@Greenpip, thank you!
He is very supportive of my sewing, I am lucky.

(And, just quietly, he is super chuffed by your comments)

I’ll let Brittney speak for herself, but yes, I think we’re all close to ready. I’ll trace off the Tea Party so I’m ready to go. How are your schedules looking, gals?

I had to make a last minute pencil case for my son! His one from last year has mysteriously disappeared. Good thing I have ample amounts of train fabric and long zips on hand.

Still working on completing the Angel tops and knickers – fingers crossed I get another chance in the sewing room today.

justsewit replied to the topic Easter Sewing in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

I have this little dress I have been itching to make from Australian Smocking and Embroidery (issue number will come to mind shortly I hope) called Mignonette. It involves smocking, insertion lace and embroidery down the centre of a t shaped panel. Whether I will get to it for Easter or not is one thing as it falls early this year. But the aim is…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic What do you watch while you craft? in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Don’t be ashamed! That show has some really good writing. It never really ‘grabbed’ me but I could appreciate the workmanship that went into. I like pretty much everything on your list, so I’ll have to check out the few I don’t watch already. Have you seen Top of the Lake? I don’t think I could knit through it, it’s too wrenching, but if you can…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Getting iron into your diet in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

A bean soup with with wilted kale/spinach stirred in at the end should hit the spot — I don’t like chard but love kale, but you could use whichever green your daughter likes best:

My favourite was to cook a steak to medium rare and whist it was resting, make a green salad with baby spinach and sliced mushrooms and then slice the steak in strips and stir through the salad dressing with a mango puree (sometimes a little sweet chilli).

Lucky girl to have a doting mum.

Sounds lovely Linda, I do so love that dress.

That is a seriously cute raincoat.

Thank you, again, so much Girls.
Sarvi started the topic What do you watch while you craft? in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

I found this interesting thread:

What’s your favorite movie to knit to?

after searching for good movies or shows to watch while knitting. My Netflix queue is split into more serious films to which I’d like to give my full attention, and stuff I think might be good for my daughter but that won’t be in the…[Read more]
Sarvi posted an update in the group Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

Any boulangers in the house? I spent a lot of time cultivating my sourdough starter last year, but killed it as it seemed to be the only way to stop myself eating two loaves of bread a week. Since then, I’ve tried twice to restart but both times my starter died, so baffling! I think possibly I was feeding it too infrequently (I think my home is…[Read more]

Hello and welcome! I’m in the middle of a big parcel of work right now but I’m knitting away at this:

Arlo

in a dark grey Madelinetosh Vintage and am just thrilled with it so far. I LOVE the tubular cast-on, it just looks so great. Where has this cast-on been all my life?
