Good morning and happy Monday!

Easter holidays have officially begun…
Which means I’m up, dressed, and heading to work…

While the rest of the house?
Still fast asleep 😴 living their absolute best lives 😂

Honestly… rude.

And can we talk about the clock change?!
Because yesterday I had no idea what time it was at any point 🙈
Was it morning? Afternoon? Bedtime? Who knows. Not me.

Also still full of lurgy…
But I think I’m finally coming out the other side 🤞

Anyway… I’ll be over here running on caffeine and vibes 😅

What’s everyone else up to today?

Happy Friday ☺️✨

It’s the LAST day of term before the Easter holidays and I have never seen Dakota get out of bed so fast in my life 🤣💨
Non-uniform day = instant motivation apparently 😂

She’s also been on a serious lucky streak lately… she won TWO golden tickets in the Wonder Bars at school on World Book Day 🤯🍫
So she bagged a non-uniform day and rocket lollies for her whole class 🚀🍦
Honestly… thinking I should take her with me to do the lottery at this point 😜🤣

As for me… I went swimming again yesterday 🏊‍♀️
I’m no longer the only one in the class (thank goodness 😂) and we had such a laugh!

Progress update:
• Still can’t kick my legs properly 🙈
• Still can’t go in a straight line… left, right, wobble like jelly 🫠
• BUT I’ve levelled up to using TWO small floats on my front 💪

We attempted gliding without a float…
Keyword: attempted 🤣
I managed a solid 5 seconds before sinking like a stone 🙃

I’m feeling a bit better now, just stuck with that annoying lingering cough 😷

It’s the day job for me today, then a cosy, do-nothing evening planned 😌✨

So tell me…
Are you in full weekend mode already? 😍
Is it the last day of term for you too?
Or are you running purely on caffeine today? ☕😂

Let me know below 👇

Good morning… just about 😷🤣

I’ve got a cold and honestly… it’s snot funny 🤧
My voice has gone all croaky and husky — I genuinely sound like I work on one of those dodgy late-night phone lines 🙈😂

Also… why do kids happily share germs but suddenly become very protective when it comes to sharing their food?! Make it make sense 🙄

It’s been one of those mornings — chaotic school run (but we made it on time 🙌), and don’t even get me started on the weather…
Did Mother Nature wake up on the wrong side of the bed?! It’s freezing and windy 🥶💨

Silver lining though — I’m working from home today 🙌
So it’s lemon & ginger tea on repeat ☕, dressing gown firmly on, and getting bits done in between blowing my nose every 5 minutes 🤣

I’ll be dipping in and out of messages today, so if you’re waiting on a reply or thinking about an order — I promise I’ll get back to you 💛

What’s everyone else up to today? Are you powering through or having a cosy one? 👇✨

Good morning… and bah humbug — I mean, happy Monday 😅

We had a busy little weekend over here…
🧺 Lots (and lots) of washing
🦖 A trip to the Natural History Museum
🎮 A visit to the Pokémon pop-up shop
✈️ Park time throwing our aeroplane around
🎨 And we made an Easter bonnet ready for the school parade today
…and we finally got the trampoline up in the garden!

Safe to say, we packed it all in 😅

And now? I’ve got a full-blown cold 🤧 (thanks Dakota 🙄)
I’ve got a follow-up appointment at the doctor’s this morning, then it’s straight off to the day job — definitely running on tea and determination today ☕😂

Let’s brighten up this Monday…
Tell me — what’s one little win, plan, or something you’re looking forward to today? Or if you’ve got kids… have you survived Easter bonnet making too? 👀👇💛

✨ From idea to finished tote… and now they’re HERE! ✨

This little video shows the journey of my brand new crochet & knitting tote bag design from start to finish 🧶

From creating the design…
➡️ Cutting the vinyl
➡️ Prepping the bag (hello lint roller 🙈😂)
➡️ Heat pressing
➡️ And finishing with a handmade care tag — made by me too 💛

These bags were originally made for my testers (thank you again! 🫶), and now they’re officially available to order 🎉

Designed with yarn lovers in mind — perfect for keeping your projects safe, organised, and ready to grab on the go 🧵

💬 Are you a crocheter, knitter… or both?

