I feel like I have been playing a little bit of catch-up this month with the Temperature Quilt, school half-term in the middle really threw off my schedule…I need to get sorted before Easter and Summer!

I heart mug rugs
But what exactly is a mug rug I hear you ask. Its sort of like a suped-up quilted coaster. I know…we all need them! They are designed to be bigger than a regular coaster because the idea is that they can fit a mug as well as a biscuit or small piece of cake…amazing, right?!Continue reading “I heart mug rugs”

I’m going to do a Temperature Quilt. Temperature blankets are all the rage at the moment but as I can’t knit or crochetContinue reading “Temperature Quilt: sew along for more fun”
WAHMs are for life, not just for Christmas
As the dust settles on another Christmas, my thoughts have turned to handmade businesses and more specifically the small, work-at-home-mum (WAHM) run businesses.
