Wishlist Wednesday

Oh look, a second blog post in a week. Might I actually be keeping my promise? I think so!

Now today's Wishlist Wednesday is a bit different. This is something for my immediate wish list, rather than my grown up one. You see I seem to have lost my sewing mojo. Boo! So far this year I've been all about the knitting, I've crocheted myself a throw and more recently I've been bitten by the growing bug, but I look at my sewing machine and I don't get that thrill of excitement I usually do. Anyone else gone through uninspired spells like this?? I'd appreciate some tips if you've got any!

Anyways I'll leave you with these pretty pics - maybe if I stare at them long enough I'll leap forth light bulb moment style and fire up the machine. Fingers crossed! :)

Bad Blogger

I have officially become an atrocious blogger. Slap my wrists someone. I can but apologize. I do however think that I'm settling in to a bit of a routine so things should be getting back to normal in the blogosphere. I've got a few crafty goings on to share with you this week, but as I've spent the past couple of days pottering around the garden I'll leave you with some spring flowers to enjoy in the mean time.

WIP Wednesday

Help! I have been lost under a pile of granny squares!

I decided that I'd make myself a housewarming prezzie so I thought I'd make me a throw for my sofa (yes I do now actually have a sofa - no more floor for me!). I've crocheted 81 of these purple and cream squares and I've joined two thirds of them but have sadly run out of yarn! So this project is being put on hold whilst I scour t'internet for a match.

Maybe I'll pick up the dreaded shawl and give that another go in the mean time!

Happy St. David's Day

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus i chi gyd! I spent our patron saint's day in our capitol city, marching through the streets of Cardiff in full Welsh costume. Pipes and drums and dancing - what better way is there to spend an afternoon??

Anyways I'm absolutely shattered now, so I'll love you and leave you in favor of a big bowl of cawl and a welshcake. Nos Da!

Folksy Friday

Good morning! Well it's a wet and miserable one today but I'm having fun unpacking more pretty things to put in my flat. Most of my stuff has been boxed up for the past 4 months and I'm finding a ton of stuff I'd forgotten I owned!

Anyway, whilst I try to cram candles and trinkets into non-existent space I'll let you look at some pretty things too!

Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the weather to improve a little. All this rain puts a dampener on my walking plans this weekend. Although I'm missing my beach a lot I'm lucky to be minutes away from Cardigan Wildlife Park, with runs along the river Tivy. I'll put up a few pics for you next week!

Wishlist Wednesday

Ok so on top of my to do list is to schedule blog posts! So it turns out that my blogging days have become my busiest days of the week. I'm gonna have to start writing in advance me thinks. Anyhoo, this week it's Wishlist Wednesday and this week I have my eye on some lovely prints to liven up my magnolia walls.

So I'm nearly all unpacked now and have started doing a bit of me crafting. I'm currently crocheting my fingers off trying to make a throw for my currently non-existent sofa. It's fulfilling my granny square obsession no end! Pics to come! :)

WIP Wednesday

Sorry for the blog silence last week. I moved! Again! They say that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do and I've moved 3 times in the past 4 months. But I'm settled now and here to stay. Phew! We ended up having to move from the last place so I went and got myself my own flat. Exciting! It is little more than a shoebox but it's my shoebox. :)

Somehow I have managed to blag myself every piece of furniture / appliance that's here. I haven't bought a single thing! And I plan on making most of the furnishings myself. Starting with these:


My light shade is dusty and bent so I thought I'd make myself a yarn chandelier! They're still drying 24 hours on but I'm itching to burst one of the balloons to see whether they keep their shape!


I actually really enjoyed cracking out the PVA and getting messy. Don't think I've done anything like that since I was a kid. Anyways you'll be seeing more crafty makes up here over the next few weeks. I have blinds, a throw, cushion covers and maybe even a rug on my list of things to make! Fun times!

Folksy Friday

Oh my it's been blowing a gale all night and I have not slept one wink. I suppose that's one down side of sleeping up under the rafters. I've been waiting for the roof to come off since I got home last night! Anyway I'd best get this post finished so I can go back to bed!

Well yesterday was Chinese new year, and with it being the year of the Rabbit, I've found some lovely bunny themed items for this week's Folksy Friday:

Lavender bunnies by Pouch.

Little White Rabbit Sock Bunny by Widget and Friends.

Little Doozer Rabbits by Charley Dreams.

Harry the Rabbit by Crafty Lady.

And finally Sparkly Rabbit by The Glass Mountain.

Well to add insult to injury the cat has just gone and nabbed my breakfast whilst I went to answer the door. Who'd have thought Mr Mau likes boiled eggs! And it looks like the weather will be too wet and windy to shoot some arrows this weekend so it's shaping up to be a weekend of tea drinking and knitting for me. But not before I get some sleep. Nos da! :)
