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. [...]

Hello, happy Friday everyone! This is a post that I have been saying I will do for a Very. Long. Time. Last Spring I wrote a post on putting together a guest bag for when loved ones come and stay with you. You can find it here. I made the bag myself but never added [...]

I’m managing to get on top of the art of starting things early. If I want to make the babies stockings for Christmas then I start them in mid-October. And if I make Halloween Trick or Treat bags and want to show you how to make them too then we have to have Halloween a [...]

Good morning! I find myself a year older today. Yesterday was my birthday. Last year I was living it up in Los Angeles with Robert the Husband, dining at Madeo with Don Rickles. And this year I’m covered in baby sick and utterly exhausted from the night feeds with Ned and Anaïs. But you know [...]

I’m crazy for tables right now. Ever since the table of my dreams was built by my Dad I’ve been obsessed by dressing it with different settings, colour schemes, cloths etc. I can often be found nipping out in to the paddock with various items from the kitchen or dining room in my hands in [...]

The how-to for the patchwork top The table we made our tablecloth for measures 120cm by 270cm and I wanted to make a tablecloth that would have an approximate drop of 30cm each side. This would make the tablecloth’s measurements approximately 180cm by 330cm in total, therefore, this how-to does not give exact measurements as [...]

Hello! Welcome to Friday. I’m sitting here with Anaïs by my side and Ned asleep in the other room. The babies and I are really looking forward to this weekend. Robert will be home this evening to start his weekend and we have a barbecue planned for later with Jodie, her husband and their twins. [...]
