I have something a little different to share with you today. I love to show you the contents of the subscription boxes I try and I received an email about Carnivore Club asking me to try it. I’m not a foodie but I loved the sound of this subscription box. In a nutshell, Carnivore Club is a monthly delivery subscription service of British artisan charcuterie. Once a month, boxes which are full to the brim with unique, innovative charcuterie are delivered straight to customers’ doors all over the world. The company began in Canada and America in 2013 and progressed…

Now regular readers will know I love subscription boxes. There’s nothing better than a little box dropping on to your doormat that contains something nice. A while ago I came across Pocket and Pin on Instagram who sell modern vintage haberdashery. Their Habdash Sub Box caught my eye so when I saw they had produced one with a Coastal theme I snapped one up. It arrived yesterday in a little white cardboard box. Carefully wrapped in tissue paper was a lovely bundle of craft supplies. There was a selection of ribbons – one with seagulls, a white polka dot on…

Instagram has become my favourite place to hang out these days. There is so much inspiration and I love discovering new people and brands to follow. Unfortunately it’s also bad for my bank balance! I use hashtags to find the kinds of things I like and keep finding new subscription boxes I like the look of! Fortunately the post comes whilst my husband is at work so he hasn’t uncovered my secret just yet… The latest subscription box to land was the Treat Box from Not Shabby Very Chic. It came in a large flat box, tied with twine and…

Happy Monday everyone. We had a lovely quiet weekend at home for once so I am feeling rested to face the week ahead. This post is my chance to reflect on the week gone by as the days race past. I get to work with some amazing brands and was so excited to receive an email from Cath Kidston, asking if I wanted to take part in their Mother’s Day campaign. They sent me a wonderful gift box containing everything I needed to make a Mother’s Day rosette. I enjoyed stitching a Mother’s Day rosette, take a look at my…

2016 is my year of putting myself first. I think it’s easy as a parent to spend so much time worrying about your family that you forget you matter too. Don’t worry, I’m not neglecting my children, just spending a little less time catching up on Facebook and investing more time in me and the things that make me happy. So far I’ve taken small steps. Every week I sing in a choir which I love. On a daily basis I try to spend less time on my laptop and more time reading, making and colouring (I love my adult…

I’ve been really enjoying using my Life Planner this year. I know we’re only a few weeks into 2016 but I’ve been pretty good at using it every day and keeping on top of my to do list. Now I have a Planner I seem to be more addicted to stationery than usual. Over the last few weeks I’ve been buying lots of stationery from Hema and Kikki.K so I thought I would try a Brimbles Stationery Box. Brimbles Stationery subscription box There are lots of options available to purchase but I chose the Brimbles Stationery Box. I only wanted…

I do love receiving fun mail which is why I love trying out and featuring subscription boxes on my little blog. The latest one we’ve tried out is the Sockflow.com subscription box which is a monthly sock subscription or sock of the month club, where they pick great quality, coloruful, stylish socks for you. A few days ago a colourful envelope popped through my door containing this sweet little bag. Inside were two pairs of socks and a little card with washing instructions. Now I have to be honest and say I wasn’t sure if the socks were for adults…

For once I am happy it’s Monday because now we can countdown to half term. Although this term is going quickly I can’t wait for a week off from the school run and after school clubs. My children need a break from school too and the chance to relax and be themselves again. So far February has been good to us. I started by stitching a new month in my gorgeous Year in Stitches calendar, surely the nicest way to mark the changing months. My son was invested into Beavers last week. He’s been going along for a few weeks…

Today I wanted to share the latest subscription box I have tried. I love to sew so I thought I would try a subscription box from My Fabric House. I bought myself the Explore Package for £10 and a little parcel arrived containing 4 pieces of fabric, some bobble trim, ribbon, appliques and buttons. I love the colours of the fabric and had the perfect project in mind for the strawberry fabric. A while ago my Instagram feed was full of the most gorgeous patchwork letters, which were a free pieced alphabet from Moda and their amazing designers. I really…
