Well, I cannot believe we’re in double twenty figures (does that even make sense?!) for #Littlemakes! It just shows how this year is whizzing on by! I think we may have to start thinking about #christmaslittlemakes soon but I’m in denial as I feel we haven’t properly enjoyed Autumn yet! This week, Jemma had been…
We recently bought our very first house and even before we moved in I was beyond excited about doing it up and putting our own stamp on the interior design. I had been pinning house ideas on Pinterest for years but now we are in I have hit a snag. I don’t know what to…
We are almost into October people so whereas I have been all consumed by my house move and working on little DIY house projects, I am relying on you crafty folks to be well prepared and have a whole load of Halloween craft posts to share with us. While you are loading those up ready…
Children change their minds ALL THE TIME! (except that is when it would actually be really handy of them to have a change of heart of course.) When planning a theme for Aiden’s new bedroom then I decided to go with a Lego theme because it is the one thing he actually has never grown…
Hello from a dark and warm and then rainy and then sunny kind of day today. The weather is all sort of extremes at the moment! The wind whipped around the house today! The last couple of days have been about getting into a rhythm of forest school and living back in Oban. It is so…

In less than half a week we move up to Oban. Keith is still working away up in Aberdeen as he has been for a month. That is a month of me preparing to move house on my own with a three year old and a one year old. So this is going to be…
In less than a week we are moving to our first home. This can mean only one thing. Free reign to decorate / knock down as many walls as we like. To say I am excited is an understatement. I have watched far too many DIY shows over the years and already consider myself an…
Hope the Summer is treating you all well. Did you get any sun and did you have to go abroad to get it? Jemma over at Thimble and Twig has been crafting like mad and each person in her family has chosen a craft to make and we’ll try to cover everyone’s before we head…
I first decoupaged roughly two and a half years ago. Aiden was about six months old and I was bored senseless at home when he napped and in the evenings whenever Keith was working away. I use to do embroidery to keep my hands busy but since having kids and not returning to work (yet)…
