Today was a ‘motherhood’ day. Ups and downs. Growling as I stomped around the house looking for a very lost kindle which eventually turned out to be hidden (in a very toddler manner) behind the radiator that is behind the sofa, growling more as I encountered the bedrooms of my daughters. That’s life. Mess, missing […]
Lax Toddler Parenting #10: Speech Apathy
This is how I like my children… In the garden, being noisy, having fun, not connected to app or screen or anything much. It seems a pretty perfect way to be. Bene, like his biggest sister was, is in his element when he’s being physically boisterous. He’s all about body at the moment, has been […]
Soothing Stitches: Quick Crochet Storage Pot Cover.
I’ve got an enormous soft spot for a felting wool made by Adriafil called Crea (although my favourite colour, which I only bought one ball of, is discontinued!) and when in need of a quick crochet hit the other weekend, I made this pot to hold my hooks and bits and bobs. It took half […]
Daffodils for Freddie – a craft linky for a 4th birthday that isn't.
Dear all, Lot of people have said they’ll join in and make daffodils with me ready for Freddie’s birthday on 2nd April; as I feared, ours are already out and will be gone before it comes. Over the last 4 years the sight of Spring emerging at a time which is so inherently sad has […]
Like the good old days.
I’d forgotten how much fun it is to just sit and make things with Hama Beads. I think they are still my favourite crafty stuff; I couldn’t bear to not have a shop full of them! I’m clearly in need of a bit of therapy; the breast lump thing has knocked me back badly, even […]
What makes a good craft blog?
As you may know, this year we are sponsoring the Craft Blogger category at the MADs Blog Awards through our own business and in particular CraftMerrily (which is about to have a sparkly and up to date new look!) It’s given me a great opportunity to take a look through the list of craft blog […]
Daffodils in Hama Beads
Oh, I’ve not had the Hama Beads out in such a long time; a bit of therapy was needed tonight though and they just arrived in my hands, as it were. On with the daffodil theme so they will still be here in April (all the garden ones are out now… Sob) and these are […]
Every baby should survive their #firstday
On that first day, there was one who pulled the red emergency cord but she is not the one I remember. I remember the midwife who supported me through a short, healing, beautiful labour. She made me focus on what I had to do as the room erupted in chaos around us. She kept my […]
St Patrick's Day Fimo Crafts
When Bene was just new born, I accidentally got my children to do St Patrick’s Day crafts a whole month early, thanks to baby brain and befuddlement. They’ve never let me forget it. I think they thought history was repeating itself today when I suggested a similar activity, but on this occasion it was just […]
Josie Jump.
I’ve been busy building yet another website for a peterborough gymnastics club this week; this will be the third and hopefully the last time! It’s been quite something, being part of rescuing this club from a bit of a sad collapse and incredibly exciting to see it now up and running and raring to go. […]
