Tonight we decided to treat ourselves to a meal out and went to the Quality Chop House in Farringdon, London. We had happy memories of eating there a couple of years ago and had never made the time to go back until tonight. Anyway, it is still there and we had a fantastic meal, with…

A little owl love
I finally got round to making a cute little owl, inspired by the tutowlrial at moonstitches. I really enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a template to follow. Although I made many mistakes I think I learnt more making it this way.

I wasn’t too sure what it would look like in the shop, but it looks fantastic in our beautiful, sunny bedroom. I have matching napkins too, (but they’re not much use in the bedroom!). It almost looks like a feature…
