How To Look As Cool As Your Baby (With Little Effort!)

Matching with your little one is beyond adorable and having the clothes designed for you can be easier than ever!  I wanted to get Sam and George Denis a matching set and after hours of trawling the internet, I couldn’t find anything  personal enough.  That’s when I remembered that our local community college has a print room which offers really good prices. There are print … Continue reading How To Look As Cool As Your Baby (With Little Effort!)

Why I’m Cleaning Tap Water And You Should Too

Ask most people I know and they will agree that 90% of the time I’m carrying around my trusty, pink Chilly bottle filled with water. Water is just so healthy and I prefer it to anything else. Except red wine but I don’t think I could stomach a diet of Shiraz so water it is.  To say I want to “clean” my water almost sounds like … Continue reading Why I’m Cleaning Tap Water And You Should Too

‘Be Still and Know That I Am God’ – Psalm chapter 46 verse 10  I love to be organised. I love to make plans. I also love my yearly diary that keeps me organised and making those plans. So what happens when something doesn’t go to plan?  I have been blessed with a wonderful baby boy, he is so precious.

Maternity Bettine Dress

A couple of week’s before my baby shower, Tilly & The Buttons released two maternity sewing patterns… Perfect timing, as if you have read my Pregnancy Conundrums post you will know the woes I had maternity clothes shopping and I wasn’t keen to start that all again when looking for a dress for the day.  I chose the Bettine pattern and some gorgeous fabric I’ve had sat … Continue reading Maternity Bettine Dress

Pregnancy Conundrums – Things I Wish They Told You

At 20 weeks pregnant, I have come across plenty of conundrums that I don’t have the answers for. Some that I haven’t been able to find answers to when I’ve asked at appointments and others that have crept up on me that I wouldn’t have thought to ask. Obviously, Google is only a couple of taps away but I’ve already lost several hours to Google … Continue reading Pregnancy Conundrums – Things I Wish They Told You

Home – Building Your Own Conservatory

Living in our cottage has been three and a half years spent coming up with clever storage solutions and making the most of every nook and cranny. We have pondered the addition of a conservatory for extra space over the last year and the soon arrival of a third person to the cottage is a perfect reason to get started.   If there’s one thing Sam … Continue reading Home – Building Your Own Conservatory

Travel Review – Ulster Folk Museum 

May last year I visited the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum just outside of Belfast, I can honestly say I have never enjoyed a museum trip more. I was looking at some photos from our trip and thought I just had to share my experience – it’s the perfect day out for vintage lovers and anyone who appreciates architecture and gardens throughout the century’s. Actually, it’s … Continue reading Travel Review – Ulster Folk Museum

Stash Busting – How to Make a Cable Drum Footstool

Hands up fellow sewers, dressmakers and crafters who else is guilty of a HUGE fabric scrap pile?! In a bid to do my bit in not being wasteful, at the end of each project I dutifully collect any ‘useable’ scraps and scurry them away into my scraps bag… Which is almost bursting to the seams! So I’ve set myself a challenge to use them, one … Continue reading Stash Busting – How to Make a Cable Drum Footstool
