The link for the muslin squares further down is an affiliate link - just putting it out there so you know. You pay the same price but I'll get a few pennies too. How to dye fabrics with food. In my kitchen I have a little box for all of my favourite photo styling props - not that I've had chance to play much lately with my photography as the light has been so terrible over the Winter.

My parenting tips to avoid teen angst and reduce conflict….
I am a pretty laid back parent and although I know my parenting style isn’t for everyone, there’s no getting away from the act that, at 12 and almost 15 I’ve had a pretty easy time so far over the tween and teen years.And before you say it, I know, I’m touching wood as I type!I know that I’m not going to convince you that my lack of screen time restrictions and my relaxed approach to bedtime are a good thing and that’s OK with me because what’s right for your children isn’t necessarily right for mine and vice versa.I don’t think I’m doing too badly though with Miss Frugal recently … [Read more...]
