The sun is out, and our bikes are ready to go. We went for a lovely bicycle ride last weekend. An hour or so into Bristol’s surrounding country side, and then back home again. The girls had a great time on the back of our bikes, watching the countryside go by. They where so tired … Continue reading »
I happened upon a giant bag of polystyrene beanbag balls, some time ago. If I’m being totally honest I have been storing them in the garden for the past 3 years. In a great big blue bag, which the kids loved jumping on. Paul finally had enough of moving the bag around our garden. So … Continue reading »
Spring was here, and now it’s gone again. I got a little excited and let my mind wonder of into a spring garden. And what do you need for a day in the garden?… a new skirt. I found the curtain fabric in a charity shop on holiday last year, in Wales. It just screams … Continue reading »

How ever there is always room for a bit more bunting and an afternoon of card making. The bunting is really quick and so … Continue reading »
It’s an old idea, but a great one. And if you haven’t tried this before, you really should. All those pairs of trousers that are not quite your style any more, the wrong flare/skinny/bell leg shape, are just waiting to have a new life. I have a pile of trousers, I just can’t give away. … Continue reading »
This is a great little gift bag. And takes no time at all. You don’t have to be precise with your measurements. Just make it a little bigger then what you think it should be. You will need: A piece of fabric of your chosen size. I chose to use seer sucker. As it frays … Continue reading »
Having 2 little girls, I have never had to worry about the baby boy fountain. When the cold air meets their sensitive bits, and they can’t help but pee. I made these for some friends a few years back, and with the new addition of my beautiful nephew, I had the best reason to make … Continue reading »
