This Is Halloween
Well, our annual shindig has been and gone and it’s time to share the photos. We went a little different with our invites this year, making them and mailing them out rather than leaving them on doorsteps. We made them as ransom notes, meticulously cutting out all the letters from the local papers.. but only […]

Saturday was a beautiful day – cool and sunny. And more importantly, I wasn’t working. So we headed to the Faire! Sherwood Forest Renaissance Faire to be exact. While the ren faire is a day out we both enjoy we haven’t made it to one in a couple years, in fact the last faire we went to […]

Esme also wants to know when she can open this present.

Normally at this time of year we’re rushing to get Halloween built, all of our plans coming together and hopefully something good coming out at the end of it.. not so much this year. As I’ve mentioned, we started redecorating our front room, this wasn’t a small task and as well as it taking up […]

We came back from England on Friday, arrived home about 6pm (more on the trip when I’ve sorted through the thousand photographs!) and slept lots. We planned a lazy day for Saturday but after making breakfast and realising we were out of milk we decided a trip to grab a few essentials was needed. We’ve […]

A look at my latest craft project, I got the pattern from here, and everything else from Joanns Fabrics (except the stuffing which was stupidly cheap at Walmart). Aren’t they adorably cute! One is a little “special” looking, he was my practice so I could get the second one looking good since it’s a present […]

It was a hectic holiday season. Between the two jobs (both of which got busier for the holidays) and making presents and being social and doing all the things we usually do I don’t think I stopped during the month of December at all. It makes me glad they’re over and I’ve had a semi […]
