I went to another class at Make Cafe last week, this time on paper piecing patchwork. Once I got my head round the technique it was lots of fun, and again the class (a bit bigger than last time) was full of lovely people, so we had a great chat over the sewing machines. The…
Well, my experiment in a new craft is going pretty well so far. It started with a couple of cheap tables off TradeMe and an old dictionary (Warning to bookcrossers and other booklovers, the following images contain graphic scenes of book abuse.

In the end I found one that seemed to resemble what she’d described, so (after a bit of tweaking to adapt it to metric measurements,…
Still here, and still coping, though it’s very much a case of two steps forward and one back. I may write some more about that later, but I don’t feel much like it right now, so instead, muffins! Dad was in town briefly on Friday on his way to a wedding, so he dropped off…
