I’ve had my Janone sewing machine for a couple of years now. I prefer to hand sew but often use my machine to finish off larger projects, especially my quilts. My sewing machine had a rather nasty plastic dust cover and I wanted to make something prettier to keep it clean. A couple of weeks…

Fillable wooden letter sea glass decoration
Every year we rent a gorgeous cottage on the beach in Devon. It’s the most amazing place and we would live there in a flash if we could. The children love to pick up sea glass and bits of pottery which has been washed onto the beach and we always bring back a pocketful to…
Monday happy things
Time to write my favourite post of the week again. This weeks’ Monday happies is easy as we’ve just had a wonderful half term. I love family time and a break from the normal routine was just what everyone needed. We had fun den building in the sunshine at home. I had time to try…
On my mantle – April
My mantle has a bit of a mono theme going on this month which means I’m bang on trend for once! I was actually quite relieved to take down our Easter decorations this year and return to some normality (if that’s possible with a 3 and 5 year old). The clutter that comes with family…

I love having a little space to curate and with Spring in the air I’m definitely channelling Spring indoors too. Earlier this month I made…
Learning with Lego sets
What child doesn’t love playing with Lego? My 4 year old was recently sent some lovely new Lego sets from George at Asda. Like any boy he loves his vehicles, and if they have moving parts, even better. He’s not at the stage when he can build them independently but he really enjoys making them…
