<small><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today's colour gift guide is Grey</span>.</span></small></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<small><span style="font-size: small;">Grey has got to be one of my favourite colours for a baby and their nursery. It's an easy colour to work with and is perfect for either a baby boy or baby girl which makes it a great safe gift option for a baby shower when you don't know yet the gender of the baby! </span></small></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Introducing my new size storage baskets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These baskets are 9inches in length by 8" wide by 7.5 " tall or in cm 23 x 20 x 19.5cm, so they are an inch longer and two inches wider than my other storage baskets that have a linen base. When I was designing the shape of this basket I had the idea of nappy storage in mind. I wanted to create a basket that you could store a good number of nappies in neatly and also be able to fit on a shelf of a changing table or on a chest of drawers comfortably. A basket that would offer really handy, useful storage in a baby's nursery whilst also being playful, colourful and stylish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These new baskets will hold roughly 24 nappies in total in two rows. Of course, the exact number of nappies will depend on their thickness and size, but as you can see from the photos below, 24 nappies in a size 2 fit nicely in two rows.</div>

Recently I have been having a little play around with the size of my standard baskets and have come up with a new slightly wider basket. WHY? you may be wondering, well partly down to trying to use up the whole width of a piece of fabric. I've been working with wider lengths of material and when I cut out the fabric for my standard size basket I end up with a strip of fabric left, so it makes sense to incorporate this fabric into the design. Second I feel that being just a tad wider makes the basket easier to use, it feels more open at the top making access to its contents easier and the overall shape and size of the basket I find aesthetically pleasing.<br />

<br />
So what is the difference between the 'Standard' size and this new 'Wider' size, well approximately 2 inches! The photo above has a wider bird basket on the bottom and a triangle standard size basket on top and as you can see when folded flat there is a difference in the width between the two.<br />

<br />
Above is the two versions of the new Black and White Triangle basket along with my quilting ruler in inches to show the 2-inch difference. When folded flat the width of the standard basket measures approximately 11.25inches (28.5cm) and the wider baskets measure approximately 13.25inches (33.5cm).<br />

<br />
The baskets are still similar in height with the new wider size being roughly a 1/4 inch taller. The photo below shows the two baskets taken from the side and gives you a good idea of how the wider size really does give you a roomier basket and therefore, gives you more space to store things.<br />

Also new is the style of gallery photo like the one above, which is now included in all the listings of new baskets in my shop. These pictures show the basket with a ruler (in inches) to help give you a good visualisation of the shape and size of the container and will hopefully help when deciding what size to choose. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In these photos I have used my 'Arrow' basket (shown above) and if like me you live in a house with children I am sure you have lego all around the place<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">!</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">M</span>y children use the baskets, that over the years I have made for them to s<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">tore</span> their 'special' lego pieces in<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">.</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Y</span>ou know the ones that are not the standard bricks, for example they have one basket specially for lego figures including all the odd arms and heads that some how we have accumulated over the years! So with the help of my daughter, who unfortunately is very camera shy so doesn't appear in any the photos, we decided to see how many normal lego bricks we could fit in one basket. Oh yes, we counted every single piece of lego that we fitted into the basket<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> twice just to make sure we had counted correctly!!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now we stopped before it was completely full to the brim as we thought there was already enough bricks in there to count! We then <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">emptied</span> it out onto an empty surface and were quite amazed at the amount we had fitted in!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span>610 pieces in total!! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And I must stress that they were of varying sizes but we did try and put as many of the normal size lego bricks in as we could find.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now the measurements are always included in the description of every basket in my shop and it looks something like this;</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">APPROX DIMENSIONS:</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">H 8 X W 9 X D 6 INCHES (20 X 22 X15CM)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

But occasionally I forget to add a picture like this and it is on my to do list to put this right!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>

The height of the basket, the width and the depth. But I still get many messages questioning the sizes, especially emails with comments like 'I'm struggling to visualize the size of your baskets', which is no problem, I see them everyday but customers don't, so I thought I </span>would try to show you in better detail with lots of photos the size.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now..... these measurements relate to my Standard Small Baskets....<span style="font-size: small;"> the reason I emphasize this is coming very soon are some wider baskets of a similar height, but more about them later in another post! So in this post we are talking about my popular, normal, standard small storage basket, like the ones in the photo above and of course the ones in the photos below! RIGHT lets go...................</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

