Baby Steps

My socks are coming on slowly. The first sock has two toes!!!


(Sorry- that looks more like a form of torture than a craft project!)

I am trying to eat more healthily, but today it is cold and I had a craving for warm custard and ginger cake.

 (Don't tell anyone- neither were home made)

Remember this?

Since then, I have added some lovely, meandering pathways and today I am beginning to quilt it using mostly free-motion machine quilting. It is quite nerve-wracking, so fortified by cake, I will be taking it slowly and pausing at each step to make sure I am on the right track.

  2. I love the picture it's gorgeous! The socks are looking great and the gingerbread is great for a winters day, I never make mine either, maybe I should look for a good recipe! :) x
