Hi, my name is Amo and I'm a creative fiddler who gets grumpy if I don't get my 'fix'. I am in my happy place sewing, knitting, crocheting and basically using my hands creatively. I live in south west England with my husband and three dogs who will often make an appearance or I will take you out with them. This channel will be a bit of a mixed bag of creativity, dogs and life. Thank you for wanting to spend some time with me.

Retreat Haul and a Bit of Time in the Garden - Episode 15
I'm home from the Black Sheep Wool Retreat and I've brought some nice goodies home with me. Always nice to spend dedicated time doing what we love and in the company of like minded people. Lots of tips and ideas for future makes too!
I'm also pottering about a bit in the garden at the end while I have a bit of time.
See you soon

Greenhouse Refurb
มุมมอง 25721 วันที่ผ่านมา
One of the first things I bought when we moved in here in 2005 was this 10 x 13 foot Alton Greenhouse. It has certainly earned its keep over the years! Sadly time and awful weather took its toll and there were several decisions which had to be made. I think we made the right choice as we managed to save it! It looks fabulous and is now waiting patiently for the rest of the area to be spruced up...

Scrappy Strip for Quilt Back
มุมมอง 2482 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is how I make my scrappy fabric without using wadding or a backing fabric. I needed to widen the backing by a few inches to be able to quilt it with a little more ease. For the quilt top I had made the blocks using the same technique only going around in circles rather than thinking in strips and rectangles.

What a multitalented creative person you are. So inspiring 😊
Aww thank you x 😊
Your hood looks great. First time I’ve been tempted to make a hood xxx
It is rather functional! 😁
Thank you for such a lovely podcast. Your garden is beautiful 💕
Thank you for joining me 😊
Sorry Amo i am behind on my viewins. We have had a busy few weeks with Belgium visitors and hubby having his knee replacement operation. It sounds like you have had a lovely time at the retreat. I don’t have a greenhouse but i have bought a polytunnel recently, which i am moving some of my plants into. Enjoyed seeing you and Hopefully i will get time to podcast soon 🤞🏼. Xx
No need to apologise! I’m grateful you want to view! Hope his knee is doing well and he’s doing all the exercises. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve been up to lately 😊
You need renaming Amo Powerhouse - you achieve so much!!
@@amandasimpson9525 it’s what keeps me going. 😊
It was a great retreat and a pleasure to meet you! Your haul was amazing and the hood is a triumph. Amo is the best shortening of our name I have ever heard!
@@amandasimpson9525 you were a joy to spend time with, and to see your fabulous knitwear! And we have heard a few haven’t we? 😂
Beautiful makes and the retreat sounds lovely - glad you enjoyed it. That cowl does look perfect for dog walks - might have to add it to my queue. Take care xxx
Thank you. Hope you’re doing each day as well as possible. Xx
Glad you enjoyed the retreat, I think you were a bit unsure in case it was too people-y? Your crafting is as always plentiful and beautiful. Loved your hood, great for walking the fur babies. Your garden is lovely too but also a lot of work I’m sure. Thanks for sharing your crafty life with us. 🥰
They were good peoples but yes, took a few days to build up to it, and to decompress after! 😁
Thanks for sharing, loved your garden tour and the greenhouse is beautiful. I dream of having a greenhouse one day. Your furry friends are so cute, looks like they enjoy being out there.
They totally love the garden and would be out there all day sometimes!
Your garden is so pretty. Love the Halloween stitching and your display too.
It's a bit raggedy as it goes to sleep for the winter but the dogs love it.
Lots of different yarn now for socks, mittens, cowls etc. I liked your hood, I'm sure you will be glad of it in the not too distant future. The apron is so pretty, you are allowed to use your machine. Don't be too hard on yourself. The Halloween stitching is eye catching and you seemed to have it finished in no time. Your garden is great and it's a busy time out there preparing for winter. Take care.
I do hope we have a cooler winter this year! I've lots of knits I'd like to wear but I'm always a little warm!
Lovely Halloween cross stitch. Gorgeous dogs and garden😊. I enjoy your vlogs so much, off to sort out yarn now lol. Take care x
Thank you so much for joining me.
Love your Halloween 🎃 stitching . Beautiful garden and the dogs look fun racing around 😊.Happy Halloween 🎃 Amo xx
They do have some hilarious races around the garden.
What a massive job you have done! Your garden is a-maz-ing!!
