We had planned a warm Easter school holiday trip to Estepona, south of Malaga, Spain. In reality we were rained in, cold and were grateful of the heated seats in the hire car! It took us 3 days to finally visit the lovely town of Estepona in all it’s sunny glory. It was worth it.Continue reading “Flower pot madness!”

Mickey Mouse inspired
Last week I went to my local Hobbycraft for some supplies and saw a new fat quarter bundle of Mickey Mouse fabric. What fun! I decided to have a go at making a document wallet in the lovely Mickey Mouse fabric as well as some little wallets and purses. I will definitely need toContinue reading “Mickey Mouse inspired”
Sewing needlecases

La La land! – The Yellow Dress!
I was looking forward to watching La La Land when I saw the trailer well before Christmas. My husband wasn’t so enthusiastic!

Yes, I saw the headlines and heard about the awards, but it didn’t matterContinue reading “La La land! – The Yellow Dress!”
A Retro Christmas – Nostalgia required!
I started my Etsy shop in September 2015 and I didn’t really properly prepare for Christmas, I was just learning the ropes, trying new things out and researching what sold and what seemed to be the most popular trends. This year, I started Christmas earlier than I meant to! It came about on a trip toContinue reading “A Retro Christmas – Nostalgia required!”
