January sewing plans

It's January! In 2019! I'm excited! All the exclamation points! Anyway, hello! It's a new year and I really enjoy the feeling of possibility that comes with a new year. I'm not going to launch in to a whole 'New Year New Me' speech because I probably will continue to be the same me I …

Monday Mention – The Craftivist Collective

One of my plans for 2018 was to reinstate the Monday Mentions blog series that I began a couple of years ago (okay, one post is not a blog series) - I want to share with you posts about creative people or groups; people you may not have come across before or not know much …

February sewing plans

I had high hopes for January but life got in the way (as usual) but I have had a good month regardless! I think maybe I was a little over-confident with my plans when I knew I had most weekends booked up already. February is a much quieter month but I think that the only …

Cataloguing a stash, or ‘how to shame yourself into not buying more’

As you probably know by now, I have an embarrassingly large stash and it has grown a bit out of control - so much so that I am currently on a #stashdiet and I'm not allowed to buy anything new until July. I can't even show you a photo of the mess that it is, …

A quick sewing fix

2018 has got off to a bit a weird start - I have lots of plans but I just can't seem to make myself pick something and start it! After a long week at work, I came home with a strong need to make something, anything, as long as I could just sit at my …

January sewing plans

It's 2018! I know it's a cliché but I am excited for this year - 2017 flew by and as you know from my monthly posts my year was quite up and down in terms of sewing and productivity, so I am ready for a strong start to 2018! My first big goal for 2018 …

Sewing plans for #2018makenine

I love this time of year - the last few days of the year after Christmas are always a time for planning, anticipation (and eating too much leftover chocolate) and getting ready to see what the new year brings. Following on from last year's #2017makenine, I wanted to start 2018 with a fresh list of …

Oh Adelaide

It's December, it's nearly Christmas... so today I'm posting about a little summer dress! Does anyone else get a sudden strong urge to make something new to wear to an event even when you know you don't really have the time? A couple of months ago was the New Craft House summer party and although …

December sewing plans

November has flown by, and as we approach the festive season, if you're anything like me it can be easy to take on too many projects during an already busy period. I already know that despite my best laid plans I will probably plan too much for this month - but I guess that isn't …

March sewing plans

It's that time again folks! I always forget how quickly February comes and goes. I feel like I barely had a chance to get going with anything at all! I'm hoping for a productive March - I've got my diary next to me to help keep me organised! I want to cram a lot in …
