Three Good Things

New yarn! I love the colours of this Stylecraft Special DK together, they remind me of Neapolitan ice cream... A friend has asked me to make a cot blanket for her 16 month old wee girl and doesn't mind if it's knitted or crocheted or what the style is, only that the colours match the nursery. So a little bit of artistic license for me here! I have a pattern in mind and as I've been doing lots of crochet recently, I plan to knit this blanket for a change. I'm going to make a start on it tonight whilst I watch Twilight on DVD...

A new magazine, Prima Spring Makes bought for me by G a few days ago. This magazine is just so lovely! There are lots and lots of beautiful projects in it, many of which I am planning to make! I so enjoyed looking through this magazine today with a cup of tea whilst it was miserable outside, lots of prettiness and inspiration...

Making banana loaf with Miss M after school today, it has been a perfect day for a little baking actually. The recipe can be found here. I enjoyed a slice (with butter, you have to have it with butter!) with a cup of tea after dinner this evening...

Thank you for the lovely comments on the little baby blanket - they are very much appreciated. Happy weekend to everyone and thank you for visiting my little space here :)

    I think I'll have to look for that magazine in the supermarket tomorrow. And the cake looks delicious. My house smells of cake at the moment as I've been making my daughter's birthday cake ready for decorating tomorrow. x

    Butter on banana bread...it's so obvious, but we've never tried it! But I guarantee we will before the weekend's out, I have some bananas teetering on the edge of over ripeness...and your photo just makes it too tempting! Chrissie x

    I love the look of all of these. I really like all the great crafting mags in the UK at the moment. I really must try and persuade some one to send me a copy of the prima one though- it looks exciting.

    Happy weekend. I love buying magazines too, new and vintage. So many ideas, so little time, good opportunity to day dream about what I would love to make if only life didn't keep getting in the way. One has to dust sometime ;-)

    The sight of that lovely banana cake gets my taste buds going, and I think the lovely shades of yarn make me hungrier still - oh this yarn addiction is so hard to live with isn't it!
    Looking forward to seeing the progress on your blanket - it's sure to be beautiful!

    I adore the colours you've chosen for the blanket. Neapolitan ice cream indeed, how wonderful!

    I like butter on my banana bread too. And honey. Yum. x
