I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Super stocking stuffer


Father Christmas was extremely clever in finding some interesting things for me this year (I must have been very good!) This small book is a wonderful resource of ideas and inspiration and I'm especially intrigued by the "multigarment" formed from a rectangle of fabric with a few slits cut in. Reminds me of my teaching days, when one fun project was to get all the children making waistcoats to wear, made from paper laminated with Marvin Medium (PVA) They loved the whole process, were totally absorbed in the idea of being able to wear their own artwork and wore them proudly out of school on the last day of term.
