A quick request.

If you are visiting this site (particularly from the US) please help support our campaign against the Chinese fur trade. I run a seperate family friendly blog on the subject…see Boris’s campaigning blog on right. Please visit it and pass the details on to friends. The Chinese skin animals WHILE STILL CONSCIOUS for the fur trade and a large proportion is sent to the US market mislabelled as rabbit etc. and sold as trinkets toys etc. This is a disgraceful way to treat animals and completely unnecessary. Please boycott Chinese fur and pass the message on.

Thank you

My 2nd ever homespun…..

Well, it took me forever and a day but I finally finished my 2nd ever homepsun item. The first thing I made was  a hat. To be honest this is hardly spectacular but we all have to start somewhere. I spun it on  spindle, I havent graduated to a spinning wheeel yet.

I am currently crocheting the worlds most boring jumper…………………………I started it ages ago and need to get it finished…………………..its made with commercial yarn, but is so dull to do!!

my main problem was getting it even but the uneven parts have evened out!

Mad about craftwork of all kinds

I spend as much time as I can spare doing just about everykind of craft that you can think of, knitting, crochet, rug making, embroidery, and so on and so on. So if you like any of those things why not join me? My other passion is BORIS ( the wondercat) He has his own blog, but just to make sure you know who he is here is his profile.

8 years old, tragically struck down with Pancreatitus (aged 3!) which gave him diabetes, plus a cardiac murmur and funny kidneys. But he triumphed over it all.  Heres his pic, isnt he wonderful?

Hes waving hallo, lethargically
