FAMILY TIME


This week we were back at Bristol Childrens Hospital for Mabel's cardiac cath. procedure. It all thankfully went well, and Mabel ended up having her stent expanded by 2mm. We were kept in overnight for observation and discharged in the morning. I always find these stays a draining experience, not only for your own child, but for the children and parents on the ward who are much less fortunate than we are.



Back in time for Bella's 12th birthday. It's been a milestone of a year, with starting secondary school. So proud of her achievements 
We thought we deserved a nice bottle of champagne to celebrate, not
 only Bella's birthday, but Mabel's health.

Would love to know what she's wishing for in this photo.




Love these Anorak fabrics I used this week to make some dresses.



Preparing for Christmas Fairs, I've been using up some of my pieces of fabrics, more drawstring bags 


and some towelling backed bibs


Love the traditional Autumn colours, but also the colours around the river as the sun tries to get through the clouds. What a perfect view to have while having a quick drink before heading home.



I have the only two children I know who don't like Halloween, they've never done trick or treat or wanted to get dressed up. We did get over to Hannahs Seale Hayne for their Pumpkin Trail though.



Spent a day at Bristol Science Museum great interactive museum, with lots to do, we all really enjoyed the day.




And now half terms over it's back to school. Can't believe that the next time they break up is for Christmas! Not forgetting we have Mabel's birthday before that.

HELLO 2014

After a very relaxing Christmas we took advantage of the in-laws staying and Harry and I went off to London for a few days.  How nice it was to wander the streets, child free stopping for drinks and food and a little bit of shopping when ever the mood took us.  Will have to do it again very soon!




First stop was salt beef sandwiches and coffee at Selfridges


 The lovely Liberty's in all it's glory



wandering along Oxford Street 


Carnaby Street


China Town


Lovely houses in Fournier Street E1 


My Sister Mabel has had a sale on during January, which has left me with very little stock (which is the idea) I'm now frantically putting together a lovely range of new dresses and tops both for ladies and "little ladies" and even a new bag or two, In the meantime I've been using up some of my scraps of vintage fabric to make these lovely little hairbands

Some of the most favourite books in our house are that of Roald Dahl, so when I spotted this fabric I had to buy half a metre of each and make up these drawstring bags.


Taking a break from all the rain, Sunday the sun shone and the girls and I went for a long walk along the beach and out onto the spit (which appears when the tides out)
