Hi there, I’m Vicki

Mama, photographer and crafty queen living in North Wales with my fabulous little family.

This is my little corner of the internet where I capture the moments that I want to hold on to and keep close, whether it is through my writing or photography. I believe that it is in these moments that our lives become extraordinary.

The Garden Party by Wendy Clarke | book tour

AD | book tour – I love a good thriller so when I was invited on the book tour for Wendy Clarke’s new book, The Garden Party, it sounded right up my street so I was more than happy to get involved. This is what I thought.

Beyond Beige by Sylvie Boulay

AD | book tour – as someone who has a day job in the care sector especially for those people who are 50 and above, I was really interested in the premise of Beyond Beige which describes itself as sharing the undeniable truth of of growing old. I was worried that it would be a […]

Her Daughter by Jen Craven

Journal Prompt 2024 – 1/52 | My Word for the Year

One of my (many) goals for 2024 is to write more. It could be an article, a story or a poem but I just want to get back into the habit of writing every day. That means this space should be getting a little busier as I try hard to carve out some time in […]

How cute is this teeny tiny little octopus. When a friend asked me recently to make a little palm sized octopus for her daughter, I managed to come up with this little guy using the 64,000 images available online. So, if you’re like me and couldn’t find a free pattern online, I thought I would […]

What does the future hold for Tippytupps?

This is something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while. As my two Bears start to get older, how much I am willing to share about them in this space is starting to change too. The questions I started to ask myself though is if I’m not writing about my children, what do I […]

Feeling Festive with Cotton Traders
