I’m not sure how we will celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year. We want to do something but we’re not sure what. Hopefully our village or street will be doing something special to celebrate. Even if we are only celebrating at home we will need special Platinum Jubilee treats and we tried out an…

I love all things Bridgerton. I admit that the first episode of Season 1 was a slow burner for me, but I quickly fell in love with the characters, costumes and sets. Since Season 1 finished I read all the Bridgerton novels by Julia Quinn and I’m excited to see what happens in Season 2….

With Bridgerton Season 2 just about to drop of Netflix I’ve been on the look out for Bridgerton crafts! I found some really fun svg’s on Etsy and thought I would make myself a tote bag for work. The svg I found featured a pretty floral design with the words The Social Season Is Upon…

I’m so excited for the return of Bridgerton on our screens this week. I don’t have any good series to watch at the moment and it feels like I’ve been waiting for  this show for months! Over the weekend I took part in an online workshop to embroider a Bridgerton inspired hoop. It made me…
