Birthday gifts and bits


It's been a very busy few days (with a few more to come) but I wanted to show you two of my birthday gifts - a huge basket for collecting/putting things in and a gorgeous handmade bracelet from the gorgeous Claire - thank you very much it's just lovely.


Plum jam made today with the plums I got from my sister's garden. It tastes lovely - quite sharp but sweet as well. These are the plums I still have left to use.



A pile of san pro inners to go in the pockets I'm making. I had to order more poppers as I'd run out.



And finally - the thing I'm very very excited about - my very own website kit. This was recommended by Sarah at paper and string so I went to investigate and thought 'woohooo, I could do that' - so anyway, here it is. Hopefully I'll get to have a play later. Can't wait.

  1. I'm glad you had a nice birthday. I've got basket envy, I just love baskets and can't walk away from them when I see them in charity shops or car boot sales. The two in your photos are very lovely! Beautiful bracelet too!! Looking forward to seeing your website up and running!!
