Soft, cosy and made by hand. This lilac, light grey and white baby blanket has a Fair Isle-inspired design and is just the right size for prams, pushchairs and newborn cuddles. knittingtopia.etsy.com/listing/4572... #craftbizparty #MHHSBD #Etsy #BabyBlanket

September craft classes going well. Both the coaster painting & pompom hedgehogs have been popular with the residents Now getting ready for October. First theme is Halloween crafts so fibre filled balloon pumpkins as carving tumshies would take too long

Successful yellow sticker haul at M&S today. 2 pots Scottish double cream plus a lot of shaking = just under 400gm butter + 200 ml buttermilk. Will be making scones tomorrow 😋

Hello September. The temperature has dropped, rain has appeared, it feels like #autumn is here (rather than the trees worryingly dropping leaves due to thirst) and that all means full blown #spookyseason mode! 🧙‍♀️🌛 #witchy #mhhsbd

Almost ready for this month's #CareHome craft classes. Sample coaster decorated with acrylic paint pens now drying. Then pompom hedgehogs. I need to pick up some brown felt for a nose and possibly pink felt for feet. Googly eyes to finish.
Square wooden coaster with concentric circles of red, orange, brown, green and gold dotsBrown pompom with a green ribbon

Started August #CareHomeClasses with water marbling, it's one of the most popular activities. Then finished with some cardboard basket making.

Go self employed they said, you can choose your own hours. 😂 Who in their right mind chooses to have a 5am alarm in a Sunday morning. Oh yes that would be us 😂 as we are back in Haworth today at the Haworth Craft Fairs event. Hoping for a better day than yesterday. #ukgiftam #ukgifthour

New review in! If you are in the Glasgow area and want to try your hand at crochet our next set of classes start 12th September (link in post below)
5 stars
Excellent relaxed class for beginners!

As a knitter, learning to crochet has always been on my "to do" list.
The relaxed classes were an excellent introduction and very enjoyable. I feel I have a better grasp, having tried books/YouTube before, and look forward to my first "creation". Thank you!

Our blackberries started ripening at the end of July & it looks we're going to get a lot so I tried my first attempt at blackberry vodka. It has herbs so it's medicinal 😬 3 weeks later it's strained and bottled. Just too much to fit in the bottle... It's like the world's tastiest cough medicine

Late posting of July's #CareHomeCraftClasses We started with paper fan decorating. It followed with a choice of mandala scratch art, painting acrylic flowers decorations for those that 2 classes a month.

I've done some crochet! A friend asked if I'd ever done mosaic work as she was struggling with a pattern by @BebaBlanket There was only one way to find out, so here's my first mosaic crochet square & my friend is now happily working on her blanket 🧶

On #InternationalBogDay, here's some beauties, all UK native wildflowers, ideal for the damper spots in your garden. Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), Marsh-mallow (Althaea officinalis) and Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris). See ALT text for more info 🐝 #MHHSBD

A picture of Meadowsweet flowers which are creamy white and have a frothy appearance with a Hoverfly feeding from them.
Will attract and feed Bees, Hoverflies, Moths and indirectly, Bats.

Marsh-mallow is quite late flowering, (usually August here in Scotland) and attracts and provides food for Bees, Hoverflies, Moths and indirectly, Bats.

I can't seem to get motivated this year, luckily the herb circle & fruit trees generally take care of themselves. Strawberries were a literal wash out, the honeyberry & blackcurrants are still settling but the bramble looks like it's going to be prolific. We've already pulled some! #Garden2026 🌱
