Happy Mail

A little bit of vintage prettiness made it's way to my front door yesterday morning, I do love getting parcels addressed to me.  Inside was a lovely colour selection of fat quarters, now I just need to work out a little project to use some of them now...... Thanks so much again Kel for organising such a great swap.

Hope your Tuesday is a terrific one♥

Vintage Sheet Swap

I was on a mission yesterday to find myself a vintage sheet, I was lucky to find a pretty pink rose one to cut up and send to Kel for her vintage sheet swap.  So my little pile is now cut up and waiting for me to put in the post.  I can't wait to see what loveliness will make its way into my letterbox.  There is still time to sign up  if you would like some vintage sheet goodness.

Have a wonderful weekend I hope that you get some Summer sunshine your way♥

Catching Up

Hi there sorry I've been away this week. Life has been busy with both of my girls at home for the holidays we've been catching up with friends and doing a bit of relaxing. So this post is going to be full of photos to catch you up on what's been happening, and there is a bit to show you.


Last week was the last week of school and Miss 6 had to dress up as her created super hero. Her created super hero was very much like Supergirl so I did cheat and bought her outfit. I know not good for a, kind of sewing Mum but sometimes sewing scares me so I did end up chickening out:( My little Miss 6 was the most creative decorating her mask with red glitter glue. I promise to try next time!


I joined Jodie's Spring Washer Swap last month and last week I got this happy package in the mail from my swap partner Christine, thank you. The soap is already being used and my dishcloth has been christened too.

And this is the washer I made for my swap partner Kylie using this pattern. I forgot to post a picture of my goodies I posted but I know that she received them and loves them:)


And I finished the library bag for my friend's little girl so all I need is to buy a book, and make a card and then it's ready to post for her birthday next week. I did a little bit of embroidery which is a little hard to see but it's the first letter of her name.


Some of our first strawberries for the Spring season. There are lots of strawberries on the plants just waiting for some sun to turn them red, the girls will be in strawberry heaven and me too;)


With strawberries being so cheap at the moment and with some inspiration from A Spoonful of Sugar Girls, I decided to make some jam. It's got the tick of approval from the family and we're already through half the jar! I used this simple recipe to make my jam.

I hope that you're all enjoying your weekend. Have you had fun doing something you love?
