It’s been a busy week but all week I’ve been looking forward to visiting The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia. It’s been a few years since I last went but you can never have enough fabric shopping. I deposited the children at school, hopped on the tube and found myself outside London Olympia….
You all know by now that I’m addicted to the internet. Thanks to my techie husband I’ve been an early adopter of most things, including Twitter, Facebook, blogging and all those things that came and went, hello MySpace. I’m careful what I share on line and it’s really interesting juggling this with my children. They…
There is so much excitement about the new The Lego Batman Movie in our house. You may remember we were lucky to attend the premiere a few weeks ago. Both my children love their superheroes so I knew they would love the DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum from Imaginext. Imaginext DC Super Friends Arkham Asylum…
I’m really enjoying reading books at the moment and the latest good read is the lovely Paper Hearts and Summer Kisses by Carole Matthews.

You all know that I love my monthly subscription boxes. I find that a monthly magazine and subscription box landing on my door mat really encourages me to be creative. I find it hard to see projects through (hello Shipping Forecast Quilt project!) but a monthly sub box is the perfect size for me. I…
Last year was the year of the Num Noms, with the collectable, scented craze making its way into households across the UK. 2017 sees the launch of Series 3 and Lights, bringing brand new food themes and funky characters to the shelves, to create even more ways to collect! We’re celebrating the arrival of these…
The other day one of my friends posted on Facebook how surprised she was that it took her four years to settle into her new home. Now, she moved from London to the South West, but I feel exactly the same just moving across London. It’s coming up to four years in our ‘new’ house…
