Speciality Dragonscale Crochet 🐉 & terrible puns
Pinned
In June we made birthday cards and then did either flower themed weaving or string art

Spent the afternoon trying to fit a quart in a pint pot, or in other words tidying the craft stash.

A sizable amount cleared out/reorganised & the yarn adjacent stuff moved to the yarn stash.

The RU Boxes are full of care home crafts and I may have a washi tape addiction.

Blue Monday is fake (made up by a marketing agency so you'll book holidays) but blue labradorite is real.

A reminder that mathematical modellers and psychologists have conclusively demonstrated that "Blue Monday" is the most dispiriting day of the year to be a mathematical modeller or a psychologist.

First crochet of 2026 completed,
a hexagon cardigan using Riot DK in Autumn.

Perfect timing for Saturday's crochet class where I'll be teaching the group granny squares.

New journal day! ✍️

It's nice if I can keep it pretty but it's more important to keep me organised

New art doll available on my website.
She is unique, original and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect ❤️

Need to find a better background than our pale walks but here are 3 types of paper snowflake/star that we'll be making in the Care Homes this month

I wanted to get a picture before they get crumpled in transit

Another very nice 5⭐ review for the beginners crochet class.

Makes my day every time ☺️

A few spaces left in the January class if you want to start a new hobby in 2026

I can change my clock in the car but has anyone worked out how to put the cat back an hour?

I've been really slack posting the crafting we've been doing in the Residential Care Homes this year.

I'm going to rectify that so I'm working backwards...

It's lovely waking up to another crochet class review. 🧶
And I promise there's no manic laughter when I pull back someone's work. 😁

A sunny day after the rain.
Started with a slight autumnal chill which means it's time to re-start the crochet classes at The Wool Haven

James is annoyed that we won't let him outside in the storm and has spent ALL DAY in his feeding cubbyhole

At the end of my week off and it's flown by.
I'm finishing the post new bathroom cleaning blitz with the Terry Pratchett bookshelf (or shrine as it's generally referred to)

Just listed 10 shining new labradorite pendants - who wants to take home their very own glow?

I need to make rent this week and it's my birthday the week after, so I'm hoping for a little Bluesky magic.

I was aiming to make yoghurt but the milk was "on the turn" and I think I've got cottage cheese.
Tastes like it

A little something for 'Summer Daze'. This is an original abstract artwork of wildflowers, that has a hazy summer feel to it. The original will be looking for a home when the shop reopens.
