Easter Bargains Galore at Poundland
Firstly, please let me just say this. There was a time when people felt embarrassed to be seen shopping in Poundland. Just like when people used to cast furtive looks over their shoulders before entering a charity shop, to make sure their next door neighbour hadn't spotted them.
Well, not any more. Shopping for bargains is cool. Be proud. Repeat after me: "I LOVE POUNDLAND".
There, doesn't that feel better?
It's no secret that I love Poundland for craft materials. They have an ever changing range, and I always pop in when I'm in town and stock up on essentials like card, paints and glue, but also grab anything unusual I see that I think might come in useful for projects - fabric scraps; wire cutters; letter stickers etc.
You can check out some of the crafts I've done using their materials, like these amazing fabric flowers, Easter bunny cards; and Easter cookies.
I was lucky enough to be sent a whole host of Easter craft goodies. Some of which I've reviewed over on the Parent Panel reviews at New Mummy Tips.
I've had so much fun doing these kits, They are amazing value for money, great quality and there's something to suit everyone from toddlers to adults.
My favourite was the hand puppet kit. The pack contains everything you need to make two puppets. And I mean EVERYTHING! The pack says you'll need glue (not included), but you don't.
How cute are these? Ideal for older kids - or indeed adults. My 7 year old self would have loved making these - hell, my 37 year old self loved making these!
The felt is pre-punched with holes, so you simply sew the two pieces together. The wool and a little plastic needle is included. Then use the pre-cut, sticky-backed felt shapes to decorate. It was like playing with fuzzy felt again - only more fun.
Just think, if you're going away this Easter or visiting family, sling one of these kits in your bag. It will keep the kids happy and quiet for an hour or two. Or keep them busy during the Easter holidays.
Perhaps you'd like to try the finger puppet kits, or a cute straw bonnet to decorate?
There are stickers and embellishments to make your own cards.
Cookie cutters are not just for cookies!!
Paint stamps and rollers...
There are baskets and egg decorating kits for Easter hunts, the list goes on...
Pop into Poundland and see how far your pound can go!
Sponsored post: I happily endorse Poundland products as we use them all the time. However, after spotting some of my tweets and posts, Poundland kindly sent me a selection of products to try. Thank you Poundland!

Royal Wedding Craft Part II - That (Napkin) Ring!
As someone who spends more time than is healthy coveting other people's engagement rings, Kate's sapphire stunner is something to behold. Such an iconic ring, and of course I remember it when it was given to Lady Di.
I wanted to do a craft with Ruby based around the engagement ring. Here's what we came up with.
We basically improvised with what we had in the craft cupboard, and used
The beauty of kid's crafts is utilising what you have at home - for instance, if you don't have gold card you could cut up a loo roll middle and paint it gold. If you don't have gold paint you could go for the platinum look and cover it with tin foil...
It was also nice having a rummage around to find what we could use as the central Sapphire and the outer diamonds. We had silver sequins, blue glass beads and big clear plastic cabochons. In the end, I went for the cabochons, but rather that going out to buy blue ones specifically, I painted them with blue nail varnish! You could also use those glass nuggets you get for flower vases.
Cut your card into strips. Ours were about 3cm wide, but you do what suits best.
Snip halfway through at each end (on opposite sides) so that you can slot together to make a cylinder shape.
Laid out flat, stick on your jewels. We looked at a picture of the ring on the internet, and Ruby described what she could see.
When dry, slot together to make a napkin holder or bracelet.
You can hardly tell them apart right?!
We'll be using them as bracelets. Originally they were going to be napkin holders, but since we'll be spending the day celebrating at a party in a field, I don't expect there will be much call for napkin rings!
Note: Please take care using small pieces with young children.

Inspired Birthday Presents
It's been an extremely busy week. My birthday was at the weekend and we went away for a lovely country retreat. We then came back to the mammoth task of preparing the house for sale, and have just instructed an estate agent - eek!
Consequently I've hardly had a minute to spare at home to do anything for me. White Lily Green's fabulous blog and her Handmade Thursday party has really inspired me to try and find the time to do some crafting each week, but sadly this hasn't always been possible.
