Summer fruits and new dolls

Tweet

Not a view you want to see in the middle of July... But this is Scotland.

At least I've got summer on my plate! It's time to feast upon summer fruit! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries in the morning. Figs, peaches and cherries for lunch. Then you're ready for mango. Finally, we've found out where to get super good mangoes in Glasgow. The Blochairn fruit market is the place to go. 

I'm working on different style dolls. Smaller, with big embroidered anime eyes. It's 17cm (6.5") tall. Definitely more of those are coming. 

This sweet little bear is another new addition to my Etsy shop

Chia seeds

My recent discovery; chia seeds! Called by some "superfood". Those tiny seeds are excellent source of fibre, protein, antioxidants and loaded with omega-3s and omega-6s. You can add them to anything: soup, salad, stir fry, porridge, ...

 I soak them in some cool water first, then add to my green smoothies! Yum!
I bought my pack in Grassroots Organic. They are also available in Holland and Barret or iherb.com.

And a little treat ;) Organic raw dark chocolate, dairy free as an encouragement to my vegan Mondays.
