My creative Space.

With one week to go until the end of the school year, I am crocheting washcloths and flower brooches for teachers' thank you presents. I am adding a bar of gorgeous Cleopatra soap to make each package smell delicious too
.
This Tulip Stitch washcloth pattern is from here.

I am putting the finishing touches on my softies. I am hoping to sew them a zippered pouch when Pepper has her sleep today and get them in an express post pack this afternoon.

I have taken delivery of two boxes of stale organic Himalaya Bakery bread.

I am slicing, toasting, crumbling and then toasting again to make bread crumbs.

I hope this Thursday finds you full of inspiration.

    Wow, what a mix of things you have going on there! Just don't get it muddled up and process your softies and mail the bread! Have a good day.

    What I love about your blog and what you do is the variety - I feel like I'm standing still compared to you! What happens to all of the bread crumbs? Schnitzel festival?

    Those are a lot of crumbs! Love the softies. One of my favourite softie styles around. Great idea for the teacher's gifts. I've bought soap as well but no homemade washcloths yet to compliment them. xox m.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
