9/52










  • So, March has started and despite the rain for most of today I noticed some wet primulas beaming their yellowness saying look at us, look at us. This pleased me as I am so very fed up with all the grey and gloom. I think I saw the sun for about half an hour this week.
  • My latest knitting project started on Monday eve. I thought I'd knit up an aran yarn beanie for my chilly cycles, but it looks like its going to be too small for my BIG* head! So, frustrating, but I want to finish it and will be giving it to the lovely S whom I work with. She cycles a lot and I think will like this beanie.
  • Playing with brooches and badges,making wee little statements on my clothing this week.
  • My new treat to myself book from Made in Hastings. This is going to be my book of lists inspired by Pip Lincolne from Meet me at Mikes.
  • Broken plates for my mosaic making day on 9/3/13
  • A 50p square of embroidered cotton to add to my pile of fabric for my Spring pathwork duvet cover plans
  • A new brown leather belt. I haven't bought a belt since 2000 and have been waiting for this beauty to appear in my life. I only have one belt ever and so my old (eeek... studded believe it or not) black leather belt will be in a charity shop tomorrow.

 How has your week been?
I've been very sleepy, but now feel I'm back into the routine of work again. Its been a busy and informative week at work.

Thank you for all your comments,
I read and enjoy each and everyone of them.

 Wishing you some awe and wonder this weekend
See you all soon

 * I have a rather large head and when I graduated from University I had to have a mortar board dusted off from the downstairs storage room in the shop where we hired them from!!!

    Lots of lovely things, especially the pretty, cheery yellow....we've also had lots of grey, cold, gloom...roll on sun and warmth.

    I too have a good sized head, as do my three boys!

    I was thinking about you earlier today, as I made a milk tart for my hubby on request, we had some for tea and although it was very yummy it was not 'like his mum's I notice there is a massive variance in the recipes, so I'll try another soon, and hopefully hit the right one.

    I'll happily add my name to your big head list! I struggle to find hats that pull down enough to stay on my head on a breezy day.
    Lovely photos.

    Love your notebook....I like making lists too...just the act of writing things down is pleasing. And that little embroidered flower is beautiful. I am longing for milder weather now....dying to get my bike out ( not brave like you, I' m afraid). In the meantime, I am walking everyday. The dampness is doing crazy things to my hair though! :)
