I’ve been trying to get back into knitting with some quick and easy projects to use up the vast quantity of yarn holding up my bed. It’s no fun when even you know you shouldn’t buy any more. Plus, I really love making blankets, but you do have to wait a long time for the ‘finished […]
The Garden of Dreams.
In my dreams, I stroll gently to the French windows each morning, steaming herb tea in my hand, white dressing gown wafting around my shapely, perfectly smooth legs and look out at a garden that looks a bit like this. Unfortunately, along with the legs, dressing gown, tea and occasionally opening French doors, this particular […]
Home Improvements; in the words of the monkey, "It is time."
You may have heard that there is a new blog index on the block, the HIBS100. I’m remarkably grumpy about not being eligible to join this one (it has to be mostly about pretty home type-y things) and it’s given me quite a kick up the bum. With the absence of any home ed to […]
Cat Crafts.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have been forced to endure my humiliating re-entry into Fimo modelling the other week as I attempted to get to grips with making model cats. I can’t believe quite how much ability I have lost in 20 months or so of not picking up any polymer clay. […]
Review: Window Art with Post-it Notes
Now here is a match made in heaven, a blogger who once had her roots in easy early years crafting, who loves stationery and spends her life trialing and selling crafty loveliness…. I can’t go wrong with a Post-it Note window art challenge! Josie adored this, really loved it. An envelope full of pleasing stacks […]
Most random ever blog freebie that made us do stuff!
Ages ago I got sent a rather fab T-shirt that had been made using stains for me by Dermot Flynn by Persil who are launching their new Small & Mighty detergent. Since it was a size ten, Maddy got to wear it. I might be dieting, but I’m not sure me and a size 10 […]
A little light crafting.
Ah. back on form with some easy pun titles. I just wrote this post once and it failed to save and left no draft. I’m totally cheesed off now. Here is my pretty little button lampshade. I’m trying a new tack to help keep my 40 day cluttering working long term. Not surprisingly clutter has […]
Notcutts: reviewing my favourite gardening shop.
The opportunity to say something nice about somewhere you really like is extremely appealing. When I’m blogging properly I do link to businesses I love just for… erm.. love but when Notcutts offered me a voucher to review the brand new garden and home website, I couldn’t turn it down really. Apart from anything else, […]
Review: Didicar's are Fantastic :)
We first met a Didicar in the hallway of the Bean’s house, some years ago. They do have a biggish (and conveniently wooden floored) hallway, which made it a good place to drive one and I was impressed at the fun that was had with what at first glance seemed to be just a ride […]
Why I'm quiet.
There are all sorts of reasons. One is I’m spending my evenings listening to the Wee Free Men books while making this. Another is I’ve been making these. Because I really want to get back to selling handmade things this year and I have masses of plans and not much time. Then there is crawling […]
