well part of it - i have not had a walnut whip for years and saw them in M&S the other day! So my treat was a lovely hot, bubbly bath, a cup of tea, chocolate and a book! It was heaven and i stayed in the bath for an hour - came out looking like a lobster, but we won't dwell on that!
Another lovely few hours was spent the other afternoon - when the roads were finally cleared - in Waterstones - there is something about being in a bookshop that makes me very happy - the end result was rather more than the one book i had gone in for!
I also saw the lastest gadget which is called, i think, an E reader/book - i'm sorry but that leaves me cold - the joy for me is in holding a new book, smelling that new book smell and looking forward to diving in! But maybe that's just me!On a different subject! I have found that with all the frantic preparations for christmas, the last minute sewing, knitting, etc, the old crafting mojo was a bit lost! But i have been inspired to get going by looking at some lovely blogs - one of them being Marmalade Rose. So i have been doing at least 20 minutes for the last 5/6 days - mainly crochet
sorry the pic is soo c--p but you get the idea!
I've also finished a wrap that i began last winter - its a variation of a Rowan one, and its made with my favourite yarn - Kidsilk Haze
One project i mean to get started is a baktus scarf - i've seen soo many lovely ones that i feel the need to have a go!Well thats enough waffling for the minute - back to the grindstone!!!

PS ... oh, and your wrap is simply GAWJUS you very clever knitter you!!!!!
Your wrap looks beautifully soft and such gorgeous colours. I couldn't agree more about having a real book in your hands!
You have been busy and deserve a day of pamper. Love your crocheting. Need to get mine out again
Lovely wrap, what is a baktus scarf? Looking forward to seeing what that looks like.
So good that you had a bit of 'you' time, I used to love eating walnut whips the crunch and mess as you take the first bite ;)
The Wrap looks beautiful and the crochet looks fab too!
See ya soon x
Hi Maria - your kidsilk haze shawl is gorgeous! And you'll love knitting a Baktus - they are fab! Keep cozy and warm and enjoy your walnut whips! Lucy xxx
Ooh, walnut whips! I haven't had one of those for years. I did have a Cream Egg bar today though - for research purposes of course. Verdict: couldn't eat more than four without feeling a bit sick!
Ooh, a bath.....haven't had one of those in a while. Not out of poor hygiene (I do shower daily)but I never make the time.
I'm glad to see you've been spoiling yourself a bit. After all that chilly horsey husbandry and husbandy nursing you deserve it :)
