Living in the middle of the countryside is fabulous, however, there is a serious lack of shops within striking distance. As a result internet shopping has become the way forwards. For a change however I am partaking in a couple of ‘secret swaps’ over the coming months. The first secret swap is with other Etsy based sellers and is due…

Muffin madness

LittleBlackDuckMay 28, 2008

We’ve just had a bank holiday weekend and my intention was to cook muffins for our weekend house guests. Somehow with all of the painting and decorating and general sorting out of the house and garden I managed to not have enough time.

LittleBlackDuckMay 22, 2008

So after a fairly dismal start to my crochet career I have gone back to the book and read and re-read the instructions for double crochet and you know what, I think I may have finally (just about) understood what I’m supposed to be doing! As you can see I’m having a few issues with the linking stitches at the…

All fingers and thumbs

LittleBlackDuckMay 20, 2008

Sitting around in the evenings watching rubbish tv just isn’t enough so I thought I’d teach myself a new craft. I’ve been meaning to learn to crochet for some time now and sadly I have failed to find anyone I know to teach me, so out with a book! I have been learning from Simple Crochet by Erika Knight.

Baby gift for a friend

LittleBlackDuckMay 8, 2008

A very good friend of mine recently gave birth to a baby girl Connie. I’d bought them some clothing but wanted something a bit more special that would last more than a few weeks – wow babies grow fast!
