Celebrating 28th yrs of life with a yummy mud cake made by the Boy - so special and scrumptious! Big hugs to family and friends for their love x
Folding and sorting blankets on the rails of our blanket stand, which has certainly been getting a work out this Winter.
Being given my first bouquet of kale - awesome!
Inspired by the talented Dawn of handmadelove, Hanna and I spent hours painting all of the foods we have eaten over the past week. It was fun, although it proved an astounding numbers of cuppa's are being consumed daily. Is 5 to 7 cups a day ridiculous? Perhaps decaf should be bought from now on....
Discovering how delightful Windsor & Newton blank indian ink is when used with a steel quill. Heaven.
School holidays are soon over and my head is flooded with maths lesson ideas, homework contracts, phonics and finally some knitting classes (something I have wanted to do with my Yr 5/6s all year). As it happens I can't knit well at all, most of the kids in my class can... so I guess they will be teaching me lol
Oh what a fantastic idea to use a towel rail as a blanket stand! I see lots at car boot sales and never pick them up as we don't need a towel rail - I do now for all my blankets!!
