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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Valentines Day Card Craft with Bostik.
I’m not totally sure about Valentine’s Day, if I’m really honest; Max and I don’t do it and none of the girls seem particularly bothered either so I was slightly surprised by the verve with which the girls set about our first Bostik Craft Pack. Perhaps I’ve just not noticed their longing to produced handcrafted […]
Soothing Stitches: Homemade Hamper Gift.
What do you give the person who has everything? Or in my case, what on earth do I give my mum, who travels a lot, has a lovely home, a brilliant brain and probably almost everything in terms of gifts and things that can be given. The answer is not stuff at all. In common […]
Calm among storms.
The run up to Christmas is always hectic here, it comes with the toy shop ownership territory. We looked forward to the Xmas break but for the very best of reasons, it was never going to be. Christmas, visitors, a wedding, decorating – it all added up to a holiday that passed by very quickly […]
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 […]
Soothing Stitches: Crochet Curtain Tie.
Since my room is one of the closest to being finished (and it also happens to be a sort of living space for us as it is opposite our middle floor living room) I thought I would do a bit of prettying up. The blanket I’m making for the bed should be finished by Xmas […]
Halloween 2013
We went, as we always do, to our lovely friends house for Halloween. This year was a little different; for the first time, Fran couldn’t join us as she was working – and being big enough to have a job means you are big enough to have to swallow being at work rather than trick […]
