Well there’s not much going on in the garden at the moment, so I’m taking some time to enjoy the snow and plough ahead with my knitting.
Our little craft shop, started off as a fun hobby. But with the pandemic and multiple lockdowns, we have really come to rely on it. It keeps us busy and gives us something positive to focus on, especially spending so much more time at home. So to all our friends, followers and customers, who support and encourage us ... Thank you so much, it really means the world to us.
With knitting in mind, I’ve managed to finish two more of my reflective hats. I’m completely sold on them and when we tested them out, were amazed at how reflective they actually are. They work really well ... so now I’m on the hunt for more colours. So far we have one each in pink, green and purple, with an orange one hopefully finished later this afternoon. Fingers crossed ... If you’d like to take a look, they are all available through Folksy and on our website.

With Scotland in full lockdown again, my heart breaks for all those affected by Covid, and for all the sadness in the world at the moment. Please know we’re thinking of you all and sending love. Honestly I don’t think I can listen to the news anymore, it’s dragging me down. For me, when things get to much, I head to my garden ... So ... I’m taking some time today to set up 3 trays of microgreens ... radish, kale and broccoli.
Alongside our aerogardens, we’re able to grow fresh produce all year round. Makes this Mum so happy.
On a brighter note, we’ve had some beautiful frosty mornings here and now snow forecasted all day tomorrow ... very exciting.
We also managed to add some finishing touches to our holiday let cottage. So here’s a quick peek at one of the bedrooms.
Anyway, please be kind and stay safe, we’ll get through this in the end ... And a big thank you, to all our NHS staff and frontline workers. Words are not enough ... :) Xxx
