About Me
I started this blog in 2008 to record how my garden developed, it quickly became a gardening journal and I have loved it every since. I am passionate about horticultre despite working in higher education administration. However now, 2013, I want to re-engage with my early hobbies of sewing, knitting and crochet so this blog will start to have a wider range of entries that aren't all garden related.
I love reading your comments and I do hope you enjoy the blog.

Helen you are a woman of many talents…I have tried sewing on several occasions throughout my life but it is a lost cause…I can’t sew a straight line to save my life and I rip out more stitches than I sew….sewing is not relaxing but frustrating…but I love to see the talents of others and what they create…looks cute!
Hi Donna
I used to do lots of sewing before I had the boys, made my own clothes etc but its been a while. I made the original goose 20 odd years ago and this time I am making a new set of clothes for her so it colour cco-ordinates my Mum’s room better!
What are you going to call the duck?
Goose has been around for 20 odd years – my Mum calls her Goosey Lucy not very original
That looks like fun! I just finished crocheting a shawl for my mother. It is something I really enjoy while watching some television.
That’s going to be really cute. I’ve been sewing myself this week, I ran up a pair of pyjama trousers.
How very cute!
Have a blessed day!

Boy do I remember that goose for more than 2 decades. What are you planning to make? Hope it turns out well. Sewing can be a relaxing hobby sometimes when you have the extra time. Don’t worry about being wordless today; bloggers experience writer’s block every now and then!
