This time last week we went on a little family adventure to Lyme Regis, and it was so much fun watching Emilia toddle around. She only really started walking a week before Christmas aged 17 months, despite having been standing strongly since about 9 months! The childminder kept saying she thought it would be soon....for 9 months 😂. But once she braved it, she was off and now she is confidently walking everywhere and even running to try and keep up with her little friends. I was a bit worried for a while there, but it has taught me to trust her, everything when she is ready. I also loved that she looked a little bit like a tiny fisherman in this woolly hat, which is the only one we have found we can keep on her since it does up under the chin! Here's to more family mini-adventures in 2019. Maybe Whitby next weekend?!
New year, new view. We finally hung this mirror I made nearly two years ago from offcuts of mouldings and architrave in the hall where I always imagined it. And I absolutely love it. It reflects light from the window opposite down the long dark hallway, and the colour, selected long before the hall paint, works really well I think. And it cost me nothing to make, compared to around £180 to buy a similar one I saw in Cox&Cox. ☺
