    Crafters Corner 2026

    Just finished this cot blanket with a Popcorn stitch edging, in time to go in the McMillan box. All our efforts get taken to somewhere in Devon for sale. Last year we made over £4,000.

    What's your weather like 2026

    It started dry this morning but then rained. It's stopped now (I think). And the sky looks a little bit less heavy.

    any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?

    A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
