Saturday morning I was playing around with one of my little girl’s Bratz Dolls. I had read Monica’s write-up about Tanith Carey’s book “Where has my little girl gone?” And I felt a sense of relief that a Mother had published such a powerful message to give hope for change for our little girls future. The Bratz doll was mentioned and I felt it was time to change this…
The above Dracula bat dress, bat wings, bat mask and cobweb hat was something I made recently for my little girl’s dolly who is called Draculaura (Monster High Doll.)
This doll reminds me of the old days when I was a goth. Yes I know, best hide those photographs from my little girl as we do not want her following in Mummy’s footsteps! Funny thing is the costume I made for myself when…
When I was looking through the London Mums’ blogs I came across Tanith Carey’s amazing book called “Where has my little girl gone?” I am so excited about this book and hope it creates the change we need to protect our little girls from our plastic world.
Here is a video of my little girl de-Bratzing her Bratz doll into a Holly Blue Butterfly. I tried to mix up some paint…
Since I stopped working as a PA in London I seem to have problems knowing what day it is. This year I decided to make a change and to be more organised. Also my family and friends will find it quite amazing that I have stopped being late for everything, so that is worth a giggle in itself.

Cute, but boy, does she get up to mischief. Will tell you all about it sometime.
Here is the video of my little girl also looking like Cindy Woo:

I have fond memories of making gorgeous little peg dolls with my Nan when I was a little girl. Do you remember them? Here is my little St David’s day doll based on the Welsh Flower the Daffodil flower.
Here is a video on how to draw a face on a peg doll with felt tips. I was selling the peg doll kits in Borders before they shut down. I still have the unpaid cheque they gave me, ha ha. This…
Trash Pack is the new toy that is taking England and the UK by storm. They did run a talent competition for children to design their own Trash Packs, where the winner would get their design made and sold in stores.
Even though there is no competition for the UK at the moment they did email me to say that did not mean never and things could change.
So keep your eyes and ears open. Anyway here is…
First day back to school after the Christmas Holidays. I brought down the empty toilet rolls ready to go into the recycling and had to rush off to work. When I came back the kids had made Trash Packs out of the empty brown toilet roll holders.
Daddy was in charge of the kids for a few hours till I got back and they entertained themselves. How inventive I thought, so I just had to create a little…
