Spotted! The Soft Toy Sloth. Trust me; you’ll know you need her once you see her…
I know, I know. Who on earth would think about a soft toy sloth. But when Mr LittleStuff showed me Orange Mama Sloth, I felt like I’d been missing out. Where has my Sloth been all my life? She’s the perfect bed-buddy, big enough to really cuddle. And such a fun addition to a shelf in the nursery! Her bright orange fur is very soft, and her face and ‘claws’ are made of gentle brown canvas. Her body is 12.5...
VQ Christie – LOVE this clever & pretty little digital retro radio
Ages ago, my beloved leather-clad vintage-look kitchen radio slowly died a crackling, buzzing, untune-able death. When I looked for a replacement, I had just two criteria – that it would look stylish and lovely in my kitchen (basically it needed to be pretty enough to raise a smile every time I turned it on), and that it would have an iPod dock; a lot of my audio books are on my iPod, and they’re my listening of choice for...
It’s SO important to understand your energy bills – and stay in control, people.
A couple of years ago I got in a slight pickle with my energy bills. Entirely my own fault – I was providing readings, but the wrong ones (yeah, I know NOW you use the first set of digits on the gas meter, and ignore the ones outlined in red. But back then I thought those were the ones we needed…). Thanks to my ineptitude, we ended up out of balance with the billing, and needed some slightly painful re-adjustments to get...
LOOK! Vampire Dr Marten’s for Halloween – Marceline Boots with a furry tongue!
How’s this for the most awesome pair of Halloween boots EVER? Regular readers will know that we’re a family of huge DM fans – I was a big fan back in the 80’s, and never ever grew out of it. And now my daughter shares my passion – which is frankly a Good Thing for her feet. Not only are DM’s tough enough to stand up to her tree-climbing-always-running ways, but they’re soft and comfortable...
Ragtales and the three mice. DON’T miss these.
To call these soft little chaps ‘rag mice’ is doing them a bit of a disservice, isn’t it? I mean these guys are CUTE. Properly, achingly, can’t-put-them-down swee-e-e-e-eet. A few months ago we told you all about Ragtales, Mr Darcy Bear, and how they’re producing some Very Special Toys Indeed. But we saved the best for later. Because much as I love Mr Darcy Bear in his gorgeous duffle coat? These three...
Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer Review (from a 12yr old)
When Nintendo asked if we might like to try an Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer review I jumped at the opportunity – on a number of levels. First, because I know just how much Jolly & Bear LOVE Animal Crossing New Leaf – there was no way they wouldn’t want to try out the new game. Secondly, I knew with a joyous happy brain, that 12yr old Jolly would write the review for me, and do a MUCH better job than I...
