mollie makes pledge

Earlier this year I subscribed to the wonderful Mollie Makes magazine, my mother's day treat and now I have a lovely pile of copies which will be treasured.

As the magazine is full to brimming with lovely inspiration and brilliant tutorials I have decided to make a little pledge, not written in stone mind, that I will have a go at one of the craft tutorials each month.


In order to keep myself motivated I will include a show and tell on here.  I was inspired to make my pledge by the lovely Gillian from tales of a happy house who has made some fabric mice and friendship bracelets. Gillian has a lovely blog which is well worth a visit.

Also, I don't think I can contain my excitement.  Why, you ask?  Well the lovely Jane from teawagontales included the linen cloud in her list of new blog discoveries!  Thank you so, so much Jane!  I really couldn't be more delighted.

And to make a lovely day even lovelier, Mr F and I are going out tonight, just the two of us.  This is a rare and precious treat at the moment so I'm off to prettify myself in anticipation.


PS ... I have just clocked the number of times I have used the word lovely in this post ... but I won't apologise - things are lovely around here!

  3. Thanks for the mention! It's a good way to get the most from the magazine. But you'll notice I always do the quick and easy makes - my skill level is "beginner" is most areas! x

  7. What a fab idea & pledge! I love Molly Makes too (made a baby quilt with the free Soul Blossoms jellyroll that came with my new subscription - does that count?) I'm definitely going to try the crocheted garland in the current issue - it's so sweet. Have a happy weekend, xx
