Starting my week with the Weekly Edit is a ritual I’ve kept for years. It’s my favourite Monday morning anchor—a chance to slow down, celebrate the ‘small wins,’ and gather the smiles from the week behind us. Part reflection and part record-keeping, it’s my way of documenting our family’s adventures before the next chapter begins.

The Weekly Edit {Week 13/2026}

Last week was a musical week for us. My son took part in his final school concert before he leaves to take his GCSEs, and I also performed with my local choir. We are both looking forward to a break from rehearsals over the Easter holidays.

My son celebrated his 16th birthday a few weeks ago and received a driving lesson as one of his presents. It took place at an old airfield and we enjoyed watching him drive a manual car. He’s previously had driving experiences at Mercedes Benz World, so this was more experience for him. I can’t believe we will be paying for proper driving lessons soon.

I’m still on a roll with my jigsaw puzzles and completed a 1000 piece Happily jigsaw featuring vintage matchbox covers. This was another fun design.

Over the weekend we went for a walk in our local woods and the bluebells were already beginning to flower. This feels so early but is a lovely sign of Spring. My dog loves a walk in the woods so it was lovely to be out.

I finished the little patchwork needle book pattern which I bought a few months ago. I can’t resist making small EPP hexagons, especially when I’m using beautiful Liberty fabrics. I used green and white fabrics for the needle book, some of which I bought at The Stitch Festival recently.
