Figgy’s Christmas Pudding
‘Tis the season to be jolly and that involves lots of visiting friends and entertaining. It’s always lovely to take a gift with you but if you want to steer clear of the usual wine and chocolates, then I’ve got just the thing for you. I was sent a delicious Figgy’s Christmas Pudding to try...
Father’s Day Trophy
It’s been a long time since we’ve made anything for Dale to add to the collection of lovingly made items in his office! And it’s been quite a long time since we’ve done some crafting. So, Grace and I thought we’d make a trophy for Father’s Day. After hunting online for inspiration, we found some...
The Birthday Lion
At the beginning of the month it was Dale’s birthday. A few days before, the girls asked him what he would like for his birthday. He told them that he would really like a lie in. So, the big day arrived and Faith bounced in excitedly first thing in the morning. After wishing her Daddy...

My mother in law’s birthday is Christmas Eve but because she is usually at work then, we go round and have a...
Story cubes
Last month my sister took me to The Spirit of Christmas Fair in London. It was my birthday present and we had a lovely, girlie day out together. While I was there, I saw something called story cubes in the programme guide, which I thought looked like something Grace would love. Unfortunately, as is always...
Christmas crafting and Oxfam
In the past I have been guilty of spending far too much on Christmas presents to the point where the girls have still been unwrapping them a few days after Christmas! Over the past couple of years though, I have decided to go for a much simpler approach and use my crafting talents to make...
