About me
Hello, and welcome to my blog.
In 2007 I married a New Zealander, and we moved from central London to a tiny little town about 100 miles from Auckland, New Zealand. We live in a little wooden house over-looking the sea with our two cats and two dogs. The cats and dogs hate each other.
This blog is about the things I make, the things I want to make, and life in general.
You can email me at thelittlehousebythesea at hotmail dot com, or leave a comment. I LOVE getting comments – please leave one!

Hi there
just responding to your comment on my blog.
Hi! How did you find my blog, it’s curious because I’m sure i found you (don’t remember how) about 6 months ago but my computer was being slow and nasty so I didn’t stay long and then forgot to come back. And now you’ve found me. Funny.

Hi,
Thanks for the great mushroom pattern, I have posted the pics in your “the little house by the sea group” in Flickr.
Best Regards

This is my first visit to your blog – I found my way here by way of Swap-bot and Flickr – Sunnysidey posted a photo of the sweet embroidered toadstool she made using your tutorial.
Reading your blog put a smile on my face – an ever better start to the day than a cup of coffee. I really enjoy the little snippets stories you’ve written. What a happy, humorous place to visit! I’ll be back.

Fabulous blog! I found it by searching for soft toy mushrooms as I am looking for a special little gift for my god daughter. I am sadly devoid of artistic talent so was wondering if you sold completed mushrooms?

I made one of your fairy toadstool houses and would love to send you some pics. I’m not a member over on Flickr so I can’t just post them there. Can’t find a contact email anywhere on your blog. If you’d like to email me, I’d be happy to share them.
Thanks for sharing your pattern!

Now I feel stupid. I scrolled to the top and noticed your email at the top of this. Duh! I’ll send you pics shortly . . .

Hello….It seems your living the life I’ve wanted to live when I retired. My dream was a cozie house by the lake with my husband and 2 cats being able to work on my crocheting and crafts at leisure. Well I’ve retired with my husband and 2 cats, but I’m still living in my house of 10 years with 4 years left until it’s paid off. I have lots of patterns and idea’s for crafts but as yet have not found the ambition to get started with anything. I like reading your blog hopeing it will give me some sort of insporation to get on with my dream. I’M STUCK

Hi, I just popped by and read some of your blog, why don’t you write anymore? It looks like a lovely place to live. One of your best photos on the blog is of you walking along the Thames with your niece in your wedding dress.
