Your photos make all the hours I sit at my sewing machine totally worth it. So getting this pic from a mummy I met at the @plymouthpartyprincessesnew means the world to me! How gorgeous does this little one look in her vintage rose leggings 😍😍😍 . I’m full of cold at the moment so seeing your pics really does lift my mood, which my hubby is pretty pleased about as I can get pretty grumpy when I’m ill 🤧🤦‍♀️

I had a fabulous day at The Party in the Garden today with the Plymouth Party Princesses 👸 . I met lots of amazing people, with some amazing suggestions which I can’t wait to get started on!! . Thank you to everyone who took the time to come and say hello. As a small business it really does mean a great deal to me to hear what you have to say and I’m so grateful to everyone who made purchases today 😊 . Plus my new roller banner got its first outing 😍😍

So I’m trying to remain positive whilst it absolutely chucks it down outside 🌧 🌧 🌧 . What activities are you doing with your little ones today? Always looking for fun inside ideas 😁

Have you had the hideous rainy weather today? ☔️ 🌧 Does the weather not know it’s only August?! Does the weather not know my tumble drier is currently broken?!! 🤦‍♀️ . I am totally not ready for it not to be flip flop weather 😕 but on the plus side it does mean it’s nearly snood weather 😁😁 🍂🍂 Wrapping up warm and snuggly is my favourite things about the cooler weather.

Apparently it’s time to play “sewing” rather unsurprisingly I’m not so convinced!! 😳😳 . Don’t worry I didn’t let him near anyone’s orders 🤦‍♀️😂

Let’s just take a moment to celebrate the humble apple because in my house they are quite frankly a godsend. Boy is hungry, give him an apple, boy needs keeping awake give him an apple, boy needs a toy to entertain him give him an apple. Basically if in doubt, give him an apple!! 🤦‍♀️😂 . Thank goodness they come in such lovely colours 🍎 🍏 . . Do you have go to snacks for your little ones? . Thank you to @speight_family for these gorgeous pics of Jessica. I’m loving her expressions, clearly apples are also very interesting objects too 🍏🍎😁 . . . . . . . #skaterdress #dress #dressingup #knottedheadband #handmade #artisan #apples #harvesttime #pickingapples #mummythatmakes #cuteasabutton #summerdress #matchiematchie #autumnvibes🍁 #organic #toddlersnacks #eatingwell #cute #love #mamalove #mamatwinning #kidsootd #happydance #handmadeisbest #shoplocal #handmadewithlove #handmadewithcare #autumniscoming #mumblog #mumbloguk

Its been a long parenting week this week! Why is it some weeks feel at least twice the length of others 🤔 🤔 . I know some people go to the bathroom, some the kitchen and some people ‘do the washing’ but for me the only place I seem to get any peace is when I’m in the car. . Even when my boy is in the car I press play on his DVD player and revel in the uninterrupted time I have to think 💭 #bliss . Where’s your moment of calm?

Just working through some new fabric options and as per usual I’m about 50 billion hours into my procrastination!! Obviously a slight exaggeration but for all those procrastinators out there please let me know I’m not alone 😳 . Anyway what do you think to this one? I’m in need of at least a second maybe third opinion, ok likely fourth 🤦‍♀️😂 . #toomanydecisions . . . . . . . #procrastinator #help #decisionsdecions #helpmeplease #newfabric #autumnfabric #yesorno #toomuch #toobusy #sewing #organicfabric #organicfashion #slowfashion #madetolast #devon #mumthatmakes #making #mumblog #mumlife #shoplocal #shopsmall #madeinengland #decisionmaker #autumncollection #autumnvibes #winterwardrobe

Let’s just take a moment to remember the sunshine before the rain comes over the next few days!! ☔️ 🌧 . Not sure my knotted headbands will look quite so lovely styled like this little lady’s over a rain hat 😂🤦‍♀️ . #rainraingoaway . . . . . . . #buggeroffrain #stormyskies #summer #britishweather #summerhat #summerstyling #rainraingoaway☔️ #skaterdress #knottedheadband #sunshine #sunpleasestay #kidsfashion #kidsclothing #organicfashion #pretty #girly #matching #kidsootd #toddlerootd #dandelion #summergarden #babyclothes #kidsclothesonline #handmadeisbest #shopsmall #mumthatmakes

I’ve been sorting through a few drawers today and came across some of my boys newborn bits and pieces. We only kept a few items mainly for sentimental purposes but also because he might like to see them when he’s older... well maybe!! . Consequently the inevitable “oh my god I can’t believe how small he was” comments were made and it got me wondering at what age do we stop commenting about how much our kids have grown? 🤔 I like most people am a little obsessed (ok read a lot!!) with the size of my child, but thinking about it, it does feel like a bit of a crazy obsession 😝 . So here’s a few of my little leggings in 0-3 months as a little reminder, to save you rummaging through your drawers, to see how little your kids were once upon a time ago😍😍😂😂 #yourwelcome . . . . . . . #growing #tall #short #average #newborn #height #toddler #kidsheight #mumlife #newbornclothes #tinybaby #littleone #leggings #newborngift #gettingtall #growthchart #musings #motherhoodunplugged #plymouth #exeter #tidyingup #storage #funtimes #sortingstuff #sentimental #love #mumlove
