I was really pleased they all were finished in time, although I did have more projects in mind that didn’t even get started! First of all was a lovely little festive sew along by…… Continue reading Festive Makes
When I re-started this blog I promised myself I wouldn’t put pressure on blogging or apologise for the length of time between each post, but really, I am sorry it’s been so long since my last post! Life with a 15 month old has been pretty hectic there is barely any time to sit down…… Continue reading Happy New Year!
For the last few years I always say I would bake a Christmas cake but for one reason or another I left it too late or never got round to making it.
