Weekend Stuff

Apart from having my nose stuck in a book most of the weekend, I did actually manage to get up to some other stuff, because let's face it - life does go on.............even if the book in particular is very, very good.

Anyhow, on top of all that book reading - which I haven't quite finished......... yet (almost though, almost) I did manage to get down to the last round (and ball of wool) on my round and round the Summer Granny Square blanket - just that and the loose ends to sort out now, then I'm done - just as it starts to get warm, phew!

And a bottle of this found hidden at the back of the larder went down a real treat. Summer tastes - divine!


Birthday colouring on Sunday - I am never that organized!


The most striking and gorgeous colour of potted flowers now adorn the dinning table - I can never remember the name of plants.

For a country gal I am useless - I know!


And I've also been dreaming of Easter...


...chocolate cake,


colourful mixing bowls, crockery and........


long lazy days on the beach!


Whilst the smell of hyacinths and,


baking bread infused the house.


And finally.............I managed to make a start on a project I should of made ages ago - can you guess what it's to be, or should I say 'supposed to be?'


So all in all a bit of a mish mash of a weekend but very productive nonetheless - a little homely, but very much enjoyed by one and all.

Have a super start to the week and officially (yes sirree) the start of Spring!

xXx

Wow Nina, can't believe you've nearly finished the blanket. Can't wait to see it.

Not much of a flower name person either, but I know I really like those ones and can never find any. Then I remembered a C.Living article all about them - auricula's I think they are.

Isn't the air, just cleaner and almost sparkling now we're in Spring. Joy.
