*Announcement* My youngest finished at playgroup a couple of weeks ago and we’re now enjoying our summer holidays ready for her to start her next big adventure at school in September. I’m also going to start my own adventure as I’m going back to work after almost 10 years as a stay at home mum! With this in mind I’ve taken the decision to close my #Etsy shop and stop making items to sell. Thingybobs was always supposed to be a part time venture whilst I was at home and I’ve been so grateful to everyone that has liked, commented, shared and purchased from me ❤️ I will still be sewing for pleasure and am hoping especially to get into sewing my own clothes so you will still hear from me every now and again 😁 Lots of love Katherine xx #etsyseller #sewistsofinstagram #workathomemum #sewing #backtowork #endofanera #adventuresawait https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_03YDFl63/?igshid=gchgmjh7syaw

To celebrate the return of my favourite ever programme I thought I would share this photo of me and Patrick Grant 😁 (sshh don’t tell anyone he’s made of cardboard! 🤫😉) Anyone else looking forward to the Great British Sewing Bee? . . . . . #dowhatyoulove #etsy #etsyseller #etsyshop #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #shopsmall #shopsmallchangehabits #smallbusiness #workathomemum #greatbritishsewingbee #sewingbee #patrickgrant #cardboardpatrick https://www.instagram.com/p/Btx7e-KFMQ7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jws8p0bvj49i

So I know World Book Day is in March but for some reason my kids school does their Book Week in February every year (I’m sure it’s just to keep us on our toes!) This year’s theme is The Wizard of Oz so I present to you the cowardly lion and a flying monkey! I always hand make their costumes as much as I can, although I wasn’t so happy about it at 10 o’clock last night when I was still sewing! Their costumes might not always be the best but they are definitely made with love....and blood,sweat and tears...and in this case a few swear words too!! 🙊 Have a great Monday everyone ❤️ . . . . . #sewistsofinstagram #dowhatmakesyouhappy #bookweek #wizardofoz #cowardlylion #flyingmonkey #handmadecostume #fancydress #fancydresscostume #madewithlove #ineedarestnow https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvMCTelQH5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10tup6yzi7z39

Couldn't agree with this more!!

I was always Team Jennifer (aniston). She was my favorite friend, I love her hair, blah, blah, blah. And yesterday she said something that really makes a hell of a lot of sense.

To paraphrase: Our worth as women shouldn’t be defined by marriage or having children.

I agree=100%!

Kids aren’t for...

Seeing Chris Evans do the ice bucket challenge was one the the greatest things that’s happened to me all year.

So, there are a lot of people criticizing the ALS ice bucket challenge for reasons, but let me tell you a story. I worked at CVS (for anyone who doesn’t know, that’s a very big chain...

My 4 year old asked me this morning 'how many birthdays do mummy's get?' Not wanting to start a discussion about the inevitability of death 5 minutes before we had to leave the house I replied 'ooh as many as they want' 'how many do you want mummy?' 'About 100, what about you?' 'I want about 31, just until I get bored of playing with toys'. I love that boy so much :) #kids
