It became a familiar pattern, while we were away. I’d rock Beetle to sleep, tuck him up in his portacot, and then I’d settle myself down for some stitching as the big children and daddy wandered off in search of adventure. I had packed my ripple as well, but on the first night, discovered an error that meant I had […]
It was really one of those impulse buys. I was at the fabric shop buying I-can’t-remember-what (maybe the bits for my overnight bag? I am drawing a total blank on what it was, to be honest!), and in my usual perusal of the remnant bin, I spied a roll of blue and green fabrics that appealed to me in their […]

It is just the right kind of project for the season my life is in at the minute, where crafting needs to take a backseat to […]
Mmmm… it’s that time of year again. Chocolate chocolate everywhere. And yesterday, with the first day of holidays well underway, and thhe gingerbread chilling in the fridge, we grabbed our supplies, and made ourselves some of what has seemed to become an annual tradition – the cheesecake Easter eggs! These are soooo yummy – hollow milk chocolate eggs, filled with […]
Holidays are finally here! Hooray! Lots of fun Easter stuff planned for this week. I thought I might also change up these weekly posts a bit, and start including some fun stuff I’ve found around the place, and things that have inspired me. Like this post from AJ, which has me wanting to try it on eggs. I’m […]
With only five books in my reading challenge this year, my reading is likely to be quite sporadic, so I thought the easiest option would be a monthly roundup.
