Gardening is great for your health and it gets you out the house, away from the TV and into the fresh air – so why wouldn’t you want to get your kids involved? If getting them away from the screen is proving difficult and the response to you asking if they want to do some […]
Halloween Crafting #BostikBloggers
Halloween is having a bit of a revival here this year as (thanks to the infernal YouTube phenomena that is Blippi!) Bene has really got into the idea and is very excited about being a skeleton while he’s out trick or treating tonight. I’ve been a bit forthright and told the big girls they can […]
Crafty Makes: Ocean Themed Tidy Boxes
I’m desperately trying to wind some crafting back into my life; Maddy is still my best bet for this, though Josie and Bene are more up for a go than they used to be. This month though, Maddy grabbed the Bostik craft box the minute it arrived and dashed off with it. The theme was […]
Our Spring & Easter Crafts
Continuing in my marvellous ‘blogging it for next year’ tradition 😉 This years Easter crafting comes courtesy of our Bostik Bloggers box again. With the girls getting bigger now I either get LOTS of collaboration or none – I need Bene to get a bit bigger and start to want to make things too! This […]
Soothing Stitches: Wreath Update
I spent the weekend away in Liverpool with most of my girls which, given where we live, meant a fair bit of time on trains. I didn’t crochet as much as I intended and it was a very busy weekend but I have made progress. It needs to be finished by Wednesday night though, […]
I suspect this will be the worst timed Valentine post ever.
I’m sticking with my ‘blogging it for next year’ meme. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, having been that kid who never once got the rose delivery to the classroom on the big day at school. It’s a humiliation you don’t get over until you are old and jaded enough […]
Soothing Stitches: WIP Update.
Being determined to start the year by getting on top of some of my works in progress has been good for me. I do get irritated by having half finished projects under the bed but I get distracted so quickly. It’s terrible. First to find itself no longer half done is the Dartmoor pillow, which […]
Christmas Craft #1: Family Fun Wish Labels
I’m optimistically going to try and do at least 20 crafts for Christmas over the next month. Quite how, I have no idea, but I think I need a goal to make myself work at. All of us are feeling like our family time has gone horribly wrong over the last few months and we […]
Peaceful Afternoon: Make with Mother Challenge.
I can’t really believe it is 10 days since I blogged (Yeah, I started this a few days ago). Silence is always a worry, huh? We are mired under in Christmas at work, busy, stressed children and tired, ill, grumpy everything. There is lots I should write and record. And lots I just feel I […]
Bostik Blogger Autumn Craft.
Autumn has tumbled upon us in a rush and far from mellow mists and fruitfulness, it has mostly brought bugs and snuffles and a general sense of “gaaaaaaah, bring back summer!” This did mean that I had the company of various of my children for the last two weeks which has many positives and some […]
