It’s not like the old days. In the old days the air sparkled and was full of birds. Tweeting meant a noise, a natural noise, heard with ears, not eyes. We played in mud and out in the street and illness was proper, wholesome illness and broken arms didn’t mean a week off school while […]

Education the other way.
After years of being the ‘slightly not in a box’ home ed group on visits and trips out, I experienced being a ‘mum on a school trip’ this week. Josie’s year went on a trip to the Egyptian area of the British Museum and I decided to go too. This was partly because I was […]
Review: Rosie Flo Pool Party Craft Kit
It won’t come as any surprise to you to find that I love craft kits – all crafting – and I particularly love businesses that does as ours has done, grow out of an idea and enthusiasm. I’ve been an admirer of Rosie Flo and her fabulous colouring books for a long time, we’ve had […]
Penguin Cake.
Josie still loves penguins and so her Fimo penguin cake toppers have come out for a third trip. I’m pretty proud of this one though. One more cake to make this year; Fran missed out so I have promised to make a Christmas cake themed to Fran-ness 🙂 Here is Josie’s though, all ready for […]
Lax Toddler Parenting #6: Scissors Equals Felt Fun
Bene has very, very nearly mastered the word scissors, an odd one to acquire before some of the more basic ones. Or biscuit, which in my experience is usually right up there. I think it is probably due to his sisters leaving them around a lot, resulting in someone suddenly shrieking ‘scissors!!!!’ A short wrestling […]
Review: Rakuten's Play.com Online Shopping Experience
I’m sort of quite a big fan of Rakuten’s Play.com. I say sort of, because I never really remember to actually use it which is annoying because as well as being a fan, I approve of them too. I approve of any selling platform which attempts to find its feet against the world dominating corporations […]
Shimmering Fimo Coasters
Last year I had to make a secret santa present for one of my very loveliest friends – and she doesn’t approve of cute, clutter or anything that isn’t practical. (I’m not totally sure that is actually true, but it was her stipulation at the time!) This was tricky – and meant I couldn’t make […]
Fran starts competing again.
After a year off competing since joining their new gymnastics club, Fran had her first comp this weekend. The club didn’t get regional accreditation until after the level she would have liked to do had gone past, so she revisited a Level she has done before to get back into the swing of things. It’s […]
What's your favourite yarn shop?
A while ago I updated a post where I described the really bad service I had had from a yarn company. I was extremely angry to have been treated so poorly and took the unusual step (for me) of making a fuss about it on my blog. Today they asked me to remove it. Now […]
The one where I accidentally buy more yarn.
I’m blaming this entirely on Cosmicgirlie, who Instagrammed this T-Shirt yarn the other week. I REALLY liked the look of it and then I happened upon some of it in a large craft shop I refuse to name because they are a competitor *cough* and it was on 3 for 2 and I accidentally bought […]
