Clothkits Obsession


Have been minorly (or majorly - depending on how you view it..) obsessed with Clothkits since they re-launched - at the start of this year - I think. Made these dungarees for Madani on Friday night just before we drove up to London. He loves them, and so do I. Am currently stitiching skirts for Astou and I, and rag dolls with clothes for all of us.

Jellyfish at the Horniman


Spent most of Saturday and Sunday at the Horniman Museum. The Aquarium had the kids mesmorised, really easy to get around and they could have a good look at everything - even better - it was all free.

Smashing Pumkins

You get a good class of pumpkin in Forest Hill. Took the kids 'trick or treating' - my idea of hell, and have made a mental note to myself to NEVER do it again... Had a comedy moment when a very kind lady handed out her sweets to the kids, she waved a satsuma at me stating 'don't worry - it's organic' - even better was the reaction of the child who got it, he howled for 5 mins as all the others had sweets, the last thing he wanted was an organic satsuma. Doesn't bode well for the one Father Christmas will shove down the bottom of his stocking....
