The skirt I am making in sewing class is this close to completion! It is the (very) basic A-line summer skirt from Amy Butler's Midwest Modern Barcelona Skirts range, made up in a Freespirit quilting fabric, Darla by Tanya Whelan. I feel like a sack of spuds in it but perhaps I might feel differently by next summer!?!

What's Hot
We've just collected our second Bookstart pack from the libary. This is such a great scheme which promotes books by encouraging babies and pre-schoolers to look, feel and (eventually) read books. You're never too early to start turning a page! Our latest pack has a numbers theme and includes two great picture books about counting, a numbers frieze for the wall and a book of plain paper with crayons (which were used immediately!)
Another book we have been reading is Millie's Marvellous Hat by Satoshi Kitamura, which we borrowed from the library. It is a little advanced for a two year old but my little girl is captivated by the pictures. The story covers the themes of kindness, imagination and endless possibilities.
What's Not
Even more rain!
A lack of natural light for photo-taking.

A yummy bowl of ramen, eating from a beautiful bowl snaffled up at a car boot sale
Looking forward to meeting up with a great friend to see this exhibition
What's Not
A two year old that thinks she doesn't need a lunchtime nap
Bleak, rainy, windy, dark November days
