Songs, skirts and scones

After a drop a of blood, some sweat, and nearly some tears, I have finished Scottie Dog. My colleague will return to work from his paternity leave and tomorrow is presents time. After having stuffed Scottie away a few times (it wasn’t as easy to sew the sides on as I thought) and after ripping the seams of the sides panels three times, I finally got him stitched up and standing on his own two feet! I think he is rather cute. Not mother’s finest, if you’ll pardon the pun, but cute nonetheless!

This blog is about what I sing, sew and bake. Although no expert at any of this, I get inmense pleasure from learning another song whilst doing the dishes, sewing together a nice bag or baking a sumptuous cake! As long as I have my recipes, patterns (and sewing machine!) and recordings at hand, I am not at all bad!
For myself, I hope the blog will be a nice record of the things I make and do; for visitors, I hope that it will inspire people to go and try what they want to, even if they think they cannot do it!
