Busy Day


Years ago Sundays, apparently, used to be a day of rest!! Not any more! Am sat on settee feeling cream crackered! Started off at 8ish this morning making sure hubby got up in time to go to golf! Now, is it just my hubby, or is it a man thing , that he has to get me to get him up 'cos he just doesn't hear the alarm!
Anyho, breakfast followed, then getting horses in, feeding, haying, poo-picking - quick change and then rode my mare, rthen went out on my bike with Em and her horse Pye, lovely ride round the village - few hills, couple of stops to get my breathe back and off again! Finally went on a shortish walk whilst Em rode the naughtly little chestnut pony - he's soo spooky he manages to frighten himself! Lunch was a very quick snack, then i decided to have a quick tidy up- only got as far as the sewing room and got sidetracked!
Have various little piles of fabric for projects on the go- at the moment am working on Summer Sadie's neighborhood swap - my blocks are all cottages

have done 5 so far - some embellishing left to do and then on to the next four!

Next i decided to make some scones for tea later - well they have not made it that far - about an hour ago they were spotted!

and then they were, nearly, all gone!

Finally, before i sat down, i popped out into the garden and picked some daffs - i love it when i can just pick flowers from my own garden - roll on summer and sweet peas! However the fressias are giving out a heavenly scent which is lovely!

Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

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!
