PJ & boo

09/06/2021

It’s like riding a bike! 🚲🪡
.. It’s been a while (again). Had the sewing machine out tonight making bunting for a special party coming up very soon, so thought I’d pop in and say hello.

Hope everyone is ok and navigating their way through these crazy times.

Lots of love, Clare ♥️

Happy Friday guys! 🎃

As promised, here I am in all my witchy glory reading the Halloween story I wrote to help raise money for Marie Curie.

Please enjoy ‘The Witch Who Lost Her Wand’ and if you can, please like and share to help us spread the word about our virtual fundraising Spookfest.

We have lots of lovely online Halloween activities we will be sharing over the next few days.

Any donations very gratefully received here >

Clare, from the Camberley Fundraising Group for Marie Curie, has written this original Spookfest story, suitable for all ages.

Oh my! It seems *another* year has passed since I last posted and boy, what a year it’s been! 😕

I hope everyone is keeping well and safe through these trying times. How have you all been? I still miss my page very much and chatting with everyone on here.

So I am here for a reason - but it’s a very good one!

As a lot of you will know, there are a couple of charities very close to my heart that I help fundraise for and one of them is Marie Curie. 💛

I’m a member of Camberley Fundraising Group for Marie Curie and every year (under normal circumstances) we hold a fantastic Halloween event for the local little ones called Spookfest! As we all know, this year is definitely not normal circumstances and we haven’t been able to go ahead as usual. We are, however, taking the event online in the hope that we can still raise some money this Halloween!

If you have little ones, we have some lovely (free!) online activities coming very soon! And I’m afraid, whilst I don’t have bunting to offer, I did write and read a little Halloween story that your little ones may enjoy over half term!

Please follow our page below and join the Spookfest Group for more information 👻🎃

Evening lovelies!

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend.

Just putting some feelers out at the moment (nothing definite), but if I was to *perhaps* make some festive bunting like the one below I made a few years back, would there be any interest at all?

Two posts in one day?! Well this is quite frankly unheard of... 😂

In case you missed it earlier, I popped in after just a ‘little’ two years of absence, with a photo of a bunting set I created for a local youth charity this week.

I said I’d give you an update on *actual* PJ & boo themselves too so here we are!

Some of you will know that PJ & boo was named after my daughters (nicknames). The top photo is one I posted on my page back in 2013, around 6 months after I set up PJ & boo. PJ was 8 and boo was 4.

Fast forward 6 years and I now have a 14 and 10 year old! Time flies when you’re having fun! 💕

*taps mic*

Is this thing on?!

Can’t believe it’s been ANOTHER two years since I popped in to say hello AND two years since I last threaded up my faithful sewing machine!

This time I was absolutely delighted to make a pretty stack of logo coloured bunting for local youth and community charity Fleet Phoenix based in Fleet, Hampshire. Please do pop by their page and give them a like, especially if you are local. I know they appreciate all the support they receive so very much 💕🖤

I thoroughly enjoyed making this set so who knows... maybe I’ll keep the sewing machine out from the dusty confines of ‘under the bed’ and there could be a few PJ & boo revival pieces! Watch this space I guess!

Genuinely miss you all and my little page of bunting! 🥰

Love, Clare xx

Ps - you will not believe how much actual PJ & boo have grown (for those who know, this page is named after my daughters. Who wants to see a then and now pic!?!)

It's been almost two years since I used my sewing machine.... it's coming out of retirement for one weekend only to make some bunting for a very special wedding.

Threading it up tonight, I've realised how much I miss sewing.... and everyone on my page! So I thought I'd pop in and say hello! 😘😘

Evening all!

Popping in to say hello! The year has flown by and I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I'm still not making and I do miss it but I'm loving that my evenings and school holidays are for my girls now :)

We do however, have a new "just for fun" page! Some of you may remember when we rescued Bobby England - our cat with a tash who was hand reared by our local RSPCA after his mum was sadly killed. Well, last week a photo of him was shared over on the fantastic Pretty 52 and after getting 5.2k likes which my youngest daughter boo was sooooo excited about - we thought we'd make the most of his new found "fame" and create a page for him! So, if you're a fellow crazy cat lady (or man!) and fancy following a rather distinguished looking p***y cat who's also a bit grumpy, please do come over and say hi at Bobby England The Cat - it would be 'paw-some' to see you there! =^•^=

Another page I'd love to share with you this morning is Elizabeth Rose Vintage Teas. This weekend I helped arrange a Nashville themed hen do for a friend and we incorporated a vintage tea party into the afternoon. The lovely Elaine at Elizabeth Rose arrived with all of her beautiful vintage crockery and a delicious array of sandwiches, cakes and tea and made it the perfect afternoon. Here's a few photos that I took on the day and it would be lovely if you popped over to her page to say hi!

Morning all on this grey and rainy 'Summer's' day! Hope you're all well? Long time no speak (so I'm not sure who will even see this - fingers crossed it reaches a few!)
Popping in this morning to share a brand spanking new and very gorgeous page with you. I remember when I first set up PJ & boo and how exciting it was to have people visit and like my page (who I didn't know!) so it would be *awesome* if we could give my friend Carli over at Belle & Bobbins a good old fashioned Facebook hello with a wave and a like!
Here's a taste of what's to come on her page - love this salvaged and up-cycled 'Time Out' school chair (became let's face it, it's not just the kids who need time out - sometimes mummies and daddies do too... With wine! 😉)

Please do pop over with a like :)

Morning, morning and what a beautiful day! ☀️
So time flies and I'm still not back on my page in any way and part of me really misses it. I toyed with the idea of starting to blog as one of my huge faves in life is taking photos and I'd love to share them properly but I've not got round to it yet! Maybe one day soon :)
In the meantime though, I've been putting some love and photos into my Instagram account so if you're on there, please do come and find me to see what I've been up to, on my new handle -
