Seasonal adventures in needle felting

Posted on October 27, 2018 by jenny

I’ve been on a bit of a roll the last few days. Not only did I finish a 3D Spooky House papercut but I also made a kit I treated myself to at the Knitting and Stitching Show earlier this month. I’ve always wanted to try needle felting and I’ve bought a few kits over…

Posted on October 26, 2018November 5, 2023 by jenny

You all know I love papercutting but don’t get nearly enough time to do it. Obviously the kids are on half term this week but I am too! Since I now work in a school I have been looking forward to some ‘me’ time (laughable I know!) this half term. Today I finally got it….

Easy Caramel Corn Snack Mix

Posted on October 18, 2018October 20, 2018 by jenny

I have a delicious recipe to share with you today. I don’t know about you but I love watching films at this time of year. With half term next week we have a few films to watch, so we needed something special to enjoy whilst watching it. We all love popcorn but it’s even better…

Hiding from the rain at the Knitting & Stitching Show

Posted on October 14, 2018 by jenny

I have been looking forward to today for weeks as I had planned to visit the Knitting & Stitching Show with a friend. We had a busy day out yesterday but I was just about ready to go when she arrived to pick me up. I love the Knitting & Stitching Show and try to go…

Delicious Chocolate Gingerbread Brownie recipe

Posted on September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 by jenny

With the weather turning a little cooler I felt it was time to start baking again. After such a long, hot summer I’ve been craving my Autumnal comforts, such as homemade brownie after a walk in the woods. I noticed a jar of stem ginger in the back of the fridge and thought I would…

Mollie Makes Kitsch Festive Loom Kit

Posted on September 29, 2018 by jenny

Regular readers will know that every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have had a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more! I’ve been making more time for grown up crafting and I love to make the kits and hopefully try something…

Mindful weekend sewing {Summer Craftpod}

Mindful weekend sewing {Summer Craftpod}

Posted on September 23, 2018 by jenny

I’m cutting it pretty fine with the Summer Craftpod box as today marks the first day of Autumn. The subscription box arrived a few months ago but it’s taken me ages to find time to make the projects – Summer holidays and working leave little creative time. The constant rain this weekend has kept us…

Win a copy of the Rock Art Handbook

Posted on August 24, 2018 by jenny

We’ve decorated a lot of painted rocks over the summer holidays. We’re all addicted to making them and we’ve ended up with such a huge stash that we’ve been hiding them wherever we go! I love learning new techniques so was excited to receive a copy of the Rock Art Handbook: Techniques and Projects for Painting,…

A little slow sewing

Posted on August 4, 2018August 3, 2023 by jenny

This year is all about finishing things. I write that because I am so terrible at starting projects but not finishing them. For Christmas my mum bought me the cutest little sewing kit to make a sloth. I adore sloths, they are my favourite animal. Unfortunately it took me a while to start stitching this…