For those that work in metric I apologise. When it comes to fabric I tend to work in inches, mainly because when I first became interested in sewing most of the fabric I bought was from the US and therefore <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">measurements</span> were in inches, cuts of fabric ranged from a fat <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">quarter</span> to a yard also I blame my quilting ruler, which is shown in the photos as it only measures in inches!</span></span></span></span></span><br />

Being made of fabric the baskets can be slightly manipulated. I like to place the baskets over the narrow end of my ironing board and iron on top of the sewn seam sides as this gives the baskets more of a 'boxy' shape.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Earlier this year I added a <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">some</span> new baby bib and burp cloth sets to my range. Made with 100% cotton fabric on the front and backed with my favourite bamboo/cotton silky soft towelling on the back, these sets are not only practical, but extremely soft and cosy for the baby to wear. Two snap fasteners make the bibs adjustable and suitable from baby to toddler, and the burp cloths are designed to be flung over the shoulder to protect your clothing whilst winding your baby, and they also come in very handy as general baby cloths. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Last year the thing that I got asked the most was 'Could I please make my storage baskets in a larger size!'. So I took all the sizes that people had suggested and came up with a basket that is based on the average size that people were wanting. And my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/acraftyhen?section_id=12265831&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1" target="_blank">'larger' basket</a> was born. I wanted the basket to have enough structure that it can stand up on its own even when empty, so no slouching, but still be flexible that it can be folded away when not in use. I have used heavier weight cotton, which helps with the structure of the baskets, apart from the Black Triangles which is made in a quilting cotton so has an extra stabiliser sewn in, to give it the structure it needs. They have a nice boxy feel to them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">They all have a natural linen/cotton base and come fully lined in a white cotton canvas. Now for the technical details! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">They are<i>, </i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>measurements are approximate but as accurate as I can give</i></span>, 29cm/11.4 inches tall, and are 40cm/15.75 inches wide across the top when folded flat, which makes them roughly 30cm/12 inches wide when open and boxed out, which gives the basket a rough depth at the base of 24cm/9.4 inches. I have found it quite difficult to show the size of these baskets. I have included photos that show the baskets alongside a child's rabbit night light which is 15cm/6 inches tall to help give an idea of scale, and I also got my little helpers to hold them to show the two size of baskets alongside one another. The larger is being held by my 7 year old whilst my 5 year old daughter is holding the smaller basket. It's high on my to do list to get some photos taken of these baskets being used to show how much you can fit into them! If you look at the photo above taken in my boys bedroom, that shows three baskets on a top shelf with a shelf underneath full of their toys, you may spot a lego figure or two, which should give you an idea of how much lego can be stored away in one of these baskets! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am pleased to say that this larger basket has proved popular, so much so that unfortunately, unless I can source more of the grey arrow fabric, I only have a couple left in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/226418835/fabric-storage-basket-modern-grey-arrows?ref=shop_home_active_11" target="_blank">stock</a>. I was also pleased to see that a French Scandinavian Design blog called Scandinave featured my baskets in a list of <a href="http://scandinave.fr/etsy-france-selection-deco-scandinave/" target="_blank">10 Scandinavian Decoration finds on Etsy</a>. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So if you are looking for handy storage that looks good that is modern and stylish you can find these baskets as well as others <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/acraftyhen?section_id=12265831&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></span> </div>

