Bereft Of Technology



I have had no computer for ooooh over 2 weeks now. Mine gave up the ghost then the daughter dropped her laptop. Thinking mine would be fixed in a couple of days went about my merry business. But nooooo, that would be way to easy. I am sitting here at my parents house on a computer that is older than God and slower than a really really slow thing. Anyway my point - apologies to all customers and friends if correspondence has been slow or none existent these last few weeks, this is why.



Happier things, I've been a busy bee. Loads to show. Ths first thing is this:


The pattern is from the Debbie Bliss spring summer mag, it was a delight to make and really quick. The kits for these dresses will be available in the shop soon and range from £13.99 to £19.99 depending on the size and which yarn is used. The kit includes a copy of the Debbie Bliss magazine, 1/2 metre of Liberty tana lawn cotton fabric, 1 0r 2 balls (depending on size of garment) of either Debbie Bliss eco baby yarn or Baby Cashmerino yarn and the buttons. The only other things you might need are size 3mm needles which of course are available in the shop if required.

COOL BRITTANIA CUSHION


I made a cushion with some left overs from the quilt. It was nice and quick, 24" cushion and an envelope back. Good thing about this range is the large pattern repeats and block nature of the central design - you can get an effective result without using fiddly small pieces. This was done in a couple of hours. Note the poppy to cover up the dodgy quilting!
The fabrics are due in soon - watch this space.
