I think it’s time for another giveaway but I want you to work for it. I’ve gone deep into my personal vault of embarrassing stories and am asking you to do the same. You need to fess up, tell me the MOST embarrassing thing that has happened to you and I’ll let retro daddy pick […]

Phew, I’ve had to apologise to my lovely sewing machine. I said such mean things to it on saturday afternoon when it wasn’t sewing for me. Turns out after I tried to fix it internally I put the bobbin case back in all wonky and that made things worse. Thank goodness its working and we’re […]

uh oh I’m setting a dangerous precedent of making new dresses for keira to wear every Sunday!

I made a quick batch of keira’s cookies with 1/2 cup of smarties yesterday (most delicious)….and of course was asked by keira for a little plate of them…..but she didn’t eat them, oh no she spent a looooong time organising them, counting them, re-organising them… and after what seemed like hours had passed, she finally […]
