Yesterday I was trying to create a butterfly pattern for the Bratz doll to sell on Ebay, when it all went horribly wrong (or did it?). The butterfly mask ended up looking like a bumblebee. As I am one of those fluke people who just goes with the flow, I thought oh well, I may as well make a bumblebee costume pattern instead.
The great thing about this pattern/kit idea is that is it child…
Little Snowflake comes up with the most amazing little character ideas. There she was sitting in the kitchen blowing up balloons. I was just washing up and then suddenly she said “Mummy what do you think of this?” There before my eyes I saw two balloons stuck to each other. One little and one big! It looked like a balloon bomb.
She then got hold of the black marker pen and started to…
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…
This photograph of Cleo De Nile, who is one of the Monster High Dolls, is wearing my very own Cleopatra costume, which I made for my daughter’s friends’ birthday. I asked her Mother this week what she would like and she gave me the Monster High dolly.
I have to admit I adore Egyptian history and have always been drawn to Cleopatra through her beauty and sheer confident presence.
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…
Commuters on the Waterloo to Chessington South line were left bemused this Wednesday 21 March 2012, first day of Spring, by the appearance of four larger-than-life travel companions in their train carriage.
Madagascar stars Alex, King Julien, Gloria and Mort were spotted en route to Chessington World of Adventures Resort in Surrey, where they are due to appear in new live stage show…
The show might be the same one year on year but it is still amazing for both kids and parents. Three years after seeing the show at the O2 I took my family to the Wembley Arena show and it did not disappoint us. Not even daddy….
I am always quite impressed by the skating talents and the beauty of the artists performing. That’s maybe why even daddies loved the show so much 🙂

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…
