I’ve just browsed through the last page worth of posts that we’ve made on here and can’t help noticing that the amount of MadeStuff has somewhat tailed off of late, indeed, I currently have NO crafting projects under-way at the minute.

We’re back from our holidays both refreshed and exhausted. There are almost 600 photos to sort through; it could be some time before we emerge from the digital darkroom! In the meantime here’s a picture of Stac Pollaidh at sunrise. The view from our holiday cottage to this hill was uninterrupted and seemed to change [...]
Over the years I have amassed quite a collection of vintage buttons. This morning I set out to sort my buttons, after all what else is there to do on a wet and windy Sunday afternoon? The following pictures show the results of a day of hard labour with the button tins. first I organised them [...]
