Thanks for encouraging my gut bacteria obsession family and friends and random blog readers. You guys are the best. I’m not joking. My sister in law sent me the link to this video I mean, transplanting gut bacteria seems gross, and dangerous and frankly ridiculous……….but at the same time I think it might be the […]
I made this a few years ago. I used it to announce that I was expecting Baxter. I took it off the wall months ago when we redecorated our hallway after all the loft conversion fun was finished with. I rearranged our pictures, swapped some around and put this into the pile of – don’t […]
Dancing was a big part of my childhood. I loved it, from the very first time. I think it helped me to develop skills I still use now, I made lots of friends. And I enjoyed escaping myself for a bit and being someone else. I loved feeling exhausted after a day spent dancing. I […]
This is pretty much the first thing I’ve crocheted other than a couple of scarf,s a baby hat and some random snowflakes. I really enjoyed it and it came together so quickly which is the wonderful thing about crochet. Now, if only I could remember what on earth I was thinking when I chose the […]
I sort of find Easter a weird one. At Christmas time it’s much easier to tell and retell the Christmas Story and warble one about peace of earth, goodwill to all, that kind of thing. But the Easter story lends itself less well to bedtime stories plus the whole Easter Bunny thing just confuses things […]
Before Christmas I found a pack of fabric in a local quilting shop and bought it with a friend’s baby in mind. The colour scheme was bright but gender neutral and I thought it would make a perfect sized playmat for the baby to kick back on. I bought some yellow spotty fabric to supplement […]
Brodie’s fifth birthday was the first time we’ve attempted any sort of party bag. I think there’s three ways to go with this – buy one decent item, maybe a book for each child, or fill a small bag with inexpensive tat which children will enjoy, or forego the whole party bag thing in lieu […]
When Brodie was one I bought him a Haba doll thinking how nice it would be if he had someone smaller than him to look after, and how he might enjoy having a sidekick to play with. All he ever did was undress the doll – Lukas- and hide his shoes. Luckily Grier was quick […]
I’d seen this bookcase and knew I’d love to get my hands on it. It’s plainess was just begging for some colour and pattern and messing around with. So we bought it and I used scrapbook papers and ribbons and stickers and other lovely things to make it into a doll’s house for Grier. I had […]
So after making Brodie’s quilt I felt the need to continue the aquatic theme and make a soft toy to go with it. Because probably, maybe sometime soon the boy is going to deem himself *whispers* too big for soft toys. I pinned this a while ago thinking it was really cool. The instructions are written in […]
