• SANTA HAT – FREE PATTERN

    December 6, 2019 /

    We are a family of big heads. 😋 We cannot work with the “one size” stuff you get in most shops and often we can’t even fit in the biggest sizes either. So making hats is almost an essential part of survival for…

  • KNITTED CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS

    December 3, 2019 /

    I’m so happy that I’ve finally added my first knitting pattern on my Etsy shop. This has been in the works for a long time. I made the first stocking some years ago when I had finally, after many years of failure, learned…

  • NEW PRINT DESIGNS IN DOC COTTON SHOP

    November 30, 2019 /

    I’ve added some new prints to my Doc Cotton Shop. In the end it was hard to decide which ones I liked the most. I had made so many variations and ideas led to new ideas and suddenly I had over a 100…

  • SKILLS UPDATE NOV 2019: ENTER ADOBE

    November 20, 2019 /

  • A VERY LATE DRAWING UPDATE

    June 19, 2019 /

    I’ve had so many little posts I’ve been meaning to write since April. It just never happens. Mostly because I still haven’t hacked this web image size dilemma.  Regardless of being vector or raster my drawings are way too big for posting, yet…

  • CHARITY SHOPPING

    April 11, 2019 /

    I wanted to write a little entry here about charity shops as they can definitely be called a hobby of mine. Everybody loves a good bargain right? England certainly is a consumer paradise with thousands of shops competing for customers, but what is way…

  • SUPER CHUNKY CROCHET BASKET – FREE PATTERN

    March 30, 2019 /

    Couple of weeks ago we did a little weekend trip to Willingford and I came back with two wonderful wooden crochet hooks. 20mm and 25mm. Testing always takes a little time with new hooks. I think the 25mm will make some nice chunky…
