Norfolk Makers’ Festival 2023

I had a fantastic day at the Norfolk Makers’ Festival, which is taking place at The Forum in Norwich until 19 March.

Stitch Journal – February 2023

I completed my February stitch journal last week.

Baby comforters

With the baby blankets finished and having so much wool left over, I decided to make a couple of comforters for my friend, who is expecting twins next month.

Baby blankets

One of the lovely ladies I work with is expecting twins in the spring, so I have made her a couple of baby blankets.

Stitch Journal – January 2023

At some point, early on in 2022, I saw (on Instagram, I think) a stitch journal. It looked really interesting, and I knew straight away that I wanted to try and make my own. It was a bit too far through the year to start, so I put it on the back burner until the end of the year.

Christmas projects 2022

Here’s a little round-up of all of my Christmas crafting.

A bird’s eye view of an allotment

For quite some time, I’ve had my eye on Collette Kinley’s embroidery pattern for a bird’s eye view of an allotment.

An autumn wreath

Work has been crazily busy this year, so I haven’t had as much energy, or motivation, to do much making. However, with all of the never-ending depressing news, I’ve recently felt the need to turn to crafting for some much-needed escapism.

Folkestone Artworks

I’m just back from a week in Kent, my first holiday in three years! I stayed in Folkestone, somewhere I hadn’t visited before, and it turned out to be a really vibrant, creative place.

Crown to Catwalk

One of the things that I used to enjoy most about visiting the Knitting and Stitching Shows was seeing the work on display in the textile galleries. Even in pre-Covid times, the shows got too busy for me so I stopped going, preferring to look out for smaller exhibitions instead. When I saw that the Royal School of Needlework was holding a 150th-anniversary show at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, I knew that it would be something I would enjoy.
