What we've been up to

Well in the last few weeks, we haven't been up to much at all. With the wet and miserable weather and illness, we've mostly been pottering around at home playing with playdoh, painting and reading. I'm still enjoying working my way through my Jean Greenhowe book. It's really addictive and I spend most nights knitting. T loves watching me and is desperate to learn. I can't wait till she's old enough and I can teach her.

My latest creation is this snowman. She hasn't seen it yet as it's gone in the bag with her other christmas presents. I've just started on a Santa that I'm going to give her christmas eve. I'm really pleased this year that because of things I've made, bought or traded from the Green Parent Forum LETS, she's going to have a lot of handmade goodies. I love handmade goods, I think I appreciate them more beacause of the time, though and effort that goes in to them. My sister in law used to do cross stich and she made us a beautiful sampler as a wedding present. I love it as it's unique and something we can pass down to T when she's old enough and hopefully she can pass it on to her kids. It was just so much nicer than a bought gift.

I've been inspired by all the talented ladies on the GP forum so I'm taking part in the seasonal swap and for the first time creating my own seasonal table. I hope the person I'm sending my creation to likes it. I'll post some pics when we create our winter table.