You will also have seen if you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/acraftyhen_shop" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/acraftyhen" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, that I have been busy adding lots of new items over the last few months which I am excited to share with you.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the things we realised looking back over the last year, was that as a family unit we tend to be at our happiest and most content when we are outside. It doesn't matter whether its at the beach, the woods, on the allotment or on the moor, it just seems to be that open space surrounded by nature suits us all. So with this in mind and the fact that the children are now at ages when they can keep walking for quite a while before the youngest says 'pick me up' we have been making a conscious effort to get outside as much as possible lately. Wrapped up warm, with a flask of hot chocolate for them and coffee for us and of course a treat of something sweet like cake we have already done quite a bit of walking this year. We are lucky enough to live on the edge of Dartmoor, which is a magical moorland that covers an incredible 954 square kilometers, so gives us plenty of space to explore! And with the first signs of Spring appearing and the prospect of warmer days to come I am really looking forward to our explorations as a family this year. </span></span>Jenny Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04104529066013612583noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479090825384778072.post-22319854717431816032015-01-28T10:35:00.000+00:002015-01-28T13:47:22.044+00:00How my mind wanders..............<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oh how my mind wanders at the moment. I am having terrible trouble
focusing on the tasks at hand. My mind wanders off and I lose my train of thought which often ends up with me completely forgetting what it was that I was doing in the first place! With the help from visually inspiring sites like Pinterest {<i>which I'm sure should come with a health warning along the lines of - 'not for the easily distracted' </i>} I have allowed my mind to indulge in thoughts of the warmer weather to come and to start planning trips and adventures, on seeing images of beautiful white tulips I have found myself drifting out of shops with a bunch in hand having completely forgotten the important necessities like milk and bread! I find myself craving for a home with white walls and lack of objects which is at least helping to spur me on to de clutter, a job that I think could take forever and all of this done with a coffee in hand. I can't imagine not drinking coffee, I enjoy the whole ritual of putting the coffee pot on. I could map my days out in coffee, and I am intrigued by images of Vietnamese coffee being made and I'm very tempted to try one of these <a href="http://www.caphevn.co.uk/buy-vietnamese-coffee-online.html" target="_blank">coffee filters</a>. Maybe a change in coffee will finally help me to focus! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A bit like a wind up toy, I feel exhausted after a Christmas spent celebrating whilst also nursing 3 poorly children, who of course couldn't be ill all at the same time, no they feel ill one after the other until every day of the holidays was spent looking after a sick child! So I am finding January quite difficult. I can't seem to get myself going. If only someone or something could come along and wind me up! The dull days, the cold, the rain, lack of sunlight, non of it helps, it really is a case of digging deep and trudging through these first few months of the year, hanging on to the thought that Spring is just around the corner! I am not one for making New Year resolutions. I have tried in the past and in general fail. I do like however to spend the start of a new year thinking about the past 12 months. What can we learn from it, what did we do wrong, what should we change, what could have been </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">better. But there's the thing, its often easier to think and to stress over the 'things' that went wrong, the things we shouldn't have said, the things that we didn't do, than to think about what we got right. As a parent especially I think we often worry and beat ourselves up mentally about how we are bringing up our children. We worry if we are doing it correct, are we saying the right words at the right times, are we there for our children when they really need us, do we spend enough time living in the moment, are we listening to them and each other, which is sometimes so difficult in our busy lives. I think its good to try and learn and possibly change but we do need to remember what we did right. Remember the moments of harmony, the moments when life seems perfect, the times when we all laughed together, the times when you think this is it, we are happy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I found myself on New Years day sat on the sofa with my laptop, the kids happily watching a movie, the fire was lit, we were warm, we were full of food, a moment of calmness. I found myself going back over my <a href="http://instagram.com/acraftyhen/" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>, laughing at some of the photos, smiling at others. It was good, as lets face it most of us that have Instagram accounts use them mainly to show moments of joy, of happiness, snap shots of our 'perfect' lives! So I set about making a photo book using only photos from my Instagram account to remember our best bits of 2014. And there a couple of weeks later it was. My first ever photo book. And it couldn't be any more perfect. So easy to make, I used <a href="http://www.blurb.co.uk/" target="_blank">Blurb Books</a> and found it very straight forward to use. It's the first of many to come. It's such a lovely reminder of our year. A reminder of the good times, glimpses of the past, a great way of capturing time and giving us memories and reminding ourselves that sometimes <i>we do get it just right</i>!</span></span>Jenny Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04104529066013612583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479090825384778072.post-35312832655081563462014-11-29T10:23:00.000+00:002014-11-29T10:30:01.322+00:00New Baby Bandana Dribble Bibs<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Say hello to my new collection of bandana style bibs. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As soon as I saw this gorgeous flannel I knew that it would make for the softest of bibs. And this style of bib is not only perfect for a dribbling baby they are also very suited to a teething toddler! Made with a layer of 100% cotton flannel, three of which also have the wonderful look of herringbone wool weave, and backed with a layer of organic cotton fleece these bibs are soft to the touch making them extremely comfortable to wear. And made with only cotton fabrics no polyester in sight you can be confident that you are putting only the kindest natural fabrics next to your babies delicate skin. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In lovely Autumnal colours they can be found here in my <a href="https://www.blogger.com/">shop</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was working away the other day cutting fabric for orders when it suddenly dawned on me that the bib and burp cloth set in 'clouds in gold' that I was busy cutting out was to be the last. I had a moment of panic and quickly raided my fabric stash hoping desperately to find some more of the fabric unfortunately to no avail. I then had a quick scour of the internet trying to find some for sale, again no, which didn't surprise me, this collection is now out of print. So that is it, no more of this gorgeous organic fabric. I am annoyed at myself for my lack of planning and that I didn't buy a lot more of it. But it can be very difficult at times to judge the fabrics that will be popular and sell well. I am also annoyed as I was hoping to make myself a cushion out of it and had thought I had put some away in my private stash but some where along the lines I must have used that as well. So I feel quite sad to say that I have just one <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/193732473/nursery-storage-basket-clouds-in-gold?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">'Storage Basket'</a> left made from this fabric and I have managed to sneak in one lonely <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/171644272/baby-bib-organic-clouds-in-gold?ref=shop_home_active_9" target="_blank">'Baby Bib'</a> out of it and that's it, no more passing clouds in gold! Thankfully a new collection is coming out this Spring which includes some more clouds in different colours so all is not lost and I still have gift sets and storage baskets available in Blue Passing Clouds in my shop. As for me I have learnt an important lesson here always buy more fabric! </span></span><br />

