Photos from the workshop on Becki Harper’s Facebook page
Highly recommend checking out her illustrations too but you should have figured considering the awesome workshop poster.
Every detail of the workshop kit was designed just so. It was truly a workshop for beginners – with everyone going away with a cute handkerchief.
Walking around our village. The idea for a bird feeder snowman came from the Wild Britain Facebook page.
Two great foods for when you are going to be eating a heavy meal with loads of desserts. Strawberry Santas and Sugar cookies with frosting.

Love this picture from dinner – a great day with family
Spent a really enjoyable day in Manhattan, in which I learned NEVER take the F train on a weekend if you can avoid it. There was a shuttle bus for a bit in the middle of the journey due to construction.
Went to the NY Public Library’s Holiday Open House Party in the gorgeous building on 42nd and 5th. This event is highly recommended for families, as there is music playing, people in festive costumes on stilts, storytelling, facepainting & balloon giveaways.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Lunch Hour NYC exhibition that was on. Catch it until Feb 17. FREE
Here Edward Beller describes the first stainless steel hot dog pushcarts
Getting together with Jocelyn was the perfect excuse to where my cute new customised fringed top from SundayGirl fashion, purchased at the Niamh’s boutique stall at the mima collective shopping event. It’s difficult to spot in the photo but there is black fringe sewn on to the bottom of the top.
Followed by a meal at one of my fave places to eat in NYC – Vynl. Service is always friendly. Food is always delicious and prices are not obscene.
Didn’t get back to Brooklyn too late. Popped in to relative newcomer to Sheepshead Bay YooBerry for yummy, self-service frozen yogurt as a nice belated dessert.
Was way too stuffed at Vynl to contemplate the delicious Oreo-filled chocolate chip cookie served with two small glasses of milk shake – Next time!!
