I'm glad it's February

One month closer to spring and our last month of winter.  The daily walk is very enjoyable - at least half an hour a day, and some longer ones interspersed.  We have sunshine today, so I had best get out quickly!

Here is yesterday's half and half loaf (using a tasty seeded wholemeal flour and white organic).  I was watching For What It's Worth on tv and nearly forgot it so it had an extra 5 minutes baking time and is very crusty!

When I was in the Range recently, I couldn't resist these beautiful little butterfly labels which I will be using for pricing the smaller items in my Fleamarket stock.  The necklace kit I got with the idea of making stitch markers, but it hasn't worked out - the nylon thread doesn't tuck away neatly.  Ah well, I'm sure I'll put the beads to good use.

I am finally nearing the end of this table runner.  I did some stitching on it when I was on the train down to Hampshire recently which was a mistake as I shall have to unpick and restitch most of what I sewed as the light wasn't very good (I work under a blue daylight bulb at home) and trains are bumpy!  I have some maroon bias binding in the post to me from Fleabay and am just turning under and hemming the edges.  It was much bigger than I realized and has taken a lot of work.

Other than that, not a great deal happening here.  A Fleamarket later in the month to sell at, and the first Malvern for us since October - I have been having terrible withdrawal symptoms this last week or two.  It is always such an enjoyable day out for us.

Right, this won't do.  I have some baking to do (a Blueberry and Banana cake and biscuits) and I need to clean the kitchen as we have friends round for coffee and cake tomorrow.
