Yarn Bombing 2019
I have exciting news! It’s our local community Arts Trail again, and like last time I’m yarn bombing a tree. This year each crafter could pick their own theme, so after careful consideration I have decided to yarn bomb my tree with little hats for the Innocent Big Knit campaign!

Allotment Lessons Learnt, Part One
In 2018 we took on our first allotment and I’m completely hooked! Getting out into the fresh air and working hard whilst letting your mind wander is marvellous! We’ve learnt a lot this year, mainly due to the extreme weather of 2018, so I thought I would share our the lessons learnt from the first year of the allotment, to see if anyone else finds them useful.

Little Songbird Knitting Co. Cellular Blanket
Sorry for the radio silence, but… I’ve had a baby! Baby ‘I’ was born in July weighing a healthy 7.11lbs! She was 1 week late, and is completely beautiful. I’ve been getting to grips with being a mummy and don’t seem to have time for much else, hence why there has been no post for the last 7 months!

April WIPS 2018
This post about my April WIPS will hopefully see the start of a new series of monthly posts where I do a monthly WIP update. I know I’ve tried to do series before and have always failed, but I’m hoping this one will be different and I’ll actually manage to stick to it!

Derby International Women’s Day 2018
As you may have guessed from the title, this post is all about Derby International Women’s Day! For anyone who doesn’t know, International Women’s Day was on March 8th and it’s all about celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It’s also about moving towards gender parity and inclusivity, which I love!
