Back to normal

Well the decorations are down, the house is back to normal and my husband is back at work tomorrow after being off all over christmas. It's been a nice christmas this year and we've been able to spend a lot of time together so that's been really nice. We had a very cold walk around Dunham Massey (a local national trust house and estate) and had a great time, T seemed to be really taken with the stick that she'd found














I was really pleased with the number of handmade present that T got and she really seemed to love the knitted strawberry doll, Father Christmas and Snowman that I made for her.

I made my first batch of mince pies and they actually turned out ok. I'm a diaster in the kitchen so I really surprised myself and my first few loaves from the breadmaker were lovely as well. I think I'm going to be baking quite a few things now and am developing a baking obsession to go alongside my knitting one.

Thanks Rachel.

I'm really glad you and Jake liked them. I really enjoyed making them. I'm getting a bit obsessed with making toys, not that T needs anymore but there are loads of things I want to have a go at.
