Hello friends.  I wanted to design something quick and easy, that would make a great Mother's Day gift and after making a pair of boot cuffs as part of a weekly CAL on Ravelry, I thought I would have a go at designing my own.  You all know how I love a granny square and putting the two together, I came up with these super cute Granny Boot Cuffs.  Then it occured to me, "why have only one Mother's Day gift idea?", so instead we will be having a mini series of patterns coming out over the next few weeks, so make sure you are subscribed and don't miss out on any posts. As always an ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work...

Hello everyone.  I have another recipe to share with you today.  This is a family favourite of ours, Little T particularly loves it.  As some of you know we have an allotment, where we grow our own fruit and veg.  For those of you over the pond who may not know what an allotment is, it's a small plot of land rented from either a private landlord or by the local council.  It's a great way to get outside and grow your own food and you get to meet lots of lovely people too.  We live in a very small flat and so with no garden of our own, our allotment is our little outdoor space. In the autumn we harvested many, many winter squashes.  These store over the winter really well and will last until around March or April.  It's about this time of year that I start to process any of the squash that we have left for storing in the freezer.  I simply boil, mash and freeze.  You can use any kind of winter squash or pumpkin for this recipe, so if you don't grow your own, most s
