Hoop-la!

Its chucking it down with rain at the moment and so these two have decided to snuggle up on an old quilt!

But its Winnie who seems to having the most fun - playing hoop-la with my quilting hoop! I literally just finished doing a bit of handquilting and put the hoop to the side, popped out to make a cuppa, and when i came back in she had decided to make herself comfortable inside the hoop!

I didn't have the heart to move her!

Beautiful morning!


Just had to share this -such a beautiful morning here - one of those hazy sunshine, birds singing, lovely warm mornings that hopefully there will be more of - although not for a while apparently! It's one of those mornings that actually makes you want to get out of bed - i was going to say leap but its a while since i've done that!!!! So far i've done breakfast,put some washing on, fed the chickens, hayed up the horses and poo picked and taken the dogs for a walk - Lilly was not too impressed at marching round the field this early but a few barking sessions at the pheasants soon cheered her up!


Next its a quick change and am off to meet up with the lovely Trash for tea and cake, and a bit of crochet/knitting!!


Hope you have a lovely day!

Busy bee!!

Goodness its been a busy week! Hope you all had a lovely Mothers' Day! I was lucky enough to receive some scrummy chocs and a dvd - i wanted to see this film when it came out but as usual just didn't get round to it! My eldest son bought me a book token, which he thinks is totally boring, but knows that i love - however he drove all the way over on Sunday afternoon and only when he got out of the car did he realise that he'd left my card and present at home!!! The others are never going to let him forget that one!!

I've spent most of my time, when not doing horse stuff - which in the winter months takes up a lot more time!- flitting between several projects -as usual!
A bit of knitting with my favourite yarn - Kidsilk Haze - i just love how soft and light this scarf is turning out and the pattern is soo easy - which suits me!


Bit of crochet - few more squares to add to the blanket - i'm not sure whether to carry on doing more squares or whether to stop soon and just add some borders - what do you think?


As the weather was lovely i did pop in the garden centre to get some seeds - so love this time of year thinking of all the lovely goodies in the garden - assuming they don't get eaten before we can get them!

Have also been doing some hand quilting on this flannel quilt - am doing a giant daisy in the middle of each square!

And, most importantly, all tasks are carried out with lots of the above!
Well i better at least make an effort at some housework - have a lovely week.
