Mr Mouse and a few more nests

 I thought my drain pipe was looking a little cold.

 Yes more nests by me, and they are for sale, but I'm guessing you clever people out there can make them. If not may be a nest making workshop?



Tea, Cake and Workshops at home




 Look what we made today.
 


 


 
My Kitchen is a bit of a miss match more like mrs Weasleys home in Harry Potter in facted I think I'm a cross between mrs weasley and mrs petter pot, if you remember the book.

Catkin and Reed Angels

This Workshop in May is my special Spring one, we will be making a woollen angel, hand carding wool and I will also show you how to use a drop spindle.  So if you are free on Saturday 10th of May we would love to have you. I will be offering a free place very soon. If you live to far away do still try the completion  as you could win either  Catkin or Reed Angel.
