We’ve arrived in 2013, it’s stopped raining and the sun’s come out and there are blue skies! I can see loads of happy dog walkers on the Downs. I’m taking that as a good omen for the year ahead. It’s amazing that even in the deepest, darkest depths of winter you can go out and … Read more

I never make resolutions, I make restitutions! I reckon that resolutions are really made to fix up what’s not gone right in the previous year. So what are my Restitutions for 2013. Well here they are and as they say on Strictly they are  in no particular order…………. Travel more but not necessarily to foreign … Read more

My winter sale has started in my shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/CrystalMoonCat  

Thought I’d unchain myself from the craft room and get a bit of fresh air. I love going round the local RSPB reserve, a lovely walk and they do a cracking cuppa in their cafe. A really misty murky day but loads of birds to be seen. Caught a glimpse of a Jay and a … Read more

Apologies for long absence.  I’ve been busy creating lovely new bags and purses for the shop . I’ve invested in a new embroidery sewing machine and I’m having fun experimenting with many new designs.

I love alpine plants, to me they’re small but perfectly formed! I bought some from the local garden centre at the weekend. They had a few flowers on then, but now they’ve really taken off and are blooming their little socks off! Saxifraga Touran Neon Rose Aubrieta Deep Purple Houstonia Millards Variety I bought this … Read more

Thought I would go wildflower hunting at the RSPB this morning as the weather was glorious – lovely light, low Spring sun, just gorgeous. Got to the other side of the Downs and I couldn’t see 20 feet in front of me! Thick pea souper of a fog, real Jack the Ripper stuff. Forged ahead … Read more

The Mr P I’m referring to is Sir Terry Pratchett author of the fantasy Discworld series and other brilliant tales. I discovered his novels one day in my local library. They had a display of well known authors’ own favourite authors. I noted that somebody called Terry Pratchett listed Spike Milligan as his favourite. I … Read more
