Laughing my way through being a mum of five
* This post is NOT a collaboration or promotion, all opinions are my own* So, January always seems to be the month to set goals and targets, and its about time I set one for my weight. After much consideration, postponing and deliberately making excuses, I’ve now decided my new plan for weight loss…
Jacob only goes to nursery in the mornings at the moment, and I was rather hoping he’d be tired in the afternoons. But Jake had other ideas and requested to go somewhere today. I like to try and come up with different activities so we’re not just going to the same play areas week after…
So the first week of January is done, and most of the decorations are now packed away. People are now finished being on Christmas mode and some routine is finally returning. I’m bumping into friends who are asking the one main question , ” Did you have a good Christmas?” I obviously smile and reply…
My little boy Jacob is the youngest of five, and recently he turned three! This occasion got me reminiscing about his less than straight forward pregnancy, and how things could have gone very wrong…….. You would think after four children, pregnancy number five would have been relatively straight forward. Well that’s what I was expecting…
Well, we’ve reached week five of the summer holidays, and the summer sewing orders have been fantastic! I had a week off when we went to North Wales, but since returning the orders have been coming in nicely!

In a couple of weeks time, I’m attending Ladies Day at the races and I obviously want to look my best. However, as I’m rapidly approaching forty, the idea of dressing up and trying to compete with those younger girls makes me feel slightly uneasy…….can I still really look as good as I once did…
I’m always so busy with orders these days (not that I’m complaining), and when I do have a quiet spell I always find some fabulous fabric that I just have to sew for one of the kids. But this time, I spotted some really pretty fabric which I decided to buy for me. Here’s what…
When I was younger, I couldn’t understand other people saying they didn’t like heights, or they were scared of spiders. I have two siblings, one being an older brother, and naturally I just followed his lead when playing. Climbing trees, hanging upside down, stunts on bikes……I was a tomboy and fearless. However, somewhere along the…
One of my latest additions to my range, is a beautiful dress called the Bow Back Dress. Usually when I make an item, I have to buy the template first (the sewing pattern), however with this new dress, it’s a design I came up with myself. I love special occasion dresses, but sometimes children don’t…
