Me and my family

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.

An amusing thing happened the other day. I got a sale through Etsy (no that’s not the strange thing) for one of my new business card holders and an embroidered leather cosmetics bag, however earlier that day the same person was shopping in Dunkeld in Scotland and picked up one of my suede pencil rolls from a local shop called…

Gardening for beginners – 365/1

LittleBlackDuckApril 28, 2008

As spring is here (almost) I have decided to join the Gardening 365 group on Flickr. We’re not terribly good at gardening in our house as these house plants will testify to…. …there is hope, however, as I seem to have been able to keep an orchid alive! After the flowers have had their time and haev dropped off I’m…
