From Devon with Love

So. It turns out that gestating another human being is quite the time and energy hungry process.  Who knew? However, I am officially on maternity leave as on Monday and the baby is due in j...

I'd quite like to go and put my pyjamas on but they're all the way upstairs and me and my massive tummy (part mashed potato, part baby) are all the way down here and I can see how we're ever goin...

Actually on second thoughts, I might hold off on the questioning the nature of reality thing.  Just for tonight, you know?  It's late and we're all tired.  Let's just leave reality as it is fo...

Hello there - my goodness life is quite a busy thing isn't it?  There's a lot going on at the moment and I have produced a total of one layout in about 4 months (I know, my profligacy is really ...

Well by now I'll have fled the country in the manner of a fugitive, except for the fact I'm hoping to be allowed back in a couple of weeks without a police escort. In the meantime, here are the ...

Just thought I'd stop by bright and early to share a preview of the layouts I made with SBK's May kit.  It's called 'Birthday' as SBK was founded 2 years ago in Hungary and what better way t...

With the (brilliant) demise of Ashes to Ashes a couple of weeks ago, I've been feeling the need to relive the whole series from start to finish. So follwing some hasty DVD purchasing, we've s...

I'm reading this great book at the moment, it's called The Importance of Being Kennedy and is a sort of fictional account of real events in the lives of the Kennedy family. I've read it before...

Did you miss me?  Anyone? No? I didn't think so, but I know it's been a while so there was always an outside chance someone might have noticed my absence. Nonetheless, I'm back.  As of y...

Well hello.  It is I, the incredible sporadic blogger who has much to say in one week and nothing to say in the following three. Part of the problem is probably that this is suppose to be a craf...

I've had a busy old week, (finally) submitting my dissertation proposal, discussing bridesmaid dresses and starting Document 2010 (quite late). However, I've also pulled together this layout us...

http://fromdevonwithlove.blogspot.com/2010/03/sbk-marck-kit-sneak-peak.html

So.  How is the dissertation proposal going I hear you ask.  I'm actually going to pretend I didn't hear that because as you should be able to tell from the title of this post, it might ...

I've been very busy crafting away this week, but it's all secret squirrel stuff for Lizzie's wedding invitations and so in an uncharacteristically reticent manner, I'll keep them to myself (for n...

Firstly, thank you very much for all your sweet weekend-y wishes.  We had a lovely, if frantically busy and exhausting time and while I'm sworn to secrecy on the dress front, if I nod and wink i...

Well if everything has gone to plan I'm in London now, probably at the Wedding Show.  Don't you think scheduled posts are weird?  It's kind of like I'm speaking from the beyond the grave but i...

Following last week's sneaky peaks, I'm finally allowed to reveal the complete layouts made with  SBK's Snowdrop Kit .  The colours in this kit are so right for this time of year and the ribbon...

Blogging 4 days in a row? Surely that level of commitment is just not in my nature.  Anyone would think it was some sort of hysterical displacement activity to avoid focusing on the rather pr...

No doubt winter does have its good points, photo opportunties like this for one thing and snuggly duvets, Christmas, open fires and warming soups to name four more.  I'm all about the progress...

I just wanted to share a couple of sneaky peaks of my layouts made with SBK's February kit. I'll publish the full layouts in a week or so but I couldn't contain myself anymore because this kit w...

I absolutely love this picture.  I know that it can't really be the 70s because I'm at least 3 here but everything from my Mum's hair and the chunky pottery on the cabinets to my Dad's pi...

So what's been going on?  Christmas was merry, gorgeous, relaxing and involved all the sleeping, chocolate and amaretto one could want.  We spent Christmas day at home (breaking with the tradi...

You know, I've been finding getting back on the various wagons quite difficult this year and therefore I am seriously considering adopting failure as a way of life.  As soon as Christmas wa...
