Yes - I made it from an Ehrman kit. And now it brightens up my home office chair and provides much needed back support if I’m staring at my laptop too much :)

I’ve made this one - it’s lovely when finished

That’s a beauty!

A flash back to last weekend when we visited @amgueddfacymru.bsky.social St Ffagans Museum of Welsh Life and accidentally came third in the pub quiz at The Vulcan (the other half of our group won it). A lovely day #stffagans #afinedayout

I’ve been eyeing this one up for a while - such a great shape. Maybe I should get in and make it.

Blue skies and the sun on my face are the best pick me up. I’m hoping spring is finally here #bristolinspringtime #cheery

From over here it looks like a lot of the Democrats are asleep. Faint choruses of “they can’t do that” are not much good when they clearly are already doing that! Much power to you, the people, to resist, resist, resist ♥️

Very fine scandi salt box added to my dresser collection this week. I try not to buy too much these days but sometimes something is just right and has to be brought home. #scandiceramics #midcenturyceramics #dresserstilllife

This seems like a very nice rhythm. I do all those things too, but more sporadically. I’m just coming out of a deep needlepoint phase :)

Some day a small child may ask you to make them a cheese with a hole in it big enough for their stuffed robin to sit in. Should that happen to you I am ideally placed to advise on fulfilling their request #godchildrenarefabulous #iamamaker

Lots of rest this weekend, sitting on my sofa, working on some craft projects and looking at one I just finished. It’s been a good one. #takingarest #iamamaker #makersky

Spring is definitely coming - some lovely light in the mornings this week

I love that quite a bit!

It’s great to read how you are settling in in Somerset - sounds ridiculous after so long but your post has a real flavour of that to it. I’m glad you three (including Fred the Cat of course) are happy x

Another piece of my work back from the lovely Sara Barns and transformed into a very fine cushion. Mr T thinks he will be able to cremate me on a raft of them when I go. He may not be entirely incorrect …

Good morning, Tiger ♥️

I went to see the Tirzah Garwood exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery at the weekend - go if you can as it was lovely

I know the part you mean! I skipped it and carried on when I read it as I wanted to know what happened to Anna, not to potatoes.

In the Mughal Empire the devil wore Liberty, apparently #dailyphoto #dailypicture #girlabouttown #v&a

Today we discovered a hitherto unexplored corner of the British Museum which housed many beautiful things, including this very fine goat #dailyphoto #dailypicture #vscox #girlabouttown

In That London for a few days. Glad to be here but also glad we don’t live here any more #dailyphoto #dailypicture #vscox #girlabouttown

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

Yes - we have quite a lot of garden things from London that haven’t yet found their place. I am sure you will sort things out quicker than we have :)

If it could stop raining now that would be cool, mkay? #apparentlyitsspring #dailyphoto #dailypicture #vscox

Another pic from the Bristol Light Festival to celebrate what I hope will become a real alternative to Instagram. Let’s get testing, folks! #dailyphoto #dailypicture #vscox #girlaboutanothertown

Orange sky at night, accountant‘s delight? #girlaboutanothertown #dailyphoto #dailypicture #vscox

A lovely evening stroll around the Bristol Light Festival this evening followed by delicious Vietnamese food. Off to bed soon, full and happy and ready for another week #girlaboutanothertown #bristollightfest2025

Today is St Brigid’s Day / Imbolc / Candlemas /the first day of Spring. Whatever your tradition let’s be happy that in the Northern Hemisphere at least the light is coming back and things are starting to grow. The picture is The Coming Of Bride by John Duncan

I gave up Facebook last year but haven’t detached from Instagram and WhatsApp yet. I think it’s coming though.

Sneaky beaky keeping an eye on the world as I was on my way to Pilates today
