My favourite bits of the Suffolk Show.

Well, I missed Prince Harry at the Suffolk Show yesterday. I have to admit that he was upstaged by a Suffolk Punch foal...

There I was getting all maternal over this little fella...as His Royal Highness was giving out awards in the main show-ring.
Not to worry...so many things to see and so little time meant I had a great day anyway!
The foods on show were amazing and I admit to the consumption of a 'berry and custard danish' that was as big as my face!!

But the animals, as always, were the stars of the show....

And how about these dedicated youngsters...

Even the crafts had an animal theme...

These delightful felt heads are hand-made by Sarah Jane Hicks at A Little Bit O' Nicey...and I hope to be selling them at Dreams and Wishes very soon...

Well done and thank you to all those involved in the endless task of organising and hosting the Suffolk Show.

Three crafting websites to get you through half-term.

In no particular order...well you decide if you can...but, hopefully, full of ideas to keep the kids amused for the next few days.

And now you know why I can't choose a favourite...

House style ideas for a kid's room.

Take a look at the new Roddy and Ginger 'Smalltown' wallpaper...how cute is that?
I'm so taken by it that I've been looking for complimentary decor options for a themed kid's room using the charcoal option, Hastings...

A bit 'kitsch' I know, but not if you choose minimal designs in modern materials...how about these....

Wirework storage and accessories for a kid's room.

Industrial style wire-work accessories are a robust, long-lasting addition to a kid's room and wandering around Pulse last weekend, there was no shortage of ideas on how to include them in all kinds of interiors...

Colourful kid's rooms

There's no other room in the house quite like a kid's room for throwing out all the decorating rules and just doing whatever...
These rooms are crammed full of clashing colours and all look great...wouldn't you agree...?
