Lovely Links – All About Play Dough

October 15, 2011

I’ve never met a child (and I’ve met quite a few) that loves play dough as much as my big boy. His little eyes twinkle at the mere thought of making a fresh batch of play dough and he can’t go past the play dough section at the shops without taking a quick inventory to [...]

Lovely Links – Sharing the Love

October 8, 2011

One of the things I love most about blogging is the spirit of sharing.

Recently some great bloggers have mentioned me and/or linked to my [...]

Lovely Links – Things I Want to Buy

October 1, 2011

I have this list, in the back of my head, of things I want to buy. Not important things, not things I really need, just things I’d like to buy, for me. Mostly these are ‘when we are rich’ things. Some of them you can’t even buy here, or at least I don’t know where [...]

September 10, 2011

It’s officially spring here, though the cold wet and windy weather today might have you believing otherwise. Despite the lack of sunshine I am embarking on my annual garden dreaming event. It’s where I look at seed catalogues and browse web sites and dream up gardens that I can’t possibly prepare, let alone plant or [...]

September 3, 2011

Ok, I admit it, I spend a lot of time on pinterest. I know, I have a a problem… but there is just so much cool stuff out there, on the interwebs, and pinterest happily collects it all and spits it out, right there, on my screen, accompanied by pretty little pictures. Ah bliss…. Here [...]
