Whilst pregnant I could not decide on a changing bag. I knew I needed one but I couldn’t find one I really liked or justify an Orla Kiely bag. I knew any bag would need to be spacious. I am a hoarder and on a good day I have carried nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bottles…

Having a clear out
Today was my first day of maternity leave. I only worked two days this week and after our bad news on Tuesday I decided to finish work yesterday instead of today. But how to spend this in-between time? Baby not yet here but too tired to go anywhere or do anything. I decided to ebay…
Selling stuff

A little handmade fun
I couldn’t resist making the lavender baby tutorial I saw over at molly chicken yesterday. I think I still have a lot to learn about which fabrics go well together but I love it! I’ve used some Orla Kiely and Michael Miller fabrics for the body and stuffed it with some dried lavender I picked…

Yo-yo
So I finally had some time to try and make a yo-yo. I bought three different varieties and sizes so I could make both regular round ones and flower shaped ones. The Clover Yo-yo maker is kind of cool but the instructions were obviously translated from Japanese and a little hard to follow, especially at…
New toys
Today I visited the Cath Kidston sale again and after much deliberating came away with a large sewing box. As you can see I have an almost identical smaller version but it hardly held anything. The new one is much much better. Some new purchases also arrived courtesy of ebay, some lovely vintage bias and…
Ground in the garden
I have a poorly boyfriend who has the flu but that hasn’t stopped us from shopping at Exmouth Market this afternoon. I was absolutely horrified to read that Hazel Blears has an Orla Kiely handbag. Orla Kiely is my favourite designer and I have enough handbags and accessories to wear something different every day for…
