I’ll let you in on a secret; our ground floor is made up of only 2 rooms. The first is the living area which is North facing and has space for a sofa and a dining table and chairs at a squish.

School Bag Charm
Today I’d like to introduce you to my friend Michelle who blogs at Mollymoo. She is incredibly talented, winner of Irish Craft Blog of the year (amongst several other categories) at 2012 Blog Awards Ireland, an amazing crafter, photographer and graphic designer. Michelle, along with Miss Molly have designed a very special piece of crafting that kids can do by themelves (with a little adult help). Today they’re making school bag charms. If you’ve not checked out Michelle’s blog yet, please do. It is amazing and great, great fun.
