Posted on May 23, 2022 by jenny

Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to…

Win a puzzle from Jigsaw Avenue

Posted on May 22, 2022November 6, 2022 by jenny

The other day I told you all about Jigsaw Avenue,  who create unique poster-like designs inspired from contemporary art. We find puzzles are a great family activity and something we enjoy doing together. We had fun with the Paris jigsaw from their Cities range, a 1000 piece puzzle, featuring a cool collage style. These puzzles…

Bridgerton crafts to celebrate the return of the Ton

Posted on May 19, 2022May 22, 2022 by jenny

I love a period drama and binge watched the latest season of Bridgerton. I’m glad I read the books first because the series was very different from the book. It was still enjoyable and I binge watched it in a few days. I’m looking forward to season 3 sometime in 2023, especially as they are…

DIY Union Jack Liberty flag

Posted on May 14, 2022May 18, 2022 by jenny

Did you know that there was a ‘right’ way to hang a Union Jack? Apparently an upside-down Union Jack is used as a sign of distress. Even worse, it can be seen as offensive to some! Last week I was playing around with some of my gorgeous Liberty London Tana Lawn to create a fun…

Spring is my favourite season, along with Autumn. I love watching my garden come to life after the winter months and this year I have reaped the rewards of all the planting I did last year. Spring stitching with the Spring Craftpod 2022 box My garden is full of wild violets which I can never…
