Hello! Another week has flown by. This time of year everything seems to speed up. Days have been busy, a combination of garden, baking, crafting and the usual household chores. Making: Finished off some tea cosies with cute buttons and pompoms. Tested a crochet pattern for a gift idea. It is really big so I'll need to rejig it to make it a better size. It's for a gift so I'm keeping mum about what it is for the moment. Two batches of Gardener's Soap made and ready to be wrapped. Started putting together card in a box kits. Baking: Meat pie using a little leftover pasta sauce and pastry scraps. Bread for lunches. Foccacia for lunches. Five kilos of tomatoes from the freezer cooked down to make sauce. Growing: Planted more lettuce and beetroot. Fed the garden with compost tea. Picked rosemary to dehydrate, it smells divine. Picked broccoli from the garden. Sewing:
Gardener's aprons - I'll pair with a cake of Gardener's Soap. Dish scrubbies. What did you make, bake, grow and sew last week?

I know what you mean about time speeding up! School goes back tomorrow, the last term of the year! I can’t believe how fast time has gone this year, it’s crazy, but yet I seem to say it every year!! This may well be the last year for both my boys, year 12 and year 10, the youngest is looking for a carpentry apprenticeship! That’s definitely going to be a new stage in our lives!
