Spring is definitely in the air today. It may have just started raining where we live, but when I walked to the shops earlier today the sun was shining and I spotted so many daffodils and crocuses in bloom. Winter has gone on for far too long and I am ready to embrace Spring! With…
You all know that I love my monthly subscription boxes. I find that a monthly magazine and subscription box landing on my door mat really encourages me to be creative. I find it hard to see projects through (hello Shipping Forecast Quilt project!) but a monthly sub box is the perfect size for me. I…
Last year was the year of the Num Noms, with the collectable, scented craze making its way into households across the UK. 2017 sees the launch of Series 3 and Lights, bringing brand new food themes and funky characters to the shelves, to create even more ways to collect!

The other day one of my friends posted on Facebook how surprised she was that it took her four years to settle into her new home. Now, she moved from London to the South West, but I feel exactly the same just moving across London. It’s coming up to four years in our ‘new’ house…

With the sun shining today all thoughts of #DorisDay, which hit the UK yesterday, are long gone. We woke up to a few pieces of guttering in the garden, but thankfully no major damage. With my husband supporting us all our savings are pretty limited at the moment, which is something I can’t help but…
It feels like an age since I stitched something. Clothes alterations just don’t count although it does feel like I’m constantly stitching badges on my son’s Beaver uniform! Our whole family love Star Wars so when I spotted a Star Wars felt kit in the shops I knew it would make a great Christmas present…
