A place to record my crafting adventures

We have just come back from an idyllic holiday up on the NSW north coast. It was so great to hang with the family and we quickly settled into the routine of beach and pool swimming. For us, a holiday at the end of January is the perfect way to regroup, recover from Christmas and [...]

There wasn’t a huge [...]

We have had another day of wandering, caught the train down to the World Trade Centre sight and walked up to Soho for lunch. Sarah said [...]
