Gilby Skipp

I just had to steal these photo's from my daughters blog. Taken on our visit to Petersham Nurseries

Sharing Grandpa's cake

Is anyone watching as I pick this flower?

Pacifier/Dummy Clip

I will be trying out lots of ideas over the coming weeks of products to consider selling in my Esty shop. Here is one my daughter suggested, a crochet dummy/pacifier clip. I have made this out of organic cotton yarn, adding a button for decoration.

Passion

This is a bit of a cop out of writing a post I know, but please go and read my daughters post...not because of what she writes about her parents ;) but because I love her passion and how she writes about what God has called her to do

At the moment their life is tough...no hot water, no oven (and she loves to bake) no washing machine and no internet in their property....can you imagine? I know I couldn't live that life and I know that she would say that without God's grace she couldn't either. She will be home at the end of the month for a week and she bake to her hearts content, I cant wait :) Sadly without the rest of the family. But we are praying that they will all be here for Christmas

Next Step

For the past three years I have been working two jobs, administrator for the church and one to one support to a school boy. As the boy will be moving up a school in September that job will come to an end in July. My daughter has been telling me to set up an Esty shop and bought me the books below for my birthday, they are great, one all about setting up an Esty shop, one about how to take photo's on on line creations and the third is about how to sell crafts globally and on line. So watch this space, hopefully I will have an Etsy shop set up by September!

While returning from Petersham Nurseries near Richmond I stopped to visit this great patchwork shop, Tikki Patchwork and bought myself a lovely bundle of fat quarters.

Photo Shoot

I tried to get the girls to pose for photo's wearing their new skirts, not easy for them to keep still so all a bit blurred. Better result with the rainbow blankets, they were tired out and in fact Primrose had fallen asleep!

London Trip

Half Term has been busy with family visiting, a trip into London on Saturday to meet the boys (Alice was working). First was a visit to Violet at London Fields, for coffee and some yummy cakes. Then onto London Fields Park and down through the market checking out the vintage stalls. Loved the crochet blankets!

Rainbow Blankets

I have finished the rainbow blankets for the twins...just in time as they arrive tonight. The one with pink trim is for Primrose, the blue trim is for Maggie. All neatly folded on their bed ready. I am hoping that Gilby is still a little too young to notice that he doesn't have one.
