I popped to Fabric Shack today and I have to say what a little treasure it is!

F is wanting to make some Christmas fluffy hats so asked me to buy her some chunky yarn (which I did) but while I was there I saw so much fabulous fabric that had me all excited.

Hoping you’re all okay x

These tops were so quick and easy to make and I loved changing the basic design and adding my own spin on them.

No fastenings, no zips or buttons just a little elastic that helped keep them to the body. F lived in these as a toddler.

The white fabric was an old sheet, the owl top had sleeves of Liberty fabric and the green top was made from an IKEA scrap of fabric. They’d really can be made of anything.

Summer came for the day yesterday and we finally had a beautiful day with no rain at all.

I was sweatier than a sweaty thing because we’ve not had the slow build up to summer this year but just hot (for me) days and then the rain comes again.

It was lovely to have the doors open to the little valley and have the scene interrupted by arguing over how to play football on a slope 😉

Lovely to see the deer running in the field this morning. Listen for the sounds they make -I never knew they were quite so high pitched.

So my precious downstairs toilet was a haven with rows of books that made me smile every time I walked in to use it.

My new downstairs toilet has a single book (about toilets), a robot picture on the cistern and a miniature crossbow from Warwick Castle.

I can’t even begin to wonder who put the crossbow there…

A lovely day catching up with friends with children excitedly finding all of the new hiding places around the cottage.

Then the rain came and they went outside to find all the new hiding places outside the cottage.

It’s grey over them there hills…

The photo does show us appearing to be barbecuing some Bob the Builder toys 😂

IKEA definitely have the right idea of a sewing room…

It’s been a busy week here. We’ve had 8 around the table catching up with an old friend and her teens. It’s lovely watching all our children chatting away and expressing opinions. Seems like only yesterday they were little people (often with just as big opinions 😉).

My teapot friend visited yesterday and we, as usual, put the world to rights and caught up on our various news.

Today we have friends visiting from Essex and we’re off to Bath tomorrow for a day out (or today, I promise I was listening 😳)

And then Friday, Saturday and Sunday is when I put on my mum cape and become ’Super Mum!’ and ferry my 3 teens around the country to their various social events. 1 has work, 2 have sleepovers, birthday celebrations and parties.

Today they will attempt to put up the tent to see if all the poles made it through the move (I’m not sure they did) so they can have friends to stay next week. We’ve an area to the side of the house I want to set up as an area for the teens so they can have friends over. I will be trawling Facebook marketplace for inexpensive or free items because after moving I have little budget left for fun things.

How’s the back end of your week shaping up? Are you the family taxi?
How do you make sure you have time for what you want to do with teens who need driving to various places?
