About Polly
I’m a full time mama to three beautiful, home schooled girls. I blog at Pixie Mama about life, crafts and inspiration. I love to be creative – and I sell handmade jewellery and upcycled clothing in my Etsy Shop.

Your top five guilty pleasures
- Peanut butter – in anything, straight out of the jar, but especially on toast with some jam!
- Long, hot bath, candles burning, book in hand = bliss.
- Reading in the daytime – with a house to run, blog & shop to run, 3 children to look after & educate – I always have something I should be doing. Reading in the daytime feels very naughty – but very nice!
- Turkish delight – preferably Fry’s chocolate covered one.
- Sloe gin – perfect drink to relax in an evening with.
