Impromptu bread making often leads us onto random conversations. I'm not even sure what exactly prompted the discussion! Still, it was interesting albeit brief! Milly had made a lovely plait and Hettie has enjoyed employing her knowledge of the human digestive system by creating a pooing man! Minutes after setting their beautiful Focaccia to the side to prove they opened a variety pack of paper from the lovely old Miller's Stationers. It's sadly closing down now so they're are lots of bargains. Hettie has started copying out a poem from Stitch Head for her friend and Milly is designing and making book marks.
From our initial thoughts on this subject to the very frank and honest quality moments on our journey in raising Home Grown and Free Range Children

Milly's Homemade Pyjama Trousers
With the careful guidance of our fabulous friend, Milly managed to piece together a pair of scrummy PJ Trousers. Jules brought a delightful book round with a fab pattern in it for Milly to try. Previously, I had found, unopened and new, a pack of bedding. Candy stripe brushed cotton. Ooooooooh sooo soft!
And Ta-Dah! With help from Jules, engine power from Milly with the sewing machine and a tad of crappy finishing off from me (I'm NOT that good OR fussy/neat) a gorgeous pair of PJ Trousers. And... a very VERY happy Milly. XX
Hettie: "Have you made me a pair too?"
Me: "Errrrrr... not yet!"
Operation 'PJ make'... starts tomorrow then!
