I confess I have a little obsession. I travel alot both in and out of Australia. Doing road trips in Australia I have a habit of dropping into op (charity) shops and searching for leftover balls of wool people denote. I like to make ‘scrap wool’ double thick throws from these random balls. Most I gift out but I keep one or two like this one. By double thick I mean I use two strands of yarn. This one suits a double bed. This magnificent obsession has two obvious ends: giving funds to a charity and making an extra warm throw to give away (friends or charities) or keep.
This site is to show off my hobby of creative hand sewing. It has been a love of mine since I was 10 years old. Now, not only is it a very meditative past time, but it also exercises my eye & hand co-ordination after a battle with a huge brain tumour that didn't take my life but it took from me a lot of skills I took for granted. NOTHING ON THIS SITE IS FOR SALE. Items I make are for me, my family, my friends and occasionally, charity. Enjoy!