(I must also say a special thanks to Tracy and Molly who sent me gorgeous handmade birthday cards and lovely gifts).
I've been encouraged and inspired by the wonderful Red Ted Art and lots of other crafty peeps to make and do with Ruby, but have finally realised that I actually quite like making stuff, and I should try and do more 'adult' crafts. With this in mind, I produced a crafty themed birthday list, and my wonderful family didn't disappoint.
My brother and sister-in-law gave me a voucher for our Craft Centre - a glorious shop, crammed with artists materials and craft supplies. I could happily spend hours in there viewing the exhibitions of local artists, lusting over the beads, ribbons and paintbrushes, and stroking the stunning gift ware. I think I shall pop in there later and spend up! I intend to buy candle-making bits, but am likely to be distracted by other pretties.
The old man redeemed himself after the Mother's Day fiasco, by going on a total splurge at Liberty's. I think he must have played the 'clueless bloke' trick, and seems to have been given amazing one-to-one service and advice. I was like a kid in a sweet shop unwrapping this stunning Liberty sewing box:
Then came all the diddy little bits to go inside, like a little mouse pin cushion complete with whiskers and a tail with a bell; a jar of vintage buttons (also with a padded lid which doubles as a pin cushion); a needle case with a darling pair of scissors in; a vintage style wooden ruler and some 'proper' pins.
He was recommended this book 'Get the most from your Sewing Machine' by Marion Elliot. It's right up my street. A big emphasis on recycling, using up scraps and updating old clothes, I've already admired many of the projects held within it's pages.
The gift from my in-laws is perfect too. I already had my name down for a local beginners sewing course starting next month with School of Craft, but they have only gone and booked and paid for it! Look at this lovely 'voucher' they presented me with.
My parents got me beautiful presents too, including this padded noticeboard. Currently it holds some rather dodgy childhood photos, but in my new house (in my now essential requirement of a study-cum-office-cum-craft room-cum sewing room) it will display my inspirations, ideas and projects.
It's fair to say, I was one very happy, very lucky birthday girl.
Hopefully I'll be able to do all these gifts justice and make some beautiful things to share with you.

In an Emergency - would you know what to do?
Today I attended a half-day training course on emergency first aid for babies and children. I hadn't even realised until Parental Circle pointed it out, but this week is National First Aid Awareness Week.
Although quite a long time ago now, I did complete a four-day Appointed Person course, and it was great to see that I hadn't forgotten it (it was probably going on for 10 years ago). That said, a lot of the regulation and advice has now changed, and being a first aid at work course it focused mainly on adults.
As a parent now I was very keen to learn the different techniques applied to babies and children (particularly in choking incidents and resuscitation). I've been trying to get on a course for ages, but one has never come up at the right time and place. I was certain that if anything ever happened to my child, then I'd go into panic mode. Refreshing this skill is important, because the more you practice, the more likely that your learned knowledge will kick in.
I think that basic first aid is an essential skill. I think everyone should learn and be equipped to sustain life in the event of an emergency. Try out these quick questions and see how you do...
1. If a person stops breathing, how long without oxygen will it be before brain cells start dying:
a. 3 - 4 minutes
b. 5 - 6 minutes
c. 1 - 2 minutes
d. 7 - 8 minutes
2. If you find a person collapsed on the floor, what should you do first?
a. check for a pulse
b. check they are breathing
c. call an ambulance
d. check it is safe
3. In an emergency, what would be the best thing to use on a severe burn?
a. padded dressing
b. towel
c. cling film
d. kitchen roll
4. What is the recommended cycle for resuscitation of an adult?
a. 10 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths
b. 20 chest compressions and 5 rescue breaths
c. 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths
d. 20 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
See below for the suggested answers:
1. a; 2. d; 3. c and 4. c. How did you do??
The course I attended, although basic, did give me confidence and a good general understanding. God forbid, but if my toddler was now choking or stopped breathing, I would know what to do. The training was very straightforward, there was lots of practical sessions using resuscitation dummies; and through repetition, the correct sequence of events should hopefully embed firmly on my brain.
