Hello! I hope you've had a good week.
The big news around here is that Keira turns 13 today… 13! It feels a bit strange… mostly good, of course. It's lovely watching her grow older and adventure out into the world more and more with each passing year. But I found myself going through her baby things and photos last night and feeling amazed that her childhood was drawing to a close already. It really is true, that thing about parenting being made up of long days and short years.
One of the things I found was this little green hand-knitted hat that she wore as a toddler. It was made by Cosette , a good blog-friend at the time and I think we did a swap and I made her a bag of some kind.
The funny thing about this blog is that I've been writing it nearly forever, and so I was able to find a post where K's wearing it, aged three or so.

I'm still enjoying patching my fabric scraps together… this week I made some knitting project bags, small pouches and a mat all from leftover fabrics. Actually I think I might use them all up soon. Never thought I would reach that point.
And then on the weekend, I found a few glorious hours to work on my hand-stitched hexagon quilt, and listen to an audiobook (I chose I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.) That combo is something I would recommend to anyone! Particularly those who enjoy some quiet making and listening time.

Other things I've been enjoying this week:
The beautiful flower farm at Foxs Lane
Doing a small bit of preserving in the form of chutney (more on this next week)
Listening to the new album by Slowdive (their first in 22 years!)