It’s run away with us a bit over the past couple of years but hoping to get back on top of it gradually. 🥰
Hi Amo, I am just catching up. I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing and uplifting time at the retreat. I am so sorry to learn about your son, I am at a loss what to say as I cannot even comprehend the emotions you must feel. Sending you a great big hug❤
Retreat has been great. Talked too much, ate too much and knitted endlessly. Thank you for the hug ❤️
Absolutely beautiful sock makes you are very talented with all your lovely makes. So glad your crafting helped to get you through a very difficult time .
Thank you for your kind comments. 😊
Wow. Lovely transformation. Nice to have it refurbished and replaced. Very exciting for springtime. A big WIP! Enjoy!
So pleased to still have the same greenhouse to. A lot of sentiments attached to it 😊
My GSP also gets the zoomies every time when he's outside. 😂 Love the greenhouse. ❤
To be fair they’d been kept out of the back garden and there was just simply too much going on that they should have been supervising! Most of the day on high alert and hour or so checking everything was up to standard and they’re now all snoring. 😂
So much work done, so much more to do. Obviously you’re a gardener and enjoy all the work. The greenhouse looks 👍👍. Thank you for sharing. 🤩
Not as much of a gardener as I used to be but have missed our tomatoes and the few veg we do grow this year. 😊
Big hugs, beautiful pictures and touching poem ❤❤ Love your angel doll 😍
Thank you so much 😊
🤗 beautiful poem, thanks for sharing it and such lovely photos. Xx
Thank you 😊
I love those socks, I am now tempted! Going to look at the websites through the links you provided, so beautifully knit. Xx
Thank you for visiting Mandy 😊
Beautiful crafting, and I especially love your seed heads, thank you for sharing your fabulous makes. Huge hugs for such a difficult month for you Amo, sending love all the way from New Zealand ❤
Thank you Lisa 😊
Hi Amo, I almost need a podcast to comment on all your lovely stitching and sew-y bits 🤩. You have been very busy and I hope that busy fingers kept your mind from dipping into the pain of this time. It never leaves I am sure but I hope it’s more bearable with time. Glad you were able to spend time with your daughter and the family as you celebrated life and grief together. You picked up some lovely bits to knit with. Enjoy your retreat time, see you on here when you return. Big hugs from far away 🇨🇦 - Isabel. PS the poem is so appropriate. ❤️
Thank you for your lovely comments Isabel. It’s only 2 years and he’s still with me every day. I still talk and ask his opinion all the time. Being my creative child he would have love the vlog! 😊
@@AmoPawfectPastimes I do that too, talk to my loved ones who’ve moved on. It is a comfort. I know they’re still with me. I’m glad you can talk about him. It’s so so hard but I applaud your strength 🤗🥰❤️
Hi Amo. Gorgeous socks. They are all fab. So sorry it has been a tough time for you and your family. And glad you have each other to support you through. I still can’t get my head around the fact that Kim from AU has gone. She was such a lovely friendly person. Never been in a yarn shop and been made so welcome and also offered a cuppa by her lovely mum. You sound like my mum with your golf. My mum and dad were both keen golfers. They tried to get me to play 🙈. Xx
I’d heard of Kim but never had the chance to meet her. Another gone too soon. I’m still working out if I like the golf thing. Life keeps throwing me curve balls with it! 😁
@@AmoPawfectPastimes golf isn’t for me but i know a few who love it. My parents definitely did. As they say…..you have to things and find what you like 😉 it would be boring if we were all the same xxx
Huge hugs. This week is my worst week of the year and so my heart went out to you; thinking of your son and mine. The photos are wonderful and what a gentle soul. My son was 23 when he passed and was a creative, gentle soul and a free spirit. So pleased we have our crafts to ease those difficult days. I love the gansey style socks. I’m in Gloucestershire. Karen x
Hello Karen and thank you for sharing. Chris was 4 weeks off being 36 and outwardly loved life. The creativity focus has absolutely kept me going. Keep the spirit strong. Xx
Hi Amanda, firstly sympathies for your loss and the ongoing pain of it. Secondly, thank you for the update on when (and if ) I can buy the pattern for the Cornish Christmas socks as I was one of those who asked. I really love them! As usual I really enjoy your podcasts and look forward to seeing you again. ❤ from Australia 😊
Hello Australia! 👋 I will keep an eye out for you Lesley 😊
The poem is lovely. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for reading it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts today,im sorry it’s such a painful time, your crafts are so beautiful, those slippers are amazing, have a lovely week sending much love x x
Thank you for your lovely comments.
My friend made me a treat ball for christmas last year and i felt like a kid knitting those socks xxx
That’s a fab gift! And quite time consuming to make too I should think.
