This is a blanket made for Blue Light Babies, a group aiming to provide every frontline ambulance in the UK with little hats and blankets, especially for babies who are born under the blue light as they arrive in the world before arriving at the hospital.

Knitting and Pencil Sharpener

I’ve made another little hat for Blue Light Babies in a gorgeous soft multicoloured baby wool. I have a blanket nearly finished but that takes much, much longer.

I’ve had another go at my Mindfulness colouring book which is quietly therapeutic. When we were in London in July, I bought myself a fabulous five hole pencil sharpener from the RA shop. With it I can sharpen pencils of five different sizes! I have been a stationery geek ever since I was a little girl, just loving each September when I could get my new pencil case and contents for the new school term. I had that joy throughout my teaching career too!
