    I know a lot of people here are into knitting, crochet, embroidery, and other complementary-to-sewing crafts. I thought it might be fun to have a little nook of our own.

    Some of my favorite knitting patterns are from Brooklyn Tweed, so when they finally came out with a children’s collection I was thrilled. I’ve made one cardigan already and was…[Read more]

  • Just had a peek — yum! My favorite soup uses kaffir leaves and galangal, your curry looks delicious and I love fresh spices.

  • I think even a lot of people who are not veg/vegan themselves are very interested in incorporating more vegetables. I look forward to checking your blog!

  • I’m in the process of trying to make the swoon cardigan fit my shape. The back piece is done, I’m nearly finished the side piece then just the centre front and sleeves to go. Each piece has at 3-4 mods on it and some have to be taken over all pieces! I hope it works as I bought some lovley drapey stretch lace when I was in Melbourne on the weekend…[Read more]

    Jay, I hope you adjust soon. What an adventure.

    Jenny, enjoy your sewing space. I hope young Missy (Gigi? love that name) likes her new room.

    I’m frustrated waiting til our stuff arrives, and I buy a new sewing machine. I have two lovely lengths of wool to make a pencil skirt and a pair of wide leg, high waist trousers. Meanwhile, I’m working on a cardigan I’ve been knitting since before Audrey was born. I’ve just got to finish the tops of both sleeves and sew it together.
    I’m all…[Read more]

    Well, I’m back!
    First thing’s first though – congratulations,Tamara, on the eventually safe, but traumatic arrival of baby Chloe! Getting some counselling to deal with it sounds likes good idea if it is bothering you.
