In addition to the peg bag, fudge and cinnamon buns, there were some other crafty moments this winter…
First foray into socks, albeit worked in the flat… Pattern free here, made in a now discontinued shade of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino 4ply…
First foray into homemade lemon meringue pie using this Waitrose recipe (though I did bake mum’s pastry blind first rather than use a bought crust..). Delish indeed!!
And my second foray into the Granny Stripe for my Mum, who’s ability to drop hints for crafty present requests is nearly as good as mine! I learned from the best…I forgot to take specific pictures – can you tell??
Also – as with all good things in life, what goes around, comes around, and Tilly received some mightily pretty homemade pressies herself…
An amazing replica of a family heirloom made by my Mother-in-Law for the Boy, now duplicated for the Tilster… Fabric alphabet with velcro-ed motifs to be made and added to over the coming years…
And Tilly’s very clever Auntie Cate knocked up this little pinafore in her spare time this autumn, job hunting. I’m delighted to say that she managed great success on both fronts: the frock is a great hit, and she has landed her dream job too, albeit too bl**dy far away, on the other side of the Atlantic…
Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all…
