Finding sunshine

Isn't it so important to make the most of the bits of sunshine at this time of year.

Yesterday was another of those lovely sunny days that we seem to be being blessed with this winter (in amongst all the rain of course).
Truth be told, we were all feeling a little grumpy and tired yesterday, after Isla was up for almost 5 hours on Saturday night! No idea what was going on there! And then Aaron had to leave us, for another night away, the second time in the last week.

But you know, it amazing what a little sunshine can do for the spirits :). We made ourselves some muesli slice (which I won't share the recipe of because it didn't work so well, it was rather crumbly, but tasted nice all the same), and a pot of tea, and had ourselves a little picnic, out in the new house extension. There is still a wee way to go to finish our extension, but it is almost closed in from the weather, and we are getting a taste of the nice sunshine we can expect from the big windows - so we have been spending quite a bit of time out there, in amongst the sawdust and bits of wood and paint splatters :)

And that pretty thing we are sitting on? It is my finally finished 'beach-blanket-to-go' from Handmade Home. It hasn't yet been used on any grass or sand, but it certainly will, soon, as soon as the warm weather returns to the south again. Yes I can forsee that it will be seeing a lot of grass and sand this coming summer.
