I like blogging (I know, go figure!) – I love that I get to craft words. I also love to talk (I know, I know) and for all my normal working life I was a sales person who relished selling products I believed in to people I could see. I still do. I’m passionate about […]
Hello baby
Trying not to think too hard about the fact that stress can harm an unborn child. Its been a stressful few days. Somehow I’m booked on a section list. That wasn’t quite what I meant to happen and now that I am, I am deeply sure that is not how I want this baby to […]
Wonderworld Wooden Crane Giveaway
Wonderworld was the first wooden toys brand that PlayMerrily Toys sold. By the time I really knew the brand, our girls had started to get a little big for the early years wooden toys in the range but they’ve loved a castle and wooden cooking pots from it. Mini World has been one of the […]
Maxi Hama Bead Giveaway
It’s been a while since I’ve had a child in the house who wants to play with Maxi Hama Beads (3+), more is the pity, but we keep a box of them here anyway, for visiting small people or because just occasionally they hit the spot for one of the big kids in some indefinable […]
Corolle Doll Giveaway Competition
Back in the mists of time, my very first supplier was DKL, who trusted me with a £300 credit limit and let me explore my idea of selling Hama Beads in unusual mixes and kit forms. Kai’s trust in me led to a total change in our life; I set up a business which we […]
The perfect present.
Lately I’ve got drastically less materialistic. I still love a gadget but I love presents that allow me to make something, pamper myself or a snuggle up with a book. I’m also reaching a point where a season that adds clutter to the house almost fills me with dread. Lately my friends and I have […]
Visitors & more Autumn & Halloween Craft Ideas
This week is the most social we’ve had in a long time; I invited my two nieces to stay to give my extremely pregnant sister a bit of a rest, my Dad is over from Egypt and The Porticos also visited (these days we have various schoolies and commitments and it isn’t so easy to […]
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
There can be few images of loss in literature more potent than that of the empty stool shown to Scrooge in the Cratchit house after Tiny Tim has died. There are few images more powerful in a film than that of Dumbo’s mother as she is torn from her child and left without him. It’s […]
It's just not cricket.
It would be an understatement to say I am a failure when it comes to going to major events. My pop concert count stands at one whole event, which was to see Bucks Fizz when I was 11. I’m not proud of the count, I still don’t mind saying that they were my favourite band […]
Tom & Jerry and The Wizard of Oz
Forgive the speedy whisk through this; I’m late doing it and I really wanted to milk something educational out of a dvd offer for the girls. But well, it’s been a busy month and I think when you home educate there is a danger of trying to make EVERRRRYTHING educational. We kind of used up […]
