Did you have a good weekend? I can’t believe it’s Monday again, time for me to write my weekly Monday Happy List post. We had a pretty quiet weekend as both the children seem to be laid low with germs. They are adjusting to being back at school and seem to have had permanent coughs…
Every year Halloween celebrations seem to get bigger and better. This year our preparations started quite early. We’ve already made a start on our Halloween crafts, we shared our egg carton ghosts yesterday, and have so many more planned. Halloween is fun for my children but it has a much darker side that you are…
Just to prove that we don’t sit indoors and spend all our time crafting a few weeks ago we spent the morning at Barton Farm Country Park near the pretty town of Bradford-on-Avon. Every time we visit we find something new and this time was no exception. When we arrived we headed straight for the…

You can’t have missed the fact that Autumn has arrived in the northern hemisphere. Last week we celebrated the Autumn Equinox and went on a walk to see how many different leaves we could find. I love Autumn and nothing beats going for a walk, kicking leaves and spotting signs of nature changing all around…
It can’t have escaped your notice that pins are really popular at the moment. My collection has been growing steadily for weeks, thanks to my Lucky Box subscription and Instagram. I can’t help but see a pretty pin and have to follow the trail until I have it for my collection! My enamel pin badge…
