When anybody asks me what it is that I would spend money on in a house when working on a budget (which is always) I tell them that I spend money and time on the lighting and the flooring. My dad despairs of me because the flooring is the last thing that should be [...]

A feeling I love experiencing is one of being on top of things, being more organised than unorganised, having some calm floating about in the air. I have to work hard at maintaining this state of being for any length of time but I find it’s worth the effort and I’m grateful for anything that [...]

Hello! Welcome to the week. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and that you’re all raring to go. I am, sort of, but I have some things I’d like to sort out and organise before I feel that I can really get going. One of the things I’d like to plan for are [...]

Hello! We’ve been rather short on craft projects around here lately so I thought I’d remedy that today with this rather sweet table runner. I like table runners as they take less time to make than a full tablecloth, they are quite prepared to hold all manner of serving dishes and plates which means only [...]

Good morning! How are you all today? Has it been a bit drizzly and wet where you are? It has here unfortunately. On Saturday the rain came down biblical style and Robert and I watched it in the evening bounce off the top of the swing seat in the garden. It was quite meditative actually. [...]

I’m calling a halt to Winter here in West Sussex. It may be rainy, still cold and dark in the mornings outside but inside I’ve called time. It is now officially Spring and I’m off. I’ve got a wind beneath my sails, a spring (geddit) in my step and my creative mojo is rocking. I’m [...]

While I wait for the garden to bring me flowers these will do. Simple fabric hearts, sewn together with wadding/stuffing in the middle. Like a sandwich. And then placed on top of a bar-b-q skewer with a tiny scrap of fabric tied below as a trim to finish. There’s no point in waxing lyrical about [...]

I don’t know whether it’s because I’m a first time mum and I have no experience of these types of feelings or whether it’s because we waited quite a while to have the twins but sometimes I feel like I might crumble from the weight of how I feel about these two. It came home [...]

Anaïs is slowly but surely getting in to ‘proper’ clothes. Where there were babygrows now there are dresses. Where there were big pull on trousers now there are tights and cute tops. It’s nice that we’re heading in to this stage. Well I say nice, it’s interesting. I’ve never been a mum before so this [...]
