Did you know that this year sees Winnie-the-Pooh’s 90th anniversary? The 14th October 2016 marks 90 years since A.A. Milne’s first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published!

This weekend I had my annual trip to The Handmade Fair. I went with my sister last year and had a brilliant time so was really keen to go again. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a bit like a festival for crafty people, about appreciating the beauty of handmade, and learning the skills…

I’m not sure how I’m going to cope when both my children are back at school. We have spent a lot of the summer playing, crafting and reviewing some cool new toys. This morning I was taking up my daughter’s trousers (I’m sure I will be letting them down again soon!) so it seems apt…
