For ages now, I’ve been wanting to get a wall hanger for Melody. She’s so pretty that I felt guilty leaving her in her case. So I hunted around on Amazon and found this one. I thought it looked cool and there were good reviews. The Ammoon Violin and Bow Holder is specifically designed for violins and is the perfect size for your violin.
OK OK! I really should have done a podcast before now! You will understand how ill I’ve been. I’ve also been really stressed with everything over the last few months.

Or maybe that episode where Gordon decided he didn’t want to go out in the rain and got bricked up in the tunnel! Anyway, it’s really cosy and intimate and you feel like you can get up close with the performers! We were sat in the front row though…
This year, I had planned to give RiverSytem’s sister L a pair of handmade socks that were inspired by the Northern Lights and the pattern was going to be designed by me. I’ve called them the Nordlys Socks and they were going to be crocheted.
While we were sorting out our old house recently, I found lots of jars of yarn ends around the place like discarded ornaments of yesteryear. I really didn’t want to throw them out and while they look pretty, I really wanted them to be a bit more useful! So I googled uses for yarn ends… Continue reading Trying Something New & Having Fun!
