I love a bargain, or trying to create something out of nothing (something I picked up from my thrifty mother).
I have my chickens and my kitchen garden, both of these provide produce for my love of cooking.
Basically, if you can sew it, make, grow it or cook it you have come to the right place.
Follow me on my sewing/growing/cooking and making adventures together with some of life’s daily trials and tribulations.

Another Baby quilt
We are expecting another new arrival next week so I thought I had better get going on my Moses basket quilt that I promised to make. I still need to add some more ribbons etc but this is it so far.
Embroidery on Janome machine using Madeira embroidery thread Fabric - brush cotton for the backing and bound edges - cotton polyester for the top. Ribbons and bows from card-making stash
The entire quilt - I basically marked the fabric into four quadrants and then using my embroidery hoop I embroidered something in each quadrant. I repeated the cat because I know mum and dad to be, like cats and then added the puppy and the sheep. See below for better close-up of each quadrant.
Because this is for a little baby I like the tone on tone look so have been sparing with my use of colour. I may well add some more pink bows (yes they know its a girl) but will see where my creative juice take me tonight.
Oh this is so precious!. I have to start on a "paper Dolls "quilt for our darling Riley for her second birthday in Nov.I made one for Sadie so Riley will be expecting one too (ha!ha!)
