Cottage artisans

 Well. Hopefully, this is the start of a whole new era. Mainly because I had to move and with very little money, few of my possessions and with no friends or family. So here I am in Derbyshire.  I DO love Derbyshire, though. So, no stall, no goods to speak of, a house that needs a lot of renovation and the dog.  In the first lockdown, I was still hopeful of having a stall before Christmas. Ok, so all the work I did then is now in boxes waiting for another Christmas! Who knew?  But at least I'm ready for the next one. This current lockdown has been useful. I'm making skirts for my 3 granddaughters. Each one a different colour and a different style (after all, at 15, 12 and 10, they definitely don't want to look the same as each other). I hand sew in the evenings when I sit down with the television on one side and Alfie (the dog) snoring on the other! I'm currently using this opportunity to finish a pieced quilt. Don't worry, though, I have more ideas in the pipeline....
