With the children going back to school tomorrow I wanted to make them something fun and useful too. We love crafting with Duck Tape and this Duck Tape hand sanitiser holder is both practical and pretty.

Crafts for adults
Easy Bichon Frise cookies
Did you know that today is National Dog Day? I didn’t until I received lots of emails about it from people trying to sell me something this morning. We’ve had our Bichon Frise for 7 months now and although having a puppy is a lot of hard work, we wouldn’t be without him. Today seemed…

My Sew A Little Happiness Every Day sampler
I know that lockdown isn’t over at all but last week, my son returned to school for a very few hours, and it felt like that phase of our life was over. At the start of lockdown Sarah from Pretty Fabrics & Trims mentioned she was going to start a 20″ square sampler, adding some…
