Daddy Sunday

 Hope you all had a lovely Fathers day Sunday. we made this little tin for the special man in our home. With little books that folded out.

Pearl Mogg is off to a Seasonal  Bodkin Lavender workshop in my home tomorrow. Have a look at what Pearl and others will be  making  from Lavender jam to lavender bottles. On Bodkins facebook. Happy sunny weekend everyone what ever you get up too.

Little Red

 A new addition to the shop my Little red broach, and if East Devon is too far I can post you one. Not got around to putting them on folksy yet so you are seeing them first £7.50 each.

Lots of finished Apron Dresses now in  the shop.

Picking Doris and Grans favourite.

The pinks are flowering, We grow the lovely old fashion ones Doris and Grans favourite, scented and last for ages.

Drop Spindle

 My little ball of blended wool made on a drop spindle.

I printed up a new bag design to carry your drop spindle. They are a easy thing to sit on and break so I can now hang mine up.

 Showing off the new bags £ 7.00 each.

They are so portable I love taking mine out.

Pop into the shop on a Wednesday if ever you want a little demo.

Mixing up and carding my colours.  Any other drop spindle fans out there?

 Tea to welcome our crafty folk.

 This lovely lady is holding up her flapjack. They are made every week for the Bodkin workshops by my son who is paid for doing this and doses a marvellous job. I then wrap them. I love wrapping things and choosing nice pictures for them. I made up some drift wood tea labels for when we are busy with different teas on the go. I try to always bring some fresh flowers along, we grow pinks on our allotment for this. but more on 'Doris' in a mo.

Down to the making.

This picture is to show off our pinks theses are 'Doris' and highly scented. My garden is not connected to my home but one street away. So I like to have cut flowers in my home and take them to the workshops.

 With so many good workshops out there I am hoping the little things will add up. To give everyone a very special morning.

 Everyone concentrating hard.

More tea and Flapjacks.

 Broaches we were making.

 

Thanks ladies for a perfect crafty time hx

Plant of the moment.

 Nectaroscordum or Allium Siculum some times called honey garlic. Its flowering at the moment. Its a bulb and I love it.
