The colours are back: Springtime
Posted on 14th March 2019 at 22:29
Taken from the poem ‘Mother’
You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You’ll always see.

February Half Term

"Today was good
Today was fun
Tomorrow is another one"
Dr Seuss
So, the New Year is in full swing and half term is just around the corner (although, didn’t the children just head back to School after Christmas?). It is a welcome break however, I’m sure most parents would agree, as the first term back can be a little tiring with the winter months still looming....not for much longer though as Spring is starting to show its face again, yay!
What's new for 2019?

From all of the BellaCrafts team, we would like to wish you all a very healthy and happy New Year!!
With a new beginning and fresh start,
Full of inspiration and positive thoughts,
Let's begin this year with an optimistic thought.

It's a Tuesday morning in October (already?!), half term is just around the corner, Christmas is looming in the not too distant future. If you're anything like us at BellaCrafts, then you've been busy filling up your Autumn calendar and rushing round keeping on top of work, family, social life, chores etc.... But when was the last time you stopped and thought about YOU?

Heavenly scents to fill a room,
Elaborate blossoms, in every hue,
Looking up, the sun to view,

Endless varieties for you to grow....

Summer seems to just lift everyone’s spirit, it is the time for infinite fun and holidays to sunny destinations! Even better, if our current heatwave continues, we may not even have to travel very far!
One of our favourite things here at BellaCrafts (aside from seeing you lovely lot in The Barn) is the number of events and festivals we are invited to attend over the summer months. We will certainly be clocking up the miles!! Here are just a few of the events we will be attending…..brace yourself:

Hermoine here, part time BellaCrafter, full time Mummy and seasonal gardener. So, I don’t want to put a hex on the season but I do believe summer is here!! (Please don’t email with complaints when it starts to rain, haha). There are so many things to enjoy at this time of year, the days are longer and feel like a warm hug and nature seems to just explode around us in beautiful blooms and luscious greens, it’s no wonder we all then turn our attention to the outside spaces and fulfil our title of being a nation of gardeners.
