New skills and old projects


This is a good time to complete (or dispose of!) any half-finished projects. I have managed five so far. It is also a time to try new skills and knowledge.  Apparently, the most popular craft are at the moment is Crochet.  I have been trying it for the first time myself and have found the video assistance of Alison Russell to be excellent.  There are so many ideas on YouTube, many of them involving household items (forks, strainers!)
The Embroiderers Guild offers online courses  and Hobbycraft offer project ideas on their website. 

But don't neglect your baking

Lockdown jobs

The first day of lockdown, I decided to sort out some of my stuff.  I began with the embroidery silks which were a tangled mess.  I had a suitable box and ordered the cards online.  Looks better don't you think!


I need to buy more purples, I must have used them all up.
