I’m so happy that January is nearly over. It’s such a long month and I am looking forward to getting paid and embracing February next week! January has felt like a long month, although when I look back I have been quite crafty and made some fun things. I was lucky to receive the 2022…
The run up to Christmas was super busy and I didn’t have any time to sew. However I picked up my Merry and Bright Mini Quilt on Christmas Day after the kids had gone to bed (when they eventually did!) and managed to finish the hand quilting, cut and sew the binding. Merry and Bright…
Every year I enjoy making a few new decorations. This year I added some easy Liberty cinnamon tree decorations. I had a lot of fun choosing my favourite Christmas Liberty prints and stitching up these Liberty cinnamon trees. So far I’ve made three and I love to see a splash of Liberty on our Christmas…
I’ve tried hard (and failed) to not buy too many Christmas craft kits. I always love the idea of them, but am usually short of time at this time of year. A few weeks ago I picked up the Merry and Bright mini quilt kit I had. This Pretty Fabrics and Trims kit contained the…

As soon as the kids went back to school I couldn’t help thinking how to bring some Autumn vibes into our house. I found some sweet Autumnal candles in Primark which I bought and squirreled away for a few weeks. Now we’re in October I feel like I can bring out my pumpkin candles, and…
