Father's Day

It's Father's Day today and Miss M and I organised a few small, but thoughtful gifts for G...

Miss M drew this picture of G cycling up a hill. She spent quite a while on it, wanting to get it "just right"! We popped it inside a little frame and G was very pleased with it...

A new mug for coffee at work...

We made a batch of "Bounty", coconut and chocolate truffles. G adores coconut and he has already eaten quite a few this morning....

This chocolate and marshmallow fudge we made on Friday night to give to my own lovely dad. (I love the sweet labels Miss M made!). We took it to him yesterday and also helped him to eat it...

Now, as it is Father's Day, G has gone out on his bike for a few hours and Miss M and I are going to spend a relaxing afternoon playing and reading in the garden.

Thank you for the lovely comments about my tea cosy and pattern. I think it probably is a simple enough pattern for a beginner, with the increases being the only tricky parts really.

Back soon with some crochet...

  6. Those chocs look great. When children make stuff it always melts my heart. My girls made Bloke stuffed felt rabbits! He still loved them because they had made them for him. Jo x
