Grow your blog . . .

Hello, happy weekend and a big welcome too if you're visiting here for the first time and joining in the party over at
 2 Bags Full . . .

It's been almost 2 years since I started this little crafty blog of mine and I am constantly amazed and delighted by how much fun it is to be a part of this worldwide group of lovely fellow bloggy peeps.

So, the short version is thus:

I'm Gilly, currently happily ensconced in the midlands of England, UK with my loved ones: The Hubby and The Two-Most-Adorable-Pups-in-the-World.

aren't they just adorable ?

 And I love to make things.  Baking, knitting, quilting, crocheting and a fairly new-found love of sewing are my current favourites . . . and here at  gilly makes. . . HQ,  there's always something on the go . . .

. . .a quilt label to be sewn,

a quilt to be posted, a bag of yarn to be crocheted and a pup to be cuddled/walked/fed,

fabric to be cut & pressed,

a dress to be finished, and a bag of knitting to be sewn up !

It's all just one big W I P . . .

So please do have a wee wander around and I hope you enjoy your visit. 

Ooh, and to join in the spirit of the party, I've got a little giveaway too . . .

Now I know that not everybody likes to knit or crochet or sew etc etc, but everyone has a home, and most of us have to do the housework at some stage, right ? 

So, how about some pretty things to brighten up those chore days ?

a little bundle of Cath Kidston prettiness . . .