One fact about my training group startled me. There were 9 delegates on the session - all mums. Of those 9 mums, 2 had experienced their babies stop breathing. Thankfully their children are all now fit and well, but it made me realise that it's much more common than I'd thought.
My course was run by a local charity, and offered free of charge at our local Sure Start Centres. I recommend that if you have a centre nearby, you register your interest and get them to mail you when they have courses coming up. There are many other organisations and charities who run courses specifically aimed at parents, including the Tesco's BabySafe Course (follow them on Twitter); The British Red Cross and St John Ambulance.
I urge you, if you do one thing this week - find out about a local first aid course. What better time to learn how to save a life than during First Aid Awareness Week?

Traintastic Crew - New Chuggington DVD released
As a Chuggington Ambassador we were very lucky to receive on pre-release a copy of the brand new Chuggington DVD.
I'm actually amazed that Ruby hasn't worn it out already it's been played that many times.
The official release date is TODAY! So you can get your hands on a copy for your little trainees.
Crammed full of fun, our favourite trainees prepare a dance routine to celebrate Puffer Pete’s 150th anniversary and attend Olwin’s outward-bound training course.
Meanwhile, at the depot, Hodge tries to go it alone but causes chaos on the rails, and a TV documentary finds Emery launching a bid for fame!
6 episodes:
- Late Again Eddie
- Inspector Emery
- Outward Bound Olwin
- Old Puffer Pete's Big Show
- Famous Emery
- Hodge's Secret
This one gets a huge thumbs up from us!!
Sponsored post: the DVD was received free of charge for the purposes of this review, however any views expressed are accurate and honest.
Magpie Monday - Birthday Treats
I realise it's not everyone's idea of heaven, but I spent my birthday weekend away in the depths of Suffolk, happily trawling the charity shops. We even managed to stumble on a car boot sale on Sunday, and spotted a garage sale on the way home. This resulted in a very uncomfortable drive home with stuff wedged in the car and Ruby demanding "why have we got all this stuff Mummy?"
We did manage to fit in some 'normal' stuff - like a long country walk, a visit to the beach, a nice meal out etc- but the treasure hunting was perhaps my favourite part.
In a little charity shop, crammed in the plastic tub of non-descript pictures and frames, I found this little gem. I spotted the corner first and instantly thought it might be Art Deco. When I pulled it out and turned it over, it was apparent it was an old frame - not a naff reproduction one. Even better, I spotted the price sticker - £3!!
It needs a bit of tidying up, and the stand on the back is missing but I think I can repair it. I just need to find a suitable photo to do the shell pink colour and mirrored frame justice.
Then we popped into what is probably the largest Oxfam store I've ever been in. Sadly it was 10 minutes before closing time and the manager was making a big song and dance about how she had to get away on time. Much rushing around like a headless chicken, resulted in nothing, until I spotted the little locked cocktail cabinet which served as their vintage section. It was full of sparkles and baubles and after getting it unlocked, I sat on the floor and had a rummage.
I spotted this ring, which I loved instantly. It's a Sarah Coventry ring, so I was surprised it had been picked out for display in the locked cabinet, yet still had a price tag of only £1.99. I've worn it every day since I purchased it!
My old man had never heard of Sarah Coventry, so I tried explaining that although only costume jewellery, her items were quite collectable. I logged on to Ebay to show him, and lo and behold there was an identical ring for sale at £23.50 - result! Not that I'm going to sell it.
Finally, possibly the purchase I'm most pleased with. We stumbled upon a car boot sale quite late in the morning. Most stalls were already packing up, but I saw this cute little dog still out on the floor with some other bits while his owner packed up the car. I could tell he was wearing a little Liberty print coat from 50 paces, but was even more pleased when I picked him up to find he had a Liberty label on too.
Now, here's where it's handy to have a cute daughter! She took him off me and began to cuddled him, gazing adoringly at her new Scottie. "Ahhh" said the ladies. "Let me see how much he is Ruby" I said. "How much do you want for the dog?" I asked. "Oh" she replied "well, I did want quite a bit for him, he's Liberty you see". One more look at Ruby and she said "give me £2 for him and he's yours".
We skipped gleefully away!!
