I've had some much needed craft inspiration today. I came across a card making colour challenge with the aim of making a card using the colours craft, grey and yellow. Here is my entry: I used my Sizzix Hero Arts stamp and die set for the butterflies and flowers and my Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous... Continue Reading →
I'm not going to lie - things have been tough round here for the last few weeks. For those that read my last blog post you will know that my son has been very unwell (if you want to read my last post you can click here), we have attended a funeral for my husband's... Continue Reading →
Some weeks only cake will do. Or chocolate. Maybe wine. I'm rather late showing my last Christmas card but that is due to Christmas not exactly going as planned. My husbands Uncle died on the 21st December and my 4 year old son was rushed to hospital early on the 22nd December. He had been... Continue Reading →
I'm still here - just. The last few weeks have been crazy bonkers. I suppose it's that time of year. I have never know so many school Christmas activities that needed so much parental input. Different activities for each child on different days, various birthdays including mine and the usual round of paediatrician appointments. The... Continue Reading →
I've become a little too distracted in the last few weeks to do much blogging. It's that time of year where my brain becomes foggy and I'm a little (OK very) panicked about what presents I still need to buy, has it arrived (oh Amazon, you are my best friend) and will they like it....

I went to Cornwall in August and as ever had to take craft/art supplies. The kids don't cope well with going away (the uncertainty of new places etc) but at the same time they love it. At the end of the evening I needed something to relax with to try to forget about that day's drama and... Continue Reading →
It was my Husband's birthday just over a week ago. In my head I had planned this hand drawn card but the reality was that I was clearly brewing my sinus infection and couldn't focus or sit at my craft desk for too long. I had bought a stamp set it the summer with various sports... Continue Reading →
Well, I shall keep this short and sweet. I've not been crafting as much in the last few weeks as I was full of cold and feeling completely rubbish. As of this morning I couldn't cope with the pain in my head any longer so saw my Doctor. She promptly diagnosed a sinus infection and... Continue Reading →
Well, half term came and went. Both kids came down with a heavy cold and chose to spend their days in their pjs glued to Minecraft. We made it out the house briefly but their tolerance for being out and about was low so we opted for long (oh my, some days were very long!)... Continue Reading →
Slightly random title but the card is a little random! My younger sister had her birthday this week. She loves knitting. She loves koala bears. She loves her sleep. Put it all together and what do you get? Yes, a sleeping, knitting koala. I bought my daughter this great book http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1409587606?keywords=usborne%20drawing%20animals&qid=1446055234&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 It breaks down the process...
