Easter Bird Houses - 1

Morning! Happy Friday everyone. Friday? Again? Does that not seem a little odd to you? It all goes by so quickly. A project that is still ongoing is my Easter table. I bought these great wooden birdhouses from the rather fabulous Hobbycraft. They were unfinished when I picked them up so I gave them a [...]

Easter Table 2011 Decorations - 1

Hello! How are you? I feel like I’ve not been at this computer for an age and it’s a bit strange. Strange but nice. I’m not great at sitting still at a desk which you may have gathered by the amount of typos that regularly feature on my site. I literally type, publish what I’ve [...]

Good morning! How are you all doing? I’ve got some exciting things to share with you and show you over the next few weeks. I’ll be taking my camera on my travels and will document these exciting things. I think excitement is so important. As an adult I have noticed how I feel less and [...]

Easter Table 11 -1

Good morning! How are you? We’re good here, my twins are making us laugh a lot nowadays which is something that brings more joy than I know what to do with. A deep joy that I didn’t know existed. If someone had asked me what it was that I was most looking forward to about [...]

Fabric Easter Eggs - 9

Good morning! I don’t want to go any further without sending my thoughts and prayers out to the people of Japan. It’s unimaginable and to see it all captured so clearly on camera, it’s like watching a horror film. I am praying for the people of that country and for others that are arriving to [...]

Easter Tree Birds - 1

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 [...]

Happy Ever After - 10

Good morning! It’s sunny here in West Sussex, sunny but very chilly. When I look out of the window I can imagine that it’s balmy and warm and then I see that the trees are bare and I know that the breeze is in no way cooling but freezing. But, BUT, the sun is out [...]

Friday, I

Yesterday was the day that I turned the house in to an absolute bomb site. You see I started a giant spring clean and the way I do it is to make an enormous mess first and then spend a week getting it all cleared up, much to my mum’s bafflement. She would do it [...]

Gilt Mirror Makeover - 1

There is a corner at the end of the hall that doesn’t have an awful lot going on in it. It’s a lovely space with a window right there so the light that is thrown in is delicious. It needed something doing with it and I had two pieces that I’d had in mind for [...]

Sewing Box Makeover - 1

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 [...]
