Falling Back Into Daytripping
It’s been a long time since we went on a proper daytrip with some proper adventures.. and I’ve missed it. Join me as we head off on our first adventure for a while to a rather impressive waterfall.
Seven Tips for Beginner Vloggers
To celebrate the new home of Katie Writes Stuff, I’m sharing my first sewing vlog and some tips to encourage you to have a go at vlogging yourself.
Take Me Back Tuesdays: Needlework in War-Time
In the latest instalment of Take Me Back Tuesdays, we have a look at why the Royal School of Needlework thought dressmaking was so important in wartime. It’s probably not what you think!
So Many Boxes
I’ve changed the place where I live but my op shop obsession remains unaltered.
Lost Stitches and Found Photos
How much difference can a single missing stitch make? A lot, apparently, when it comes to knitting gloves.
The Treasures of Garfield
In a little town called Garfield, there was an Antiques Fair and an op shop open on a Sunday. We went, of course. It would have been rude not to.
Treasures from the Past
Op shops are the best shops of all because they have the ability to surprise you and present you with treasures when you least expect it.
Vintage Style or Completely Mad?
There’s a fine line between the best of vintage and the craziest. No-one ever said anything about paying any attention to it, though.
This Week
This last week has been defined by two things: a lot of knitting and a couple of amazing op shop finds.
The One
Have you found The One? I have, and morning tea time is once again the best time of the day.
Hello and welcome to Katie Writes Stuff, where I write stuff so you can read stuff. We're all about old-fashioned fun around here. This is a place where a good time involves a daytrip to the country to visit op shops and photograph all of the things, followed by an evening spent knitting or sewing garments from vintage patterns. Settle in, grab a scone and a cuppa and enjoy reading along.
