Projects of the week
This week, Zoe has been getting back into knitting and making her own cosy slippers. Have a go at making your own with this free slippers knitting pattern. Meanwhile, Sarah has been trying her hand at embroidery with this gorgeous spring embroidery hoop design.
One good thing
We're all looking for ways to unwind at the moment and Zoe's been relaxing with her favourite game: Animal Crossing. As it's Easter, she's been hunting for Easter eggs in the game.
Looking for a new TV show recommendation? Sarah's been enjoying the French show Call My Agent, which is available on Netflix. The show follows the lives and work of celebrity agents in Paris as they try to find work for their actors. It's lighthearted and often ridiculous, but very enjoyable. Unfortunately it's not a great show to craft along to because you'll need to read the subtitles (unless your French is very good!).
