Snippets: Love

I'M LOVING...
...the generous words of support for my mum in advance of her Great British Sewing Bee debut. (Especially the lovely people who have been tagging #teamlynda before even seeing it!) Thank you all your lovely comments.

The full contestant line-up has been announced and I absolutely can not wait to watch the first episode next Tuesday (18th Feb on BBC2 at 8pm). If you've missed the trailer or you're a curious international reader, you can see it on YouTube

Contestants (L to R): Julie, Lynda, Heather, Cerina, Simon, Chinelo, David, Tamara & Jenni

....  that Lynda (Mum!) is wearing my Hitchhiker in the official photo. (Ravelry notes here.) Depending how much of the filmed footage is shown/edited out, there may be more of my handknits on screen - I'll be playing 'spot the scarf' next Tuesday! 

.... Archie's make-over. He's finally a 'proper' Schnauzer and he's even more adorable than before!

.... these Valentine's themed Etsy finds (lots more on my curated page).



There's a lot going on here at the moment - I'm preparing some upcoming interviews, writing a few new patterns and lusting after too many gorgeous things I can't afford to buy for my Cwtch (like this awesome chair), not to mention the boring 'housewifey' things I am supposed to be doing, but will put off for as long as possible. Have a great Monday x

  2. I have to say that I got ridiculously excited pointing your Mum out to my daughter when the trailer for the show was on the other night. Feb 18th is already marked in my diary as a TV watching evening :D

  4. I can't wait to the see the sewing bee and play spot the scarf (and wonder if you've made it). What a sneaky way of getting on tv, he he. You obviously know the result but I will be rooting for your Mum. One of the main reasons being she looks the happiest, smiliest person there. Have a lovely week.

    1. I know!!!!

      When you were about to move and saying you had a secret, it was the same time as the selection process was happening and I said to my mum I wondered if you'd applied! But your move was the surprise! :D
