Last weekend my husband very kindly made me a cupboard for my handbags. I have a lovely collection of Orla Kiely bags and although I pretty much use the same one every day I wanted somewhere to keep them all. My handbag is voluminous to say the least. It has to hold lots of things…

Hickory Dickory Dock craft
My son is really enjoying being a part of his new nursery. I’m enjoying the routine (and a 3 hour break from my son every day, what’s not to love?) and he’s learning more than I could have imagined. This term has been all about nursery rhymes and he came home with a booklet for…

Instead we opted for some simple Chinese New Year tea light holders. We collected some old (clean!) glass jars from the recycling bin, a bottle…

Three Kings, a craft for Epiphany
We took our tree and Christmas decorations down yesterday. It took hours but I’m quite pleased our house has now returned to normal. My son is very sad though as he adored turning off the big light “to see how pretty the tree looks”. He really ‘got’ Christmas this year and enjoyed every minute. Three…
