Following on from my daughter’s obsession with Postman Pat and post in general, I have made these cute felt letters with a box for her to post them into. With 6 letters in different colours I’m hoping these should help with her colour recognition; currently everything to her is blue! They’re also a great way… Continue reading How to make a Toddler Post-Box
This time last week we were celebrating our daughter’s 2nd Birthday! We were lucky enough to be able to have cake and sandwiches with friends in our sunny garden. Postman Pat seems to be the man of the moment for my daughter and although he is on Cbeebies almost everyday there seems to be very… Continue reading How to make a Postman Pat Birthday Cake
Hello! Thanks the summer holidays I am now 24/7 mummy so fitting in crafting time is hard & I haven’t had much blogging time over the last few weeks!

This weekend we’ll be celebrating with barbecues, a village street party, British weather, copious amounts of cake (& tea) and dressing up in felt crowns… Continue reading How to make a Felt Crown
I came up with this ‘sleeping buddy’ cushion idea when my niece was struggling to get to bed in the evenings. I thought that a cushion with a cute personalised pocket for her favourite toy & book would be a welcome incentive to her parents. As far as I’ve been told, it worked; tucking her… Continue reading How to make a Sleeping Buddy Cushion

The crazy weather of late (sun, heat, wind, rain – back to heat again) has made me a little unsure about what I should be leaving the house with; the contents of my mum bag ranging from rain covers and wooly hats to sun cream and parasols. However, I’ve found that these welly-boot warmers are… Continue reading How to knit Boot Warmers
My daughter just loves loves loves a bag. The cutest thing is the way she holds them; resting her bag on her forearm like a little old lady whilst foraging around the house and garden looking for interesting things to stash. The contents are usually a varying selection of dolls, snacks and Power Rangers borrowed… Continue reading How to make a Quilted Pocket Bag
