I learned how to do a very speedy room decorate this week. It was fun, fast, furious and the effect is fantastic 🙂 Being our living room it couldn’t be allowed to drag on, plus I had just a day and a half with daylight hours where Bene could be absent (paint and toddlers mix […]
Review: Beaverbrooks Jewellers -a moment to spoil myself.
One thing being a busy mum has not left me with, is much time to pamper myself or make myself look lovely. I know plenty of people manage it, but given a choice between make up, clothes and bling or 5 more minutes in bed on Animal Crossing, I’m all about the duvet and virtual […]
Time to start finishing this blanket.
Last night I finished the 180th square of this blanket. If I even mention another blanket any time soon, shoot me. I love this one but two plain granny square blankets in a year is too much. This one has half the squares already in rolls, so hopefully a few evenings will see it finished. […]
Soothing Stitches: A quick crochet Nook cover.
I can see people blogging plans for 2014 all over the Internet; I’m wary of too many plans but I do have some aspirations for this year. I’ve been working my way gradually towards being more creative over the last few years but this year I want to add some innovation to my creativity. I […]
Mostly… nice.
I’ve craved a year that could be called ‘mostly nice’ for the last few years. It’s been a while. Mostly painful, mostly dreadful, mostly despairing, mostly frightening, mostly stressful – those are the ways to describe the years from about 2006 onwards. From torrid times at home, to stressfully trying to maintain a business and […]
Promoted Post: Preventing the Spread of Coughs and Colds
The content below has been written on behalf of Patch of Puddles and contains handy hints on keeping the family healthy in the cough and cold season. As pretty much constant users of Vicks products since roughly 3rd September this year for one or other of us, I’m happy to receive tips. Roll on Spring! […]
Christmas Eve 2014
This year we celebrated making it to Christmas Eve without tears, though sometimes I was brought almost to tears by the lack of them. We celebrated a good Christmas at work, which we managed on 3 members of staff (two of them us) and which was positive for us and our customers and the future, […]
A Christmas Craft Wreath with Toadstools & Felted Holly
The last few years we’ve been able to take part in a pre-Xmas home ed day doing lots of Christmas crafts but this year it just wasn’t on the cards any more (sob, sob) and so I had to make a wreath all on my very own. I’ve been meaning to get round to trying […]
Thrifting a little at Christmas.
It’s an in joke that I totally fail to be thrifty at Christmas; I’m hopeless at working to budgets (Max handles the household money for most elements of our life) and hopeless at not indulging my children. I could blame that on more recent elements of life but it isn’t true or honest to blame […]
A little self indulgence.
You mustn’t blog about blogging. It’s a rule, right up there with ‘do not flounce’ and ‘do not break disclosure rules’ and ‘do not put things in your blog you don’t want your teenagers friends to find’. It narrows things down a bit at times 😉 I’m going to allow myself a little self administered […]
