Birthday ::
Posted by vicki brown on
Yesterday I turned 31...a fairly unimpressive birthday really in terms of age, but a wonderfully pleasant birthday in terms of celebrating.

I got lots of really lovely gifts, including a gorgeous bunch of...

I've been in need of a new sunhat or about 2 years, ever since I managed to leave mine at Bristol Zoo on Milo's 2nd birthday. So prior to our trip to Latitude at the end of July I decided it was high time I make myself one.

Macrame Bracelets ::

You may remember me talking about By The Yard a while back. Well last night I attended one of their 'Make it Monday' workshops. These are great little informal workshops, held twice a month, each workshop looks at a different crafty project, the session runs for 3 hours and all supplies are included, plus a cup of tea, all for the bargain sum of £10.
