Is it just me, or are teenage boys so so hard to buy gifts for? Maybe it’s just that a) I’ve never been a teenaged boy (obviously) and b) I have no boys that have yet reached teenagehood. I contemplated a gift card if some variety, but was assured that cash is perfectly adequate (and, in all likelyhood, preferable). I […]
There is a little group of lovelies that I spend the best part of my year chatting to, crafting with and laughing at with.

One big shift this year has been watching the boys blossom in their confidence. Partly to do with Bear being at school, and Boy2 finding his feet in a world not dominated by his big brother, […]
One of my favourite things about belonging to online craft group is having swaps, and having a little piece of your friends nearby. For instance, as I sit here typing, immediately to my right is a mugrug Nic made me. I think of her every time I use it, which really, is pretty damn regularly. It’s a lovely way to […]
