Here are some things made in the wee quinnie household. I am in no way smug about this - as everything involved a bit of bodging together and is in some degree not how the pattern (if there was one) dictated. Look at my threads sticking out!



So lets see some of your handiwork peeps - the more ramshackle/homespun the better.

I made a knitted hat once at school (aged 8) but disgraced myself by taking 3 terms to do it instead of the regulation 1 term. All the other kids made a skirt which they modelled at the end of the year in a catwalk show, while I sat glumly in the audience clutching my knitted hat.

I have had a poke around the paint tins in the cellar, and I think it is Soft Fauna 3 by Dulux.


It was one we ripped off from the Tate Britain collection I think. Light greeny blue.


When Dulwich Picture Gallery did their changing faces of childhood (or whatever it was called) exhibition a few months back, I sent them a mail to find out what paint they'd done the walls in - felt a bit wierd about that as I thought the expo was rubbish.

I can't knit or sew ? and I'm always impressed that (blatant sexism alert) women seem to know how to. I like fixing things though. Here's a staircase I spent rather too long on a while back. The before pic doesn't really show just how bad it was to begin with ??someone had cut all the edges off the stair treads. Why, I do not know.

Fabulous one and all.

Love the old dial telephone too!!

I made a fabulous delicious carrot cake last week for a friend who had been very kind to me in recent troubles.

It decorated it with walnuts and grapes.

It was ate before I could find me camera!

I don't much enjoy cooking but now and again I get the urge and surprise the hell out of everyone.

Nice one Peckham Rose - I do like a good carrot cake. Yum yum.


As regards the old dial phone - it is actually a push button digital, cunningly styled to look like the old ones. Has a very nice bell ring sound as well.


If you buy the dial ones that are on sale around ED at the mo., you will prob find that when the analogue signal gets switched off in the not too distant future...they aren't going to work for outgoing calls!

It should work for incoming calls though.
