Hello! How are you today? How were your pancakes? Have you given anything up for Lent? Well, here in West Sussex things are moving along. My daughter has two teeth on the bottom that you know about and now she has two teeth coming through in the top. This means that when she is in [...]

I have various ways of ruining shoes… 1, I wear them out dancing, spill drinks on them, hail a taxi in them and throw them on the kitchen floor when I finally get back home (please realise that this hasn’t happened in about five years but shoes were ruined nonetheless) 2, I wear the wrong [...]

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 [...]

I like a bit of cute occasionally. I also like Spring. I adore Tulips and my favourite colour combination is soft green, blush pink and white. Please let me reveal to you ‘The Darling’ It’s my first apron (although I prefer the word Pinny) of 2011 and will lead the way in a rather kitsch, [...]

I’ve had this knitting box since 2006! It has followed me from my flat in London, to my first house with Robert and now resides here with us in West Sussex. I love the shape and I love how light it is. But I didn’t EVER like the finish. It was also no use to [...]

It’ll be here in a week, a WEEK! I’m excited I have to admit. This is without doubt my favourite week of the year and Christmas Eve is my favourite day of the year. I much prefer it to Christmas Day as I LOVE the excitement of it all. And the cosiness, mustn’t forget that. [...]

Do you remember the little village that the Munchkins lived in in the movie version of The Wizard of Oz? I always used to love it when they’d show the baby Munchkins asleep in a giant nest complete with egg shells as beds. They looked so cosy and I remember thinking as a child that [...]
