Maybe we can get some tips on "souping" up our own engine!

Spring has Sprung!

I've used my Cath Kidston fabric to make into cutlery rolls in the hope that Spring has finally sprung and we can brave the great outdoors again!  So, brush off the picnic basket, dig out the melamine and if you need somewhere handy to keep your cutlery how about one of these?!  http://www.snugadub.talktalk.net/Cutlery_Rolls.html

P.S.  If you like the Vintage Red Poppy Melaware shown in the photograph I do actually have some in stock at present (£30 for a 4 person set consisting of 4 dinner plates, 4 side plates and 4 cups & saucers - I could split it into individual place settings at £8 per set)  If you're interested just drop me an e-mail

New goodies for your Campervan

Well, a new parcel of yarn arrived last week so I'm back into "Granny Blanket" crochet mode - can you get R.S.I. from crochet???  I've spent this afternoon updating the website but I've still got a way to go before I can publish, so many new goodies, vintage Melaware, craft kits for kids, links for campervan hire, camper van themed gifts. Anyway, I'll let you know when I've got everything updated!  Keep watching!

Puppets - Great for bored kids on long journeys!

We've just added puppets to our goodies on the website.  We bought our kids a couple and now they can't wait for long trips so "Bob" and "Bluey" can wave a passers by on the motorway (and if you own a campervan you'll know there are plenty of people passing you!).  Our kids even ditched the Nintendos for puppets - amazing, no mention of "I'm bored, are we nearly there yet?"!  I can't promise total harmony but it's certainly given us a few more peaceful trips!  We've got three varieties available,
Baby Birds, Sockettes and CarPets a sample of which are shown here.

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!

Right, that's it!  I'm fed up with winter!  I've made this seaside themed bunting to cheer myself up.  Great to hang around your camper van or caravan awning, maybe in the garden....bring on the deckchairs, knotted hankies, fish & chips and sand where you didn't know you could get sand....
