One of the good things about living in the West Midlands, is being close to the NEC and all the great events that are hosted there. Coming up at the beginning of November there are some great creative shows on – and buying a ticket to any of them grants you access to all of …
Georgie and Lydia both love having trinket pots and boxes to stash away their favourite things, and this Mosaics My Pretty Jewellery Box from Craft Time is right up their street, especially as they can decorate it themselves with the included glittery foam tiles.
On Saturday, Georgie and I headed to our local Homebase store to take part in a special blogger’s craft workshop, where we made gifts for Mother’s Day from Homebase products. Georgie loves arts & crafts and so the morning with Jane from Tea & Crafting was right up her street. Jane had been challenged to …
Papercutz sent us a great selection of A4 and A3 paper and card to get crafting with, and so the kids and I had some fun on a rainy afternoon doing some paper crafts last week. We’ve got some A3 cards and coloured papers, and some A4 coloured papers, cards and label sheets.

When Hillarys got in touch offering me 1m² of fabric and asking me to take part in their craft competition I said yes immediately, with this idea already in mind. I’ve been wanting a pin board by my desk for a while, but wanted something attractive, as my work space is in the corner of …
I’ve been enjoying crochet for a few years now, and even blogged about what you need to get started with the hobby – my crochet starter kit. Knitting, however, has always been beyond me. I have tried to learn to knit a few times with very little success, but I am determined to give it …
When Georgie decided she wanted a fairy birthday party, I tried to think of something we could do with the kids to make it a bit more fun. I wanted something they could take home at the end of the party, as a nice reminder of a (hopefully) fun afternoon. I hit upon a variation of …
