My blog is in memory of my lovely cheeky little cockerel Denzil. (Named after one of my favourite actors) He died last autumn. I never thought a little chicken could have such a presence in our family life, but he did!
I really miss his crafty little visits into our house, watching him perch on the log basket in the kitchen and warming himself next to the fire or the sight of him running across the lawn when he heard me opening the back door on returning home from work. He loved a cuddle and a fuss and I have happy memories of him sat between my daughter and I, enjoying a spot of sun while we crafted away.
I work full time but enjoy making lots of things and hope to share this on my blog. I shall endeavour to post at least once a week and would be more than happy to share information, provide any help and to share lovely things and ideas that I come across.

Nearly there!

Such a demanding and tiring week at work.  I found it so helpful to do my embroidery to take my mind off work. Although I was absolutely knackered. Anyway almost finished my Rowandean i just have the mountains and foreground tree to finish - so nearly completed.



 I bought some Drops Safran wool for my proposed Debbie Bliss Baby blanket. I want to make it in 4 ply blue cotton with the brown teddies for my friend's daughter's new baby Charlie ! I'm going to adapt it slightly though by knitting the motifs separately and then crocheting them together.
I finished some other baby patterns from Debbie Bliss for my mum's friend - who is a new granny.
  Excuse the cat she wouldn't budge!


My other ongoing project is 'The Bee Keeper's Quilt' from Stephanie Dosen. I love her knitting patterns and at Christmas treated myself to her book. I am so spoilt for choice but might make some felted antler hats for next Christmas later in the year.
