Keeping Busy!

Hello!
Sorry to be so neglectful of managing to get back here to post!
I seem to be up to my eyeballs in markets, workshops and general around home stuff

I am not finding time to sort photos and write! (Or I am wasting time somewhere, which is a distinct possibility.)

I am working Mondays in my friends garden now too! They have a permaculture setup and its really interesting – nice to work outside and learn things 🙂

Above! Basket weaving today was lovely. We were outside with all the great stuff Adele had collected and made wreaths! I kept mine all natural and feel pleased with how it turned out. (Although I am itching to string some fairy lights through it!)

Nice to finish a full project in one session! Usually this is as much as I get done (in between socialising and eating cake)

That basket did get finished! The raffia style is faster than the straight flax

My friend dropped in the pressure washer and I’ve had a bit of a go at it and now want to wash everything in sight!

I just have to get through a few more days of commitments and I’ll be free to pressure wash my little heart out!

(Basically three soap workshops and a market within about a week, flanked by gardening days)(So I am running my tail off!)

Getting a few strawberries. A handful of raspberries too but I ate those before taking a snap

Getting a bit better at the sourdough bread too – although I need to be home to knead it the day before I want to bake it – I did a loaf for a workshop I did at home here for friends and it was very well received (proud moment)

Picked up some flowers from my friend Jude – she gave them to me at the end of the market the other weekend
It was a fab market. Sold really well!

Three of the four apple cucumber seeds I planted have come up

Its 11pm and I’ve just finished making a batch of soap as my demo to let students cut.
The next workshop is on Sunday but tomorrow is a market down at Sisters Beach. Happily its an afternoon to evening market so I will have time to prepare workshop stuff tomorrow morning.
Then later it will be home from the market and repack car with workshop stuff, fall into bed, get up and hopefully do a good job of the workshop!!

After that I’ve not got any more market or workshops scheduled or booked before the end of the year!
Will be time to prepare for family coming in January and pay attention to my garden

I’ll leave you with one soap photo that I was pleased with recently…
Hope everyone is doing well!
Cheers
