Introducing Fred

Now that my blog is up and running I thought I should introduce my travelling companion - Fred. Fred has been my long suffering pin cushion sitting beside my machine for many years. I am not sure how he came to be part of my household but inspite of feeling pinned down on a daily basis he has stuck with me. Fred lives on my sewing table or in my sewing basket and is always part of the next creative activity I embark on. He has seen the midnight oil burn on a number of occasions and even witnessed an all night sewing session to get a gazebo cover complete for a party the following day. So here is Fred at home.

Just for a lark

Setting up this blog and thinking of the rhymes and reasons for doing this has been challenging. 'Oh it is so easy'- say most of you avid bloggers, but trust me I have been working at this little space for some time. It still needs tweeking and improving but it is a start to something that will be fun for me to do and if you should happen to take the time to get involved I hope fun for you to read. Preparing is so much a part of the journey so here goes...ready steady jump into this new adventure.
