Useful Links

Things are coming along nicely with preparing content to upload here. I forgot to mention another project I'm working (I've got my fingers in all the pies) at the moment; a knitted flying spaghetti monster. If you don't know what on earth I'm talking about then go HERE and get acquainted with his noodlyness. I'll be uploading a tutorial on how to make this toy once it's finished (I'm about half way through).

On another note, this is the very beginning of what I hope to be quite a large blog that spans a huge range of crafts, so I thought I'd give you an insight into the rest of my world, whilst doing some shameless plugging at the same time :)

I'm a freelance writer, working mainly on press releases for clients online, so here's a link to my blog of sample articles, reviews, releases, etc.

I also got into the blogosphere via HubPages; a wonderful community of bloggers with a very unique way of blogging...I highly recommend you join and become my fan - I'll return the favour! Click Here

Last but not least, if you're a female blogger too then there's a great forum and social networking site dedicated to you...


Right, I'd best get back to work so that I can finish early and get on with some knitting. I've recently finished a square for one of the patchwork quilts that my Nan knits for charity. More on Nan another day as she deserves a post of her own!

Patterns, Recipes and Tutorials Coming Soon!

This blog isn't looking too hot at the moment, is it?

Don't worry - we'll be up and running very soon once I've managed to upload some photographs and draw up some knitting patterns. I'll be showing you pictures of my latest projects (a ribbed, striped boyfriend scarf and how I'm using up scraps of wool to make a patchwork blanket) and hopefully some half decent cooking recipes too. I'm making minted Welsh lamb burgers from scratch tonight so I'll take some pictures ready to upload.

For now, here's a picture of the Sackboy plush that my Mum and I made for my boyfriend's 2008 Christmas present (modeled by the lovely man himself).

Sackboy is made from:
- soft hessian (burlap) material
- cut up black tshirt for the mouth
- cut up pair of red underwear (!) for the tongue
- a 9inch zip
- toy stuffing
- navy blue knitting thread.

Boyfriend is made from:
- slugs
- snails
- puppy dog's tails.

Between my Mum and I the Sackboy only took about 2-3 days to complete although after all the sewing my fingers were red raw. This project calls for a thimble! Anyway, I need to get back to work so stay tuned, I promise to be back very soon with some project ideas.
