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: A Crochet Daffodil Garland
I wanted to make a garland that would brighten up our dining room and keep Spring alive a little longer; by combining some elements from different places and a little bit of changing things to suit my needs, I managed to make something I as really pleased with. It’s looking like becoming a permanent addition […]
This one is for friendship #daffodilboy
A few weeks ago I asked friends to join in with me as I crafted myself to distraction in the run up to Freddie’s ‘should be’ 4th birthday and join me. For those who did, I am truly grateful. And for those who sent photos of daffodils on the 2nd and thought of us and […]
Spring Crafts with Bostik Products
Last month we tried our hand at some crafting with Bostik glue and sticky pads; this month the challenge is Spring and Easter crafting with some Glitter Glue pens and extra strong Glu Dots. I got the jump on this a bit as we put together the craft pack this month via our CraftMerrily website […]
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 […]
