Ava Bradley arrived just a few days late but complete with a full head of black hair looking just like her mum when she was born. Time to get cracking with the present for her!! This is called a Farandole and is featured in the Tilda easter pattern book. It took a bit longer than I thought to make it but I think it was worthwhile - I also changed the layout slightly so the rabbits are all a bit different. I'm making a second one already as there seem to be babies due all over the place and one of them is bound to be a girl!!
Its also been a busy time in the kitchen with all the garden produce ripening - I found a recipe for Courgette Chutney on the internet so spent Sunday morning making a double batch as well as pickling red cabbage and making pizza and chocolate trifle to take to a friend's birthday party that evening.
I found some huge preserving kilner-type jars at a junk shop so am now looking out for pickling onions (not something that is popular here in France) in preparation for Christmas - now there's a sobering thought!!
