Easy Crustless Quiche Muffins

Love quiche but leave the pastry? Want a quick and easy, grab and go breakfast? Problem solved! Much as I love a good quiche filling I always end up leaving the pastry on the plate. So a few years ago I decided I would solve my dilemma by making my[Read more]

The best Sweetcorn Chowder Recipe

I don’t know about your house but in my house at meal times I often hear that delightful refrain from my kids of “Yuck, I’m not eating that!” This is particularly true when vegetables are involved. There are not that many meals that everyone in this house enjoys with no complaints[Read more]

Aahhh the smell of home-baked bread

Like many of you I have had a bread-maker for quite a few years now, though it spends most of its time sitting lonely on a shelf. But every now and then I feel the need to be an earth mother and out it comes to fill the house with[Read more]

My latest punch needle project is this cute wall h My latest punch needle project is this cute wall hanging. I used a frame rather than hoop for this one and wasn’t happy with the way the fabric loosened as I punched, even though it was well stretched and securely attached. I think maybe a sturdier frame would work better so I might have to get hubby to make one for me. The hobbycraft frame I used for this won’t go to waste though as I have an Autumn project in mind to repurpose it. I’ll get round to putting up a blog post with what I used for this in a day or two but hubby is off at the moment so we are trying to finish off lots of jobs round the house. 
What are you working on at the moment @weehenmoments @andrinathomas @thefudgeitcrafter

Having not done punch needle for years it was grea Having not done punch needle for years it was great to get back in to it with this cute kit from @simplecraftedlife . I love all forms of needlework and usually have so many WIPs that it’s hard to decide what to finish first which is why punch needle is so good because small designs are so quick. Now my head is full of designs I want to create and my unfinished crochet pile is moving further down the list and my latest cross stitch chart will never make it online 😂