<small><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What a day!It has not stopped raining all day, we got drenched on the morning school run and even more drenched on the afternoon school run! The warm, dry start to the Autumn has gone and we have lit our first log fire. I do love the changing seasons, and I am quite happy to start wearing a chunky knit cardigan and sit in front of a roaring fire eating pumpkin soup! The change in weather is also a good excuse to do a bit of shopping and these are the things I have spotted this week for my daughter. My love of mustard is still going strong. It is such an Autumnal colour. </span></span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am finding myself doing more and more of my shopping at Zara, especially bits for the kids and I am so in love with this mustard button coat and really wish they would do it in adult sizes! I would also be happy to wear the camper boots aren't they superb! Another clothing range that is becoming a staple in my daughters wardrobe is Little Bird by Jools Oliver for Mothercare. Wonderfully designed, amazing quality and at a good price you can not go wrong and I love the fact that a lot of the collection is suitable for either a boy or girl which makes handing clothes down from one sibling to another so much easier! Now lets talk hats! I found this crochet hat in a gorgeous shop on Folksy called <a href="http://folksy.com/items/6521902-Girls-Crochet-Hat-Mustard-Yellow-Winter-Hat-Girls-Pom-Pom-Hat-1-6-yrs" target="_blank">Wild Honey Pie Boutique</a> and I am pleased to say they do adult hats as well which makes me very happy. And the doll, a find on etsy and if you have never visited <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/blita" target="_blank">Blita</a> I urge you to her work is stunning I am rather in love with her Raccoon, one I think to add to the Christmas wish list!</span></span></small></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I just can not stop making these storage baskets. I enjoy the whole process from selecting the fabric to sewing them to seeing the finished baskets all lined up on a shelf! So its no wonder that I have made a few more! I have added another five baskets in new fabrics to my Etsy shop. The very popular <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/183563679/fabric-storage-basket-modern-black-and?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">Black Triangle</a> basket is now also available in grey, also in grey is a lovely basket featuring small crosses. Then there is a mint with small white triangles and the odd glittery gold triangle, and 'Crystal Arrowhead' which is what the fabric is called and I rather like the name! There will be only a few of these two baskets available as the fabric comes from a limited addition collection and I have noticed that it has already sold out in many stores. And finally I have got round to listing a deer basket which coordinates with a bib and burp cloth set that is also in my shop. This organic fabric featuring deer in a mix of gorgeous muted colours is one of my all time favourite fabrics and I am hoping to have blankets available in this print very soon. And for those that ask me on a daily basis for larger baskets well, I am working on those at the moment so hope to get a few in my shop in the next couple of weeks! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Right you can see all of the baskets pictured above and more <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/acraftyhen?section_id=12265831&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3" target="_blank">here</a>!</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This
time last week we were in a field in Flintshire surrounded by camp
fires, listening to an array of wonderful music, chatting to people as
though we had known them for ages and watching the children run free
laughing with their new found friends. We were at The Good Life Festival

