Last week was the first full week my husband spent out of hospital and it was good to have him home. To give him a chance to recuperate the kids spent the week at Super Camp. I was a little apprehensive how they would get on but they loved it. They did a multi-activity week…
As I lay in bed last night I realised that for the first time in over a year I hadn’t written or published my weekly Happy List post. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to share, life is full and busy, but I was actually living life rather than blogging about it. So, slightly…
I’m sure everyone has the Moppe mini chest of drawers from Ikea. It’s not cheap but we’ve had ours for years as they are perfect for storing my smaller sewing notions. The only problem I have with things from Ikea, is that everyone has them, so I love to add a personal touch. As an…

Happy Monday everyone, hope you had a great weekend. So many good things are happening at the moment. I received an early birthday present from my sister in the shape of the new Orla Kiely colouring book. I love this book a lot! The name Orla Kiely goes hand in hand with print and this…
I spent an enjoyable weekend planning some home improvement. We were in the West End on Saturday and popped into my favourite shop, the Orla Kiely shop in Seven Dials. Have you seen her new range of homewares? There are lovely things but what I really love are the room displays which give you an…
