I’m determined to do more crafting from books I already own; even though I really want to create from my own brain, I lack the skills and the only way to learn is to practise. I went to a workshop a while ago and bought a book so I thought I would try a riff […]
Review: Chewits Crazy Carnival App
It’s hard to say no to the offer of a game to play and a box of sweeties, so the girls were very happy to be offered the Chewits Crazy Carnival Facebook app to epxlore recently, in return for a day out and a box of Chewits. There has been much gaming and much chewing […]
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 […]
Bene's Bedroom (includes Photowall review)
Seven years ago, we moved into our house with me stinging badly from the knowledge that the fourth bedroom was not, in fact, going to become a bedroom. It’s been many things since, the proper birthplace of BeadMerrily and all the associated businesses and nearly, so nearly, Freddie’s bedroom, even though I never prepared for […]
How to have a Fashion Design Birthday Party
I’m notoriously bad at organising birthday parties for my children, I think I have done about 4 in all of their lives. But when we got offered a Harumika Party Pack to review, Amelie got her wish – a birthday party for the school friends she was about to part company with that was all […]
Day trip to #venturecove at Elveden Center Parcs
You might remember that I mentioned in my Center Parcs review that the kids play area at Elveden had been closed for refurbishment. Last week we were invited back by Centerparcs to see what they had done with it, to turn it into Venture Cove, the new activity spot for kids and families within the […]
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 […]
Centerparcs Review: a perfect week part one
We have been fans of Elveden Centerparcs for many years now, taking our first holiday there when Amelie was just a year or so old. We’ve been back there in groups of friends and alone, including once as a week long, main summer holiday many times since. It never fails to be a good week […]