🛍️ Message me to order yours or for more details!

Good morning 🌞 and happy Friday!

It’s looking like another beautiful day — maybe not quite as warm as the last few, but I’ll take the sunshine while we’ve got it ☀️

I am so glad it’s Friday 🙌🏻
I’m absolutely exhausted and rocking a slight headache… so today is definitely a “get through it and survive” kind of day 😅

Swimming update… I’ve officially progressed from 2 pool noodles to 2 small floats 🎉
We are moving up in the world!
I’m now learning to swim on my front… BUT I just cannot get the leg kicks right.
Honestly, how hard is it to kick from your hips?! 🙈🤣
On dry land — nailed it.
In the pool — absolutely not 😆

AND I still can’t float on my back 🤣
At this point I’m starting to think it’s a personal vendetta between me and water 💁‍♀️

It’s day job time for me, and I’ll be counting down the hours… there’s a strong chance I’ll be having a cheeky nap on my lunch break too 😂

👉 Drop a comment and tell me one thing you’re doing today — big or small! I love hearing your plans 💬✨

✨ Happy Thursday ✨

We’ve officially made it to the “so close to the weekend I can almost taste it” stage 🙌😂

Let’s have a little fun…

If you could only choose ONE: ☕ Unlimited tea/coffee forever
🍫 Chocolate that has zero calories
😴 Extra 2 hours of sleep every night

I mean… this is basically an impossible decision right?! 👀

Tell me yours in the comments ⬇️
(No judgement… unless you don’t pick sleep 😴🤣)

Also… if you’ve got plans this weekend, I want to hear those too!

💛 And as always — if you’ve been thinking about supporting a small business this week… this is your sign. You genuinely make our day with every like, share and order.

Good morning & happy Wednesday 😊

Is anyone else already on repeat this morning? 😅

“Brush your teeth…”
“Get dressed…”
“Shoes on please…”
“Have you brushed your teeth?? AGAIN?!” 🙈

Honestly… I feel like a broken record most mornings 🤦‍♀️

I’ve been trying to find ways to make our routines a little smoother (and quieter 😂) because the school run chaos is real.

Do your mornings run like clockwork… or are they a bit of a whirlwind like mine? 👇

17/03/2026

Happy Tuesday lovely people 💛

Tell me… are you having a productive week or a “where has the day gone?” kind of week? 😅

I feel like I’m somewhere in between 🙈
Getting bits done, but also constantly getting distracted by life (and let’s be honest… probably snacks too 😂)

Also… quick question for all the pet lovers 🐾👇
Are your pets the “sleep anywhere” type…
or do they have their spot and no one else is allowed near it? 👀

Because I’ve been working on some super cosy personalised pet blankets lately and honestly… I think they might end up being more spoiled than us 🥹💕

There’s just something so special about having their name on their own little comfy space 🐶🐱

If you’ve got a pet, drop their name below — I LOVE seeing them all 🥰👇

✨ OR if you’d love one of the personalised pet blankets, comment “PET” or send me a message and I’ll pop you all the details 💌

Good morning and Happy Monday 😊

It’s the start of a brand new week… although someone forgot to tell the weather it’s meant to be spring and not the Arctic 🥶

Did you all have a good weekend?

I hope everyone who celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday had a lovely day 💐

We ended up booking a very last-minute day out to Legoland yesterday and honestly… what more could you ask for?
🎢 Rides
🧱 Lego everywhere
🍟 And of course… Lego fries (which somehow taste better than normal fries 😅)

The weather was nice but very cold, and we left just as the heavens opened and the rain started pouring down. Perfect timing!

We finished the day the best way possible — a Chinese takeaway on the sofa 🍛🥠
Please tell me we’re not the only ones who do this after a busy day? 😅

Today it’s day-job mode for me, and hopefully a bit of crafting later this evening too. I’ve also got to sew more badges onto Dakota’s Beavers uniform which feels like it requires the patience of a saint and the eyesight of an eagle 🪡🤣

So tell me… what’s on the agenda for you today?

☕ Coffee first
💻 Work mode
🧹 House jobs
😴 Still recovering from the weekend
