I’d like this blog to tell a story – the story of what I sew and knit. My other life as a writer and editor is full of stories and it’s taught me that we all love a beginning, a middle, and an end. The end is really important – we always want it to be Happy Ever After, but sewing and knitting have both given me their own lessons. Sometimes the Happy Ever After is elusive. Sometimes That Will Do is the best we can hope for. And that’s okay, because the final lesson of crafting is that none of us are perfect – particularly when we’re brandishing bamboo knitting needles or swearing at a sewing machine.
I won’t be the only person contributing to this blog. We’ll be creating it together. And when more than one person contributes to a story, the possibilities are endless…
Hello Karen,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s nice to find your blog, and another woman sewing in London. I’ll add you to my blog role so I can see when you have new posts and others can too.
Hi Karen.
Just loved your patchwork cheat pillow. It inspired me to make a similar one. Put a note under yours about same along with a link to mine. Both my neighbor (reciepant of my pillow) and I thank you for making the post of same on your site.
Wanted to subscribe to your blog but think I am being a bit dim as can´t work out how to!
