September 2026

Hi, welcome to my corner of blogland.

Gingers have been acting as #Craftivism ambassadors: reminding people about Talk like a pirate day, sewing month, prostate cancer awareness month and honey month amongst others




September was a hand sewing month for me - due to nearly half the month we were in Norway.  This was our home for some of that time.




Fabulous to be able to sit and admire the view and sew!

Even an on-board iron so I could press seams!

Luckily I brought another project too!


And some embroidery too, since made into zippy pouches for friends' birthdays

I loved this reflection of the shop in an office window

We saw SO many small red boathouses, this was my favourite

There were amazing waterfalls too



Soon after we returned it was my birthday.  I got this lovely sashiko set from Plum


And this beautiful elegant pot for lavender from Lisa and Jim

And now apparently it's October already - although the weather is still perfect!

  1. I'm not sure that you need the sashiko stencils to mark things out - your hand embroidery on the pouch is SO neat and even (and I love it, thank you!).
    You suite on the ship looks amazing - I'm very jealous of your fab sounding / looking trip!
    As ever, good work with the Gingers too - so much fun to see what they are championing! xx

  2. I appreciate the focus on efficiency without sacrificing the final quality.