@@AmoPawfectPastimes yes. We saw them at yarndale last year and i didnt end up with one so she made it. Xxx
@@mlea79 I good friend indeed! X
@@AmoPawfectPastimes she is. Im lucky xxx
Sorry to hear it’s a sad time for you. Just wanted to give you a hug xx The pixie yarn is the bamboo not instead of nylon? I have a sock yarn in stash thats a cotton bamboo blend but i haven’t used it yet.
Thanks Marie. Xx Good point about the bamboo! I am starting to think about not wanting such a lovely yarn on my feet now too. I will look into the bamboo/nylon thing.
Love all your projects and those seed heads are so beautiful. Talented lady. The camel yarn with the dark brown looks just right, good choice. Thank you for sharing the photos of Chris, it's so hard isn't it, not an easy road at all. Keep on crafting and showing us your projects. Take care.
I’m really hopeful the yarns will work. I just have to find the right, simple pattern now.
Lovely podcast. Everything right up my alley. Enjoyed all your superb handiwork. Very well done on the poppy project it’s a huge undertaking. I’m sorry that this is such a sad time for you. Solace in your crafting will be helpful I imagine. The poem is cleverly and poignantly written. Keep busy and enjoy your weekend away xx
Thank you for your lovely comments. I’m having another Poppy Day today so will see the end of it soon!
Gorgeous photos of your boy. That poem is so poignant. Thank you for sharing.Love all your makes too.
Thank you for watching to the end and your kind comments.
Another lovely vlog full of gorgeous makes ! The poppy seed heads are amazing, you are so talented in many ways. Enjoy your retreat at Black Sheep it sounds great! The poem is beautiful and with the photos of your son left me so emotional. Sending love and take care xx
Looking forward to 4 days of pampering with my friend and yarn. Just the ticket 😊
Hello dear Amanda , beautiful projects ,I love the caramel yarn with the brown together.Gorgeous Halloween stitching . Beautiful photos of your dear son ,thinking of you at this time 🙏 .Enjoy your retreat xx
I’m hoping they will work well together. Thank you for your lovely comments.
Hello Amo, it was lovely to catch up with you in your lovely video, and WoW, you have been very busy!! It was so inspiring to see all of your amazing creations, you are so very talented and a pleasure to watch 🥰 Have a wonderful week 💖Vanessa🥰
Thank you for coming over to join me 😊
I am absolutely blown away by your talent! Thank you for sharing your collection it was a treat to see x
Thank you for coming over to view 😊
Amo, you are an incredible creative in so many of the arts. The clothing on the dolls is beautiful. Your quilts, paintings, cushions - too much to mention. Wow is really an understatement. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for you lovely comments 😊
The dragon quilt is fabulous, looks fantastic on the wall, I assume that construction of the separate pieces only marginally joining means it’s for wall only? It’s stunning 🐉
Yes, it’s classed as an art quilt so definitely wall only. 😊
Lots of lovely pumpkins. I have crochet lots in the past few years but this year i made some with material for a change. As fast as i make them, my grandkids pinch them 🙈😂. All your cross-stitch looks wonderful. I wish i had enjoyed doing it. I just didn’t 😵💫. Xx
I have gone in and out of love with it at times! 😄
Love your dolls Amo, each one is a character. You are wonderfully talented with a great eye for colour and detail. Everything you make is precious. The wall hangings are so well done and look perfect in your snug. Even the skull is charming in a way I can't explain . Love it all. I've watched your video twice, and I must watch again. Thank you for showing more of your talents and exquisite pieces.
Thank you for your lovely comments Linda 😊
Amazing work, you are such a talent ! Absolutely wonderful ❤❤
Thank you very much 😊
Lovely! You are one talented crafty lady! Attention to detail second to none!
Thank you 😊
Oh my days Amo. Your dolls are fantastic. I would love to be able to create them. I just (try as i might) don’t have an artist flare when it comes to details. I tried with needle felting. I just can’t get the face details right. 🙈. All your other makes are also fabulous. You really are very talented. 👏👏😘
I’ll have to show my felting some time I suppose 🫣😄 x
You are very talented. Fenella has such kind eyes. Thank you for sharing your makes ❤
Glad you enjoyed them 😊
Amazing works of art. ❤
Thank you 😊
Beautiful stitching, thank you so much for the inspiration!
Thank you 😊
Wow these are amazing,such detail .You are very talented.Thank you for sharing .xx
Thank you for watching 😊
oh that dragon quilt is simply to die for, your work is amazing, thank you for showing us everything
The tiny stitching on the organza wings took an age but it was worth it. 😊
