With Thanks

Just before Christmas I won a giveaway over on FrogslegsNvaseline.
Look who came to live with me.......

Fern !
Isn't she the cutest little monkey you have ever seen. She is all woolly and gorgeous and has the cutest little thumbs in the world. Thanks so much Chris.
The day Fern arrived I also got a beautifully wrapped parcel from Karen of Selvageblog

eeek................ a teeny tiny little quilt cupboard. How clever is this? And Karen sent this to me "just because". Just because she is lovely -obviously. Thanks Karen, it is a hoot!

You guys know that this is the only way I will ever have a cupboard full of quilts.

So while the sewing room is undergoing some serious renovations (That's a big fat lie, it is just a phenomenal mess). Fern and my little cupboard are sitting on the mantelpiece, overseeing the left-overs being eaten , the children kicking back, and me drawing and redrawing and swearing at some new projects.

  10. I agree with Lady Hopwood. Fern makes me rethink the whold knitting thing. She's amazing, though I couldn't get a very good look at her thumbs. :>}

  18. I bought a couple of those little wooden cupboards years ago, but had no idea what to do with them, so I ended up selling them in a yard sale! Great idea!
