Blogging break

It’s the school summer holidays in the UK and I am taking a blogging break for approximately 3 weeks. I may well be back in that time with the odd post now and then but I won’t be blogging regularly. If you want to see what I will be up to in that time then you can check out my personal blog here or to keep up with good handmade stuff then check out Aceo Showcase. And of course there are always the blog lists, sponsors and friends to the right hand side to go and visit!

Cute overload on a Thursday – teddies

I know that technically Billy isn’t a teddy bear but who could resist that cute bunny face? Get him from The Vintage Magpie.

Mmmmm – a very special tweedy bear to cuddle. What could be better than that? Get these cute bears from Tweed Delights.

Cute Cowboys

It’s America Day at Anya’s school today (they do culture days every now and then) and the children have to go dressed up as cowboys or Native Americans or in red, white and blue. I choose cowboys for the feature.

Wednesday Feature – Mamaroots

I came across this shop, Mamaroots quite by accident and I love all of the things I have seen. Here are what I think are the best items!

These 3 cute little mice come to you in a muslin bag with a notebook for you to jot down your own stories or rhymes featuring them.

Fabulous Outdoor games

It was my elder daughters Sports Day today (hence the late posts!) but as she is only 5 they play games more than actual sports! Here are some great games/toys I have found that would work well at a Sports Day.
