Mindful stitching with the Winter Craftpod box

Posted on January 22, 2018January 22, 2018 by jenny

Before Christmas I received the Winter Craftpod box. This is my favourite subscription box at the moment. It comes quarterly which means I actually have time to make what’s inside and enjoy it! What was inside the Winter Craftpod box? There were two Winter crafts – a sweet stitching project to embroider Winterberries in a small hoop,…

Posted on December 11, 2017July 21, 2019 by jenny

As a stay at home mum it’s a sad truth that mealtimes fall to me. Breakfast and packed lunches aren’t too bad but by the time it comes to the evening meal I have often run out of ideas – especially after the school run, after school clubs and homework are sorted. The children are…

I was recently sent a new subscription box to try at home for coffee. My husband is a huge coffee fiend and can’t get through the day without grinding his beans and getting his stove top coffee pot out. I love the weekends when the house is filled with the smell of fresh coffee. Blue…

Stitching {Summer Craftpod Sub Box}

Posted on September 3, 2017September 3, 2017 by jenny

It’s been a while since I tried a subscription box just for me. I suppose I haven’t really found any that I’ve wanted to try regularly. But when I received an email about the Summer Craftpod box I immediately signed up as it was all about cacti and moths! You can read what I thought…
