Regular readers will realise that there has been something of a focus on gardening, growing, polytunnels and stuff on this blog over the last few months … in fact some might say there has been a general focus on grown stuff, given that I have decided to launch a new site focusing purely on this [...]

Jolene loves these wild daisies that flower in masses up and down the sides of roads, motorways and any other wild verge they can gain a foothold in … little wonder then that a small colony has established themselves in the garden!? They are tremendously nice, although they’re currently competing with some ground elder that [...]
In the last 4 weeks we’ve had both of our booked craft fairs whipped out from under our feet, due to no fault of our own I hasten to add. The first thanks to the council library failing to sort out the right licence from, well, the council; the second being cancelled for who knows [...]
… and still I’m gripped by an inability to craft, seized as I am between an unfinished poly-tunnel and the start of the school summer holidays. Progress on the poly-tunnel is slow, although there is at least progress with the door-frames having been erected since my last update, leaving only the base-rail to attach, the [...]
I mentioned previously that I’ve been busy putting together the poly-tunnel (amongst other things) hence the dearth of actual crafts of late, although I think the tunnel may actually qualify under the auspices that it is ‘Stuff’ what has been ‘Made’!? Failing that Jolene has been working on a couple of bits n’ bobs that [...]
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. I’ve been too busy cutting the grass … What I do have on the [...]
I think I may be becoming a fanatic, well, maybe not quite; although I did find myself outside in the rain this morning pulling weeds and re-arranging pots!? The garden really has quite a lure to me, being confined to quarters over the winter and suffering a wee bit with cabin fever really makes you [...]
Last time I made a post like this one the weather turned foul, so it’s with some hesitation I make another! The weather though has improved some in the last week or two, which is great news given that we seem to have had the longest, coldest winter certainly in my memory and as the [...]
Spring always seems to drag it’s feet when it comes to arriving at our rural idyll so I’m sure you’ll forgive me the posting of some piccies I took yesterday when the garden seemed to be alive with bees … except for when I wanted to photograph them! I promise you some more crafty goodness [...]
Recently in the MadeStuff house there has been a tidying up effort. Many of our supplies have been stored in the one room that we really need to renovate so Alasdair has been busy boxing up supplies and moving them to another room while I’ve been busy making new things out of old supplies! Last [...]
