Apologies to all there are a few issues preventing blogging for probably the next few days. I apologise in advance and will come back as soon as I am able. In the meantime I was recipe testing this at the weekend for a future video. Back as soon as possible…

I am pleased to report that I am feeling much better. I had a slow start to the day however by lunchtime I was feeling almost normal. We went for coffee this afternoon with a friend which was really good. The latest video is now live. Do have a look and let me know whatContinue reading “Circle to square granny square”

Today has been a bit of a write off. I know I am gluten intolerant and am exceptionally careful about what I eat. I can spend hours reading ingredients. Tuesday evening I felt a little off but all seemed to be ok. However by yesterday evening I was having all the symptoms associated with havingContinue reading “Gluten or …?”

Today I managed to get to Knit and Natter for the first time in more than a month. It was great to get back to it and to see people there. The slice of gluten free vegan cake went down well too! I took the project that I started in the UK. I have finishedContinue reading “Knit, natter, filming and rain.”

Today’s video vlog has gone live. I hope you enjoy it. Please do let me know what you think. I have now promised that I will do some videos on creating granny squares. Until Monday…

It is renowned for its crêpes, which really are a meal in a way that many others aren’t. They were absolutelyContinue reading “Out to lunch”

Today I recorded this week’s vlog video. As part of the video I was revisiting the blanket or throw that I am making. I was saying that I need to get back on it and complete it. So I thought I’d get back to it today. This is where I started to realise that IContinue reading “A salutary lesson!”

This week I am going to be talking about Hygge on my vlog. At the same time I want to be able to show the advent calendar that I first showed on the vlog Heritage and Heirlooms. It has taken some time to complete however I finally finished it today. There was more embroidery thanContinue reading “An advent calendar”
