Etsy Store

I have just launched my Etsy Store, having added a few items that I have made. I will be adding more as I make them so please come back and visit it often!

Pottery

The twins have been having pottery lessons where they live in Devon, for about as long as they could walk. Now Gilby has joined them and it looks like he's really enjoying himself. 

And Grandpa's studio is a magnet for little potters!

Does She think She's Helping?

Just trying to get some cutting out done!

and wondering what to do with these little beauties? 

Sunshine

I've been getting on with a few Etsy makes ready for my on line store launch, here is a selection. A couple of baby blankets and Cath Kidston feeding cover and bib.

But now the sun is shining I think I may step outside with a cuppa and my Kindle :) 

Uncles

Last week Ben and his friends visited Devon and caught up with the twins and this week Dominic and Alice are there...as my daughter described the photo's.....Another weekend, another harassed Uncle' looks to me like they are enjoying the harassment!

It doesn't seem like Gilby is getting much attention but you can be sure he will be :)

 

Gifts

While away we went to visit my nieces new baby girl, I made her a crocheted blanket out of natural cotton yarn and a liberty print bib.

Today is my friends birthday so I made her a tea towel from toile de jouy fabric and knitted her a cotton dishcloth, I bundled them up with a wooden scrubbing brush

 

I managed to visit a few sewing shops while away on holiday, this is one of my purchases...a pack of Moda solids. Thinking I may make a baby quilt for my Etsy shop

Devon Grandchildren

As I said, I would be soon posting photo's of the grandchildren. We had a lovely time hanging out with them. In the park, in the garden, on the beach...... there is a great play park in Kingsbridge, which is a lovely little town, near to where they live, at the end of the Kingsbridge Estuary. The park has recently been revamped, great wooden climbing equipment and a safely enclosed area with swings etc and sand pit with water tap ;)

I know what all you grandma's are thinking....get that hair tied up!

 Keeping an eye out for some twin boys who weren't being particularly friendly!

 Too busy to get out of their pj's

 Loving the pebbles

Summer Flowers

I love to just snap flowers as I see them, I'm not a great gardener so I really appeciate flowers that others have grown or those I see growing wild.

Summer 2012

We have had a great holiday, spending time in Devon, Cornwall and Sussex. Below are some of the beautiful places we visited. You will of course notice that there are no grandchildren in any of these photo's but I can assure you they will follow soon ;)
