So its March tomorrow - yay! Its one of my favourite months, It always feels like the beginning of spring to me once we are leaving the cold and grey of January and February behind.

These little pictures are all from February - a month that seemed to just whoosh by! I have been buying lots of bunches of daffodils lately - trying to brighten the place up and bring a little cheeriness! I've also been trying to find a little more time for crafting - both with the kids and for myself. I so miss being creative when I don't make the time for it!

Garden moodboard - Febuary










Joining in with Karin and Asa and their monthly garden moodboards - finding bits from the garden or nature which symbolise the month we're in. Its been so nice to see some colour and life appearing in the garden this month, it means spring is so very close now and I'm so ready for it!

My little girl... Five years old today. Where did that go?!

Yesterday she had a little bowling party with a few close friends and today was a quiet one, catching up with family and making this little doll kit. We ended up cheating a bit by using the sewing machine and its not perfect, but she loves it!

Monthly mosaic - January

1 Feb 2013



Happy February! We have finally had a little sunshine here the last few days and it actually feels like spring is on its way. I love how a little sunshine after these long grey days can brighten everyone's mood.

These pics are all from January from my Instagram.  Looking back at these there have been quite a few beach walks, despite all the rain and snow we've had. There are only so many home days I can do before we need to get out and about and the beach is usually our first choice of places to go! A little sea air always clears my head!

We have coughs and colds again here and are all feeling pretty tired and run down. I'm quite glad we are in February now, its a step closer to some warmer weather and hopefully a few less bugs too!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. x
