Please excuse me while my unscheduled mini-break from blogging continues. I thought I should take some time to have adventures, rather than just writing about them. I’m getting pretty excited about a few things at the moment. The sewing machine is out, the stash is reducing, the baby is smiling, the two year old wants cuddles and I am reading lots of books even if they are the sort that has lots of pictures.

*the bowls were thrifted gift from a friend who was clearing out their house after the family had lived there for at least 4 generations. As their new house reaches completion, I am busy working on a thank-you/house warming present.
