This year I celebrated my first Mothers’ Day. Edward gave me a card (with a little help from Daddy) and we spent a lovely day together. I hate having my photograph taken and as a result very few photographs of me and Edward exist. So for this weeks’ Gallery theme I’ve chosen a photograph of my mum with Edward on our recent trip to Bruges. Bruges was quite cold and I forgot to take Edward’s coat out with us when we went on a horse and carriage ride. Mum wrapped him in the blanket and cuddled him to keep him…

1. I’m currently in Bruges, my favourite European city, with my husband, son and mum. I’ve spent the last two days drinking beer, eating yummy food and doing lots of sight seeing. We’ve also been on a horse and carriage ride around Bruges and a canal boat trip. 2. Edward is 1 year old tomorrow and I am so very happy to share the day with my husband and mum. I’ve had an amazing year and loved every second since he was born. 3. I’m cheerful because I have a friend to share my thoughts, worries and fears with. She…

However, post-baby all the quirky features we loved became obstacles. The rickety old lift, the changing floor…

Ooops, I didn’t have time to post yesterday. I was too tired to to do anything after work last night except watch Ugly Betty! Today my mum visited us on a day trip from the Isle of Wight (thanks mum!). We went for lunch at a great gastro-pub in Winchmore Hill and she helped me with my knitting. She also helped me understand the instructions that came with my bias tape maker and got to grips with the fabric button kit. No pics of my mum advising us on the garden or making more curtains. Instead a photo of a…

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Green is the New Black in a giveaway on the Make London blog the other week. The book arrived today and looks great so it is packed in my Orla Kiely weekend bag. Monday is our three year anniversary so I’m ready to be whisked off for a romantic break in Bruges, just waiting for the boyfriend to come and get me. Included with the book were some discount vouchers for the first workshop I book at the make lounge, so I will be looking for courses as soon as I…
