After what has felt like an incredibly hectic past couple of weeks I've finally had the time to sit and and make use of some of the crafty bits and bobs I've bought over the last few months.

A special engraved birdy wooden peg, maybe he can join the other birds on the washing line

A few mini painted plates...perfect penny sweet size!

An illustration I had published in the Guardian Family section last weekend, all about picking samphire on the beach. If only the weather was good enough to do that kind of thing today!
