Pencils cases

For any of you who remember the pencil case which I created for Noah at the start of P1, they have started to breed...

I took Noah's to a craft show and was amazed at how many people ordered them - with a specially created girl's version.

Christmas comes but twice a year

Last week Seth and I were trying to think of something to do with our play dough and hey presto he came up with a lovely "Ho ho ho scene". Perfectly on season etc... He was so proud of it and insisted in taking it to show daddy at work!

Now off to find somewhere to store it until Christmas!

Egg No.1

Dscf1842

Well, we had our first beautiful egg yesterday morning.

Much smaller than usual shop bought, but I am led to believe that they increase in size as time goes on. there was much joy and shrieking from our garden at 7am as said egg arrived two full weeks earlier than expected! Scott - got a cuddle for we suspect it was her egg.

And then, this one tiny egg was boiled and savoured by all four of us along with mini toast soldiers. And yes it did taste delicious - better than our normal free range organics!!

The egg was also followed by another two eggs during the day, plus two today so far!

Isn't this just picture postcard cute.

Not all mine - just the little ones on the right, but all great friends having a lovely day out, feeding the ducks, picnicing and generally just chilling on another great day with great friends.

Mountstewart Craft Fair

Last weekend I packed up all my stuff and set off for the Grand Garden and Craft Fair at Mount Stewart - an amazing National Trust property which we are very lucky to have almost on our doorstep.

My area comprised two tables with all my bunting, aprons, bags and a few chickens and I have to say, it is only when you do a show like this that you start to appreciate how many things you have made. Saturday wasn't a great day for me - but Sunday was fantastic and the bunting was pretty much cleared our. Lots sold and lots of complimentary feedback and leads.
