It has been ages since I last posted a craft project on my site. With moving house and decorating both the inside and the outside I’ve been distracted and not even thought about settling down to make something! But those crafty ideas have a way of making their way back in to your [...]

Good morning! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful flower comments to yesterday’s giveaway. They have inspired me even more than I thought possible and as soon as the weather turns I shall be transforming our patch in to a wonderland. In fact I may not be seen until September or October so [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
