Well, the kids are on holiday and we've had fun doing various activities and playdates but the weather isn't altogether summery. Today we decided on an easy walk to the shops but the smallest suggestion of rain and thunder put a stop to any plans. The kids are terrified of thunder so refused to get... Continue Reading →

It was my wedding anniversary a week ago.

Yep, an excuse to spend endless... Continue Reading →

I've been lost recently under a pile of craft stuff. I've been decluttering the house (and I've been ruthless!) but I was adamant I wasn't going to go through any of my craft items. I was convinced that I needed everything I had and that everything had a home. Only when the rest of the... Continue Reading →
Well a few weeks ago it emerged that my sister (the knitter - http://www.etsy.com/shop/millykins) watched home shopping channels whilst she knitted. In my time I have been a huge fan of watching the crafting programmes on these channels; they gave me the confidence to start crafting as they have lots of hints and tips and... Continue Reading →
So I decided to show 2 new home cards that I made recently. Two of my sister's moved house on the same day to the same are (near me - it must be my charm ;o) ) One sister loves monkeys hence the monkey card. The 'house' card is simply made with different coloured papers... Continue Reading →
