Now in between all that creativity, there has been sketching and scheming, home made yogurt making, washing and pegging out done, family meals cooked, desk tidying, shelf tidying, thread reorganising, yarn sorting, and fabric buying. if this weekend proves to be all its promised I should be able to get some decent photos of all these goodies.

Oops I did it again...!

This weeks rescue mission involves 85 cones of yarn! OK so I probably have about 1000 cones already and I probably will never use all of them in my life time but I'm going to have a jolly good try, I have used 3 of the new ones today, but this time I've fallen on a bargain, lots of still in wrapper full cones with bands still attached, the likes of Atkinsons yarns from nearby Wigston.. (sadly no longer with us,) lots of Uppingham specials (these tend to be oddities no names but often Shetland, lambswool, cotton or something equally lovely) Shamal yarns by forsel, bramwell yarns, yeoman and some even from my home town of Bradford,
