It's not secret that we love crafts and getting creative but I am also very aware that it can be exhausting and difficult to constantly look for ideas. Mothers Day is always that time of year where social media fills with the homemade artistic creations which leaves the glitter phobic among us ... READ MORE »

How to make a whale costume
We love books in our house and we also love crafts so World Book Day is right up our street. It's not something that our school took part in previously but the last few years, they've taken a "dress up if you want to" approach. So this year the Bear asked to be Barney Willow as the black cat from ... READ MORE »

30 Day Journal Challenge – Day 1
Fancy giving a 30 day journal challenge a go? If you know me in real life, then you know that I am a planner.

Herringbone skinny scarf – free knitting pattern

Tuff Tray Ideas: sand and slime dinosaur world
Now I would love to take credit for this dinosaur world, but it was all the Bear. Both my children are pretty creative so when either of them comes to me and says that they want to make something, I am pretty indulgent and on a whole - unless they ask for help - I leave them to it. So, when she ... READ MORE »
Crochet Bunting – Free Pattern
There's nothing like a little bit of bunting to brighten up a garden or decorate a celebration. I went looking for a crochet pattern to make from bunting for our VE day celebrations but all the ones I tried I just couldn't make it look right.
