In the past few months both Pip and I have been busy with all sorts of projects. I've spent quite a bit of time in my outside work room and made a selection of placemats, aprons and bunting for friends. I've also been busy making bunting to sell in my folksy shop which will be resurrected over the next week or so 😊.

Pip has been busy at her desk creating all sorts of funky images ❤️. She has a distinctive design and either devises her own designs or tweaks a standard image with her own interpretation 😊
Pip's friend Anna from Interhigh.
During the same trip where we met Eva and family, we also spent the weekend with Anna and her Mum. Sadly we were unable to meet her Dad as he was poorly that weekend.
One of Pip's ace designs ❤️.
I love the whole effect including the clever colour combinations but I think the lace up boots are my favourite part of the whole outfit.
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow up to be.
Thanks also to a really brilliant book called 'The First 40 Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing The New Mother,' I was able to make a big batch of Gourmand Granola and Postnatal Recovery Stew for Kathryn. The stew was so good that I made some for the family and it was the only thing Ben could eat when he had Flu followed by a throat infection a few weeks ago.
Gourmand Granola made with oats, nuts, seeds, shredded and flaked coconut, cocoa, peanut butter and chocolate chips.