Charlie and Caroline Gladstone of <a href="http://www.pedlars.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pedlars</a>. It was about the Great Outdoors, culture
and food and so much more. They managed to create an event which felt very much
like a gathering of like minded people, with a party atmosphere which
was both relaxing as it was exciting. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For us it began on the Friday night
at the camp site. We spent the evening sat round a huge camp fire
eating gorgeous barbecued food and making friends. Of course the
highlight was when Cerys Matthews came guitar in hand and started
singing. Listening to her mesmerising voice whilst watching the dancing
flames of the fire was an evening we won't forget in a long time.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We had an early start Saturday morning, as not only was it the festival but it was also our Second child's birthday so excitement levels were high! After the unwrapping of presents we wandered over to the main field were we spent the day popping in and out of the various tents, the <a href="http://www.bestmadeco.com/" target="_blank">Best Made Co</a> with their axes who had flown in from New York City specially was a favourite along with <a href="http://www.hatchetandbear.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hatchet and Bear</a> who ran spoon carving workshops. We sat round camp fires melting marshmallows to make into the yummy sticky smores, started fires using flint and steel in the woods, and watched rabbits being skinned. We tried our hand at archery and all had a go at throwing axes, which was a great experience! We ate wood fired pizzas and listened to local bands in the day whilst chilling out. The children were safe to wander and spent a fair amount of their time at the vintage fairground where they enjoyed the helter skelter, the swing boats and the flying chairs which the birthday boy declared the best thing ever! My OH tried his hand at spoon carving and came away with a very usable spoon and lots of knowledge and it was the touches like those that made the festival so special. Ej from Hatchet and Bear spent two hours teaching each group of 10 happily sharing her fascinating knowledge, in fact everybody we spoke to whether involved with the festival or like us just there to enjoy it were friendly and chatty. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Another highlight was Murray Lachlan Young and the section he did for the children was fantastic, his poetry captured the imagination of the boys who giggled and whooped as he told his tales. And then as the day turned to night CC Smugglers took to the stage and completely blew the audience away with their energy and music, followed nicely by Paprika. We danced, talked and flew round on the swinging chairs in the dark. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We quite honestly didn't want the day to end. For us the weekend was magical, our birthday boy decided it was the best birthday he had ever had and we are over joyed to hear that they are planning to do it all again next year. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We can not wait and however much I urge you to go and get back to nature and experience it all for yourself what ever you do 'don't tell your friends' as I also feel this is a festival I would like to keep secret! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are back from our very windy camping holiday and I have just about got on top of the laundry and are packing away the last of our camping gear. Apologies to all of you that were hoping this was a '<i>Shops Back Open</i>' post. That will, I promise be happening soon.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It really does feel like the countdown to returning to school has begun. The last few days have been filled with hair appointments, shoe shopping and the buying of school uniform. My mind has been a whirl of navy and grey clothes interspersed with images of kids winter coats, like the ones above! I don't know if it is just my children but none of them are keen coat wearers! But seeing as we walk to school and live in one of the wettest places in the UK a coat is a very necessary part of their uniform so I am determined to find the perfect one. It needs to keep them waterproof, warm but also, and probably the most important thing, allow movement so they can play freely. So yes as you can see this dilemma is taking up very valuable time and energy, time and energy that I really want to be channelling into my work, so I really need to find this perfect coat soon!! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been flicking through Boden's Autumn range for kids and have fallen head over heels in love with their new signature bird print. It has left me wondering 'would it be cruel to dress my daughter head to toe in birds'! I am guessing it probably would be a little too much to dress her in matching bird top and leggings and then finish off the outfit with the bird wellies, but I am very tempted! And lets not forget Boden's bright green <a href="http://www.acraftyhen.co.uk/2014/05/dreaming-of-raincoats.html" target="_blank">bird raincoat</a> that I spotted when they had their preview. So you never know, you might just see a little girl </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">flapping around disguised as a bird this Autumn! </span></span>Jenny Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04104529066013612583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479090825384778072.post-88865936511379287782014-07-30T21:04:00.001+01:002014-07-30T21:18:07.790+01:00Window Shopping for Fabric<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 800px;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I buy fabric for lots of different reasons. Often for work, sometimes for a project for myself and family, and just recently I have been buying for dressmaking, something that I am very keen to get started on though haven't quite found the time yet! And sometimes I buy fabric because I just can't resist it! Sometimes I have no idea what I am going to do with the fabric but have an overwhelming sense of needing to have the desired fabric in my stash! And that is probably the reason why my fabric stash never seems to go down! As well as buying too much fabric I also like to have a good browse on line at all the latest fabrics and there are many good fabric collections around at the moment. So I thought I would show you a few of my favourites. And each one nicely fits into one of my categories of reasons to buy fabric! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">September Blue I can imagine making my daughter something out of it,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bye bye bird is a lightweight fabric making it perfect for dressmaking,</span></span><br />
