Oh blog. It’s been quiet here, I know. Aside from some technological shenanigans, I’ve just been kind of slumpy with regards to crafty things and blogging in general. I have WIPs everywhere, both fabric and knitting. But that’s starting to change and I figured it was time to get back on the horse and what better way than to start with an extremely fun experience?

Due to the wonders of twitter, last Saturday saw me turning up at the newly opened and beautifully appointed location of Homemade London as a willing volunteer for their press photos photoshoot.

It was a small affair but lovely, with four other crafty volunteers, we busily tried out all the stitch options on Homemade London’s sewing machines, talked about crafty things, tried our best not to freeze up on camera and discovered that London is ridiculously small for somewhere so big, with mutual friends and ‘I know you from somewhere!’ moments popping up unexpectedly.
We drank tea and champers and ate absolutely gorgeous cakes and generally had a fabulous time. Nicola, from Homemade London is a delight and I can’t wait to go on one of the classes (as a disclosure, volunteering got me a voucher for a class) – Jam has already been on one, the scent class and really enjoyed it but I’ll leave that to her to write about (HINT HINT!) – and it certainly served as an excellent kick in the rear about blogging again!
Which, in related news, you may notice a selection of linklog posts have popped up recently. I’ve been tweaking the settings and have hopefully managed to get it set up to post once a week with all the crafty links I come across while I’m meandering the web. There’s also still a few things I need to tweak on the main layout but hopefully they’ll be sorted shortly.
