My Weight Loss Begins Now!

Posted on January 14, 2020January 14, 2020 by Lucy

* 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…

Some Places Are So Much Nicer Without Other People’s Children!

Posted on January 8, 2020 by Lucy

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…

Am I A Bad Mum For Not Liking Christmas Day?

Posted on January 4, 2020 by Lucy

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…

Now this is a story all about how, my giant baby got flip-turned upside down!

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Lucy

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…

Summer Sewing!

Posted on August 19, 2019 by Lucy

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! There’s been some fabulous fabrics chosen, but I thought I’d show you two of my recent favourite…

This Is One Of Your 18!

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Lucy

The summer holidays can seem like such a long time when you’re a parent.  The days of the week can all blend together and you’re constantly under pressure to come up with new ideas to keep the little ones happy.  You might find yourself wishing the weeks away and willing the new school term to…

Is It Ok To Cheat?

Posted on August 3, 2019 by Lucy

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…

My Turn This Time – A Selfish Sew!

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Lucy

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…

What’s Changed…….Why Am I So Afraid?

Posted on July 27, 2019July 27, 2019 by Lucy

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…

My Own Design- The Bow Back Dress

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Lucy

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…
