The jumper board was an early Christmas present from my OH.  He nearly died when it arrived and looked like a bundle of sticks.

Yes it is a stoat that a friend made for me.

All the hats were given out as presents so no pictures sorry.

3 days but I was not doing much apart from routine jobs and outings.
