About The Boy





He has grown.......and needed new trousers!
Luckily,the Sketchbook shorts that I altered into trousers 12 months ago still fit around the waist and hips. They were just way too short!

So I lengthened them by a good 6 inches and made him...


Five cord pairs for school.



Two denim pairs for play.




And a very smart black pair for party!



How I love this boy(young man)!
He was a much longed for baby after many devastating losses. A blissful pregnancy followed by a long and difficult labour.
Born with an Apgar of 4,blue and floppy,I thought he had broke my heart before he could fill it.
I was so wrong.
He is loving and kind,wise far beyond his tender 13+ years.
I love watching him become the man I always hoped he would be,and the adult I have never managed to be.

Son&Heir....Beamish Boy.....Hornblower......Mr H....


I am honoured to have you in my life.

  1. He really is becoming a fine young man. My eldest, also 13, has shot up about 3 inches in a few weeks, I haven't braved sewing trousers, though yours look great. The recent request was for a jacket like 'Indiana Jones' so I better finish that.

    He had a blast and came home covered in round bruises!
