I’m SOOOOOOOOO in love with these illustrations from Brazilian, Thalita Dol. All her lovely creations bring big smiles to my face and melt my heart. This crafty and talented mom has now been added to my favourites list and I’m sure she’ll find her way into yours too once you have a look at more of her work at her Etsy shop.

Keep them coming Thalita…Grande Trabalho! xxx
Here are some fun new treats from Jenn Ski. There are a set of four soft shape books. Fanatstic for those ages 1 to 4. You can find them here from Innovative Kids (located in the USA). They ship internationally, but as always, you will additionally have to pay customs tax to receive your order. You can also find Jenn Ski items at her Etsy shop. Happy Shopping and Learning!

In all my excitement for the new Tim Burton’s rendition of Alice In Wonderland, I’ve put together a collection of Alice-esque items from the wonderful and creative crafters of Folksy. I hope you enjoy!

I am loving this striped baby boy’s room which I spotted on Ohdeedoh for two reasons. The first that its a boy’s room with little use of blue. There is some blue, but its not splashed up on every wall. The second is because it is a well use of paint and colour. Currently the flat I live in will not allow us to paint so I am stuck with boring white walls, as is my little boy. It’s a TRAGEDY! Every child should have colour in their room! I’ve done my best to brighten it up using accesories, paintings and a wall decal. I’ll try and provide images soon, but for now I’ll just stare at Jonty’s beautiful room photos at his home in Australia and hope to have a painted room for my boy one day!

In order to create this fine friends all you’ll need are some scissors, a ruler and glue. You will receive the templates to make all 3 rabbits or chicks for A4 card, as well as full instructions.


The propaganda phrase that was going to be adopted by the British at the start of the Second World War is now appearing everywhere! I particularly love it on these bags available at Not On The High Street.

As promised, above are the pictures of my son’s Puppy Dog Picnic First Birthday Party and below are where I had purchased the items to pull the event together. We had our party at Cheeky Monkey’s in Malvern, UK as our home is too small for so many attendees. A bonus of holding it at Cheeky Monkey’s, aside from the NO after party cleanup, is they have a fabulous soft play area for children of all ages. We had children from 5 months to 5 years old attending and had to keep all entertained. It was successful and a great time was had by all. I would highly recommend Cheeky Monkey’s to anyone.

I saw these wooden eating utensils and plate from CO・ZEN ができたわけ at BKids the other day and I just had to share them with everyone! BKids was trying to follow up on it, but I have several friends who speak or are Japenese so I asked for their aid with the website and here is what I discovered…
They are currently about £130 a set. They are a bit pricey because everything is hand-made. Currently there is no shipping to the UK, but perhaps this will change shortly. Here’s to hoping x
