Emma's Handmade Home
As I stated in my previous post, I love blogs.

As with so many, my main problem is that I'm easily distracted - I have a number of projects on the go, with various bags packed full of wool/threads/fabric stuffed in various cubbyholes around my house. I also have a very understanding husband. I hope that by writing this blog, it will remind me of all the things I've made : it might also encourage me to finish the unfinished......
