As I am very fortunate to live in Cornwall, I have been inspired to create something that reflects the Cornish coastline and combine some of my sewing talents. Some of you may have heard that over the Christmas, New Year and into January period we endured some rather major storms – so much that part … Continue reading
As yesterday was Mothering Sunday – to use the church liturgical name for the day, Matthew and I made some plans for treating his mother. Here in the UK Mother’s Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent and therefore varies according to the date of Easter. Lunch was booked at the hotel where … Continue reading
Well it’s been a while – have you missed me? Last year my husband and I committed to something that will be potentially life-changing but that became very time consuming. It will, hopefully, be come more time consuming again but for now life is relatively quiet again. Sorry to be quite so cryptic but all … Continue reading
Matthew and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary yesterday. The traditional fourth wedding anniversary gift is flowers or plants but as we are on a bit of an economy drive at the moment we agreed no presents (though Matthew did, naughty boy, buy me some freesia’s which are one of my favourite flowers).

Having been a bit thrifty over the last few months I’ve been collecting points on Anchor butter in order to claim rewards. Initally it was my intention to try and get some kitchen equipment … Continue reading
Although I finished these cats while ago, it has taken me a while to find time to put finger to keyboard to talk about them! They originate from the same pattern as the puppy doorstops but my original focus was the puppies. I felt it was time to give the cats a go and here … Continue reading
Having been meaning to find some way of selling on-line and dithering about as to which is the best option, I can now declare my Folksy shop open, ta dah! There are only a couple of items listed at the moment but I will be adding more, so please do keep checking it out. I … Continue reading
Following on from my last post, we enjoyed an excellent weekend hosting our 7 month old neice, who is really quite a charmer! She smiled and giggled and was generous with the cuddles! We did get her in the high chair, although we had to improvise slightly with the straps as it turned out that … Continue reading
