It's been such a busy month, first off Eva was sick, then I was and then my husband was. Somewhere in the middle of all the illness I have managed to re-stock my shop with the majority of my new ...

Last Monday I heard a gentle thud on my doormat, too heavy to be a bill but too light to be a fabric order, it sounded like a magazine, but my regular subscription had already been deposited. It ...

I was asked last week to make some special Baby Shower bunting, with bees on. 'I don't do bee's' is what my brain said, 'yes of course' is what I typed. The Mummy-to-be wanted it as a decorat...

Does anyone know why all the bad things seem to happen at once? Last week was a total nightmare and I sincerely hope this week will be better. I don't see how it could be worse. I got myself ve...

First of all let me start with an apology. I have had a very busy Easter and even though I had a little bit of childcare I totally underestimated how much time I would need to be making up orders...

Eva's playschool requested that today she attended wearing an Easter Bonnet, preferably one that I have helped her to make. So here's what we did: First we dug out from the bottom of the dr...

Yesterday I had a rare but deserved day out. Part of my plan for 2013 is to do a trade show but decided it might be a good idea to visit a trade show to see what it's all about. I grabbed a co...
