For a woman who is supposed to have been having a bit of R&R I've been rather busy plotting and planning!   But all in a good cause.  I am thrilled to announce that I have been asked by Inverness Airport to have a stand at the airport for the duration of the Scottish Barclay Open Golf tournament  […]

If you could see me now!

I am in the final, panic-ridden stages of preparing for Woolfest at the end of this week.  Will I have enough yarn.  Do I have the right balance and mix of colours?  Do I have the right mix of bases?  Will I have room in Mungo for everything I want to take?  Will people come?  Will they like my  […]

Katrina and Ian have been enjoying the surrounding countryside which is completely different to where they live in Florida.  We took advantage of a sunny day today to walk along the cliffs between Clachtoll and Stoer beaches.  From the house we made our way to Clachtoll beach, stopping only to  […]

Shop News

Just popping in here to say that I've amended the price of the greetings cards to include P&P.   I was having trouble getting the correct postage price for the cards, and the P&P was too much, so I have decided to include P&P in the price shown.   I don't want to make any profit from the  […]
