Easy Upgrades that Add Value to Your Home
Day to day, few of us consider the value of our house. When we’re on the lookout for a new property, the cost is one of the first things that we consider. Aside from the very lucky few, we’ve got a budget to stick to after all, and there’s no point in wasting time, and getting excited about houses that you could never afford to buy. But, once you are in and settled, you don’t think about how the changes that you are making are affecting the value of your home. You don’t believe that this is something that you need to consider if you’ve got no intention of selling anytime soon.

Pottery at Crackpotz Ceramic Café
A few weeks ago, we went along with the Aiming High group hosted by the Staffordshire County Council to a pottery painting class at the Crackpotz Ceramic Café. This was my children’s first time painting pottery and they were both very excited.
It was not far from our home and it didn’t take us long to reach there but having lived here for a while, I had not been to this small village in the countryside before. It was delightfully peaceful too!
After we arrived, both children were asked to choose the ceramic pottery they would like to decorate. Ms C went for cat while Mr K went for shark. Next they started painting it.

Spring / Summer Crafts
Crafts are always a great way to entertain a bunch of children especially during a party. We often find that whenever we have friends and their children over, our home quickly becomes a madhouse especially with our children as ringleaders. So by giving them something to do like group activities, it helps to ease the noise and mess in the house.
Baker Ross have recently sent me their new summer crafts collections which include the Sealife decoration Sewing Kits, Monster Scratch Art Magnets, Mermaid Weaving Bookmark Kits, Ceramic Gnomes, Coloured Sequins and many more.
Each kit is well packed and they are also great for party bags. They are very well priced and great value. The kits are easy to follow and make. They are always of good quality and come with full instructions.
Last week, we had a birthday party. The children started playing with the action figures and created a battlefield in the kitchen. To clear them off, I gave each child a craft kit to do with their parents. They were all very pleased doing it.
The monster scratch art magnets were a big hit. They all love to scratch and made funny designs on their monsters.
Fish Mobile
This is a very easy craft that we made during the Easter holiday break. Both of my children love fishes and so we decided to make this fish mobile to hang it in our conservatory. We spent at least 20 minutes to colour all the fishes and took me around 10 minutes to thread them into this simple yet beautiful fish mobile.
Happy New Year 2015
