Over the weekend my daughter was given homework from her new teacher. Thankfully it wasn’t Maths or English, the class was told to go and have some fun! So we seized the chance to take Little Sis to her favourite park. Her brother was able to take his model boat on the boating lake whilst…

I think it’s fair to say that I love an embroidery hoop. I’ve been tidying up my craft space for a little Autumnal revamp and put all my finished embroidery hoops in a crate. It was surprising just how many I had, and how many more I found when I was tidying up. Adventures in…
