Well I have been very bad, I have not Blogged since April! I’m not going to give you any excuses apart from the fact I have been busy sewing. Yes thats it, I have been making lots of different things and honestly, became caught up in it. As you know my blog posts are, generally, […]
Well this is really a question I have asked a few times. Why do I bother blogging at all? It all started, as you probably know, when I decided to keep a record of my sewing. We are nearly 2 years in and, surprisingly, I’m still going. Ok this year I’ve not blogged nearly as […]
