woollen rooster...

...doorstops to prop open your yuletide door

all made with welsh wool cloth

woven at a local woollen mill

keeping alive an industry that was once huge in wales

and produced some of the finest woven fabrics

this woollen mill does indeed produce beautiful wool cloth

Anna cafetiere cosie...

 ...here is my first free crochet pattern for you to enjoy

the yarn used is my very own 'tegan wool' hand spun jacob yarn

in a bulky/chunky weight

This is the first crochet pattern i have written

and even though i can happily follow crochet patterns

it is a little trickier to write them

or thats what i found

so here is an easy one for starters

and if you would like' tegan wool' yarn for this or any other project

please contact me or buy from my shop

have fun

november days...

waking up to our view at nellie and eve hq

an inversion in the valley



makes it look more like a sea

misty, murky, mild this morning after big storms





things brightened up heaps

our honeysuckle arch having survived

very strong winds over the last few days





nellie and eve have been busy making lots of lovely cosies of all kinds and they are now in the shop

                           Tea cosies, mug cosies and egg cosies too

a running theme I feel to keeping warm this coming winter

and a campaign to making tea in a pot always starts with a tea cosie

tea from a pot

makes an occasion

out of the good old

cuppa

and while we wait for our toast to brown

pop an egg cosie on your boiled egg





...over the last week or so
as well as crocheting cosies


 i had a birthday...

a padded heart full of
wonderful choccies

can't go wrong
with a gift like that in my book

love it




afternoon tea and antique hunting

made for a great birthday

and found something to buy too

isn't this just fab!

have a great week

here at nellie and eve hq we are getting set for the
new season ahead

battening done the hatches after the last few days of

                           
      wet and very windy weather

                                                      autumn is well and truly upon us

leaves have fallen everywhere in the garden

but i do love this time of year

the beautiful colours

the smell of wood smoke from the chimney

autumnal walks with the doggies

great news...
our lovely cockerel chuck had his first cry today

hurray we shout

although we may not be soo happy when this happens every day at 0500

  but for now we are really chuffed he has finally found his voice

looking back to the days of harvesting

our peas and potatoes

now in storage

the hard work done for the year                                                           

there is something very rewarding about growing
and harvesting your own food and being able to go to the store cupboard where once it was the
super market







need to grow heaps more next year










walks with the doggies gives me a great
excuse
to wear my new neck warmer                                                                          
warm and cosy

no bulky long scarves to wrap                                                 
round and round and round                                                                               

you get the idea...                                              

find them in our shop now

                                            

                    

     
and as the weather turns a little colder

there is nothing more lovely than a hot cup of tea

made in the pot


with a super tea cosy

to keep it all warm

...and nellie and eve have been crocheting away

making tea cosies a plenty

we wanted to say a big congratulations to a lovely cafe/bookshop in Brecon

called The Hours

they have been open for one whole month and doing really well

nellie and eve made the bunting for the big opening at the beginning of october

well done Leigh and Nicky

clocks go back tonight

so dark short days to come

but an hour lie in tomorrow

hope you enjoy it
