sewing bench today. Who doesn't love a cheeky seagul?? I promise these ones won't steal your chips!

The fabulous Justine from .festival has given all stall holders a pair of weekend tickets to give away for the festival in July. If you would like to win them, just comment 'tickets please', tag who you would take and I'll pop your name in the hat. I will draw out the winner on 12th June 🎉

Whoop whoop! The sun is due to do it's thing this bank holiday weekend!!!!! Who is excited for some sunny vibes? ? Somehow everything is a bit more positive when there's a bit of sunshine 🧡

Is it just a little bit sad that on my hubby receiving a Fortnum & Mason wine hamper, my first thought was 'ooo lovely wicker basket, mmmm how can I use that?'

Although it was closely followed by 'mmm lovely wine!' - but that was very much an afterthought...

Well it turns out it is a perfect way to display my new crochet hook rolls. I made myself one last year and it proved so useful, I have made some for Folksy & craftshows. Each roll has eight pockets for crochet hooks, a couple of wider pockets for small scissors or a tape measure, a poppered pouch for buttons, a ring to clip stitch markers to and two felt pages for needles to sew those pesky ends in! All rolling up to a roll measuring 18x9cm. 🧡

Phew lampshades are finished! Always find making them up so stressful as it's so easy to mess it all up at the last minute. The ones that were that were commissioned are safely in their new home. These are two are for my big weekend .festival 🩷 Really looking forward to showing there again in July. Can thoroughly recommend it for all you crafty types!

Little test pieces for some lampshades I'm working on. Must admit I find making lampshades a bit stressful. You can put so much work into them only to totally mess it up at the last minute by not cutting it quite right to allow for the turned up edges .... hence I now have a nearly headless seagul pen pot on my work bench which was originally supposed to be a tea light holder 🤣

After a couple of weeks getting away from it all travelling round the far East, I am back in my sewing room this week using some of my favourite fabrics to make craft room caddies.

I made myself one to hold my scissors (of which I have far too many pairs!) a few years ago and have been meaning to make some to sell ever since - not sure I will be making them again as they were ruddy fiddly to make 🤣

Not going to lie, the past few weeks have been tough and I have struggled to find the motivation to sew. My lovely friend brought light and laughter into all our lives and is so missed. She always saw the joy. So gave myself a stern talking to and took myself off to Ardingly to the Quilting & Sewing Show and came back with a a few fat quarters and just for a moment there, looking at all the lovely fabric stalls, I found a tiny bit of joy. 🧡

Yay! It's Friday! I haven't made one of my hot air ballon cushions for a while but am loving revisiting the design. I have also loved having a good rummage in my fabric stash to find pretty pinks and lilacs. I can't share all of it yet as it has been personalised and I don't want to spoil surprises!

There is something about hares, isn't there?! I always feel a little bit blessed when I spot one on The Downs.

I finished these hoops at the end of last year but haven't got round to sharing them until now. Using paint on fabric is new to me but I'm loving the way it gives the moon a little halo. Will definitely be exploring that more.

I haven't had a great start to 2026 with a very close friend passing unexpectedly. I won't go into detail but just to say, give your friends an extra hug and cherish it. 🧡

Day 2 .festival and it's feeling very festive here with the Christmas tunes on, mulled wine in one hand and a mince pie in the other. There are some beautiful crafters here and craft classes if you are near Ardingly and want to get out of the horrible weather we are having. 🎄🎄🎄
