Which is much nicer than the title i could give it this morning of Rainy Days and Mondays 🙄 We’re going to be housebound today because Max has got the car; it was far too wet for me to condemn him to do that cycle in. it is absolutely hammering it down at the moment. […]

Yesterday i did a sale for a playgroup. It was reasonably successful but really enjoyable to be out and talking to customers and seeing what type of thing sold in that environment. Reminded me very much why i used to like doing craft fairs and inspired me to get more of that sort of thing […]

I’m supposed to be leaving for a playgroup bazaar in an hour and i’m far from ready so i’ll blog… but only briefly. Lovely few days with The Porticos, i think we all had a really nice time. Amelie was full of even more confidence on her return and had clearly begun to assimilate a […]

E-bayer rant – again! On the 21st November, someone bought a pot of beads from me, paying the £4.45 by e-cheque. His feedback is only 34, but all good, so i sent it out because waiting is too prone to accidents on small items. It never arrived and late last week he emailed to ask […]

Yesterday was really lovely, just such a nice home ed day. Started off, as i was more or less work free, with a first showing of The Sound of Music, which they loved, not surprisingly. I have all the songs going round my head over and over already! Fran is really enjoying the singalong bit […]

Ooooh, look, I had time to be properly creative so here are some Printable Christmas Hama Bead Designs. You can buy beads from us, if you choose to do so, at CraftMerrily.

This weekend Maddy and Fran went up to my parents on Friday morning; Amelie stayed behind due to the fact that she has now gone on a long awaited vacation at The Portico and the transfering of children on Sunday was going to be too complicated otherwise. Can’t quite believe my 4 year old has […]

I seem to have done quite a few miles and quite a few county borders today. Let’s see… Cambridgeshire Huntingdonshire (half a real one!) Northamptonshire Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire (when do you use Oxon. i’ve often wondered?) Northamptonshire again Derbyshire Leicestershire Rutland (half a real one!) Lincolnshire Cambridgeshire again. Beautiful moonlit night though and a gorgeous wintery […]
