Don’t tell me I don’t give you a good time on holiday, now help me wash these buttons. Look at all these! What a lot! It took a while but I think we uncovered some treasure – lots of unusual and interesting buttons. They were a ‘donation’ fron one of Mr Primrose’s new ‘found’ cousins. [...]
Whilst sorting out clothes that no longer fit, have disintegrated and otherwise just need to go (and make room in bulging cupboards for stuff we do need). I was surprised how much denim there was in the pile. Some were just grown out of, others were barely hanging together, no longer fit even for gardening [...]
…….. but not necessarily in that order! I’ve had a lot of fun today putting ‘fabriccy bundles’ in the shop. Za Za by Erin Michael Amy Butler fabrics – damask rose palette I’ve added some three, four, and five piece ‘bundles’ or should I say ‘collections’? See I can’t even decide what to call them. [...]

This is what I collected from school today! I detest this part of the school year. I know that seems a bit strong but my daughter left primary school today. I can’t cope with the whole saying ‘goodbye’ thing. As a child I’d just walk away and avoid the situation as an adult I’ve had [...]

I was busy, busy, busy writing the *** tutorial (Am I just slow or something? It seems to take me ages. I’m sure other people have [...]

Remember to volunteer to drive children to end of term rounders match. Remember to prepare picnic for family to take to [...]
Sorry! I couldn’t resist the title. My two little buttons have morphed and this is what they became. The blue one became the middle of a yo-yo which I trimmed with a little ric-rac. I think it looks quite olde worlde, vintage like . Nice simple touch to add to a t-shirt. The little burgundy [...]
We’ve been trying to get hold of an allotment for YEARS! We’re surrounded by fields here. You’d think that somone would have a piece of spare land we could use.
