Pretty Pastels

Enjoying some crochet this morning with a cup of tea and one of my mum's delicious chocolate and coconut cookies. I have started a new blanket! This will not be a quick project and I fully expect it to take me months and months to complete. I am making the spring time throw from Cute & Easy Crochet but all the squares will be pink and white - i am really quite excited about this blanket! I plan to work on these sweet little squares in between other projects...
A pastel posy in my favourite little glass bottle...
Pretty new teaspoons! I have had my eye on these for ages and finally bought them when I was in Glasgow on Saturday. I really, really love them and have been enjoying using them so much. G does not understand this teaspoon love at all and thinks I am completely bonkers...
My current cross stitch...
I made a large version of these for my mum's birthday cake yesterday. I like how pretty the marshmallows look on top of the cake...
I just love pinks and pastels, definitely favourite colours of mine!
 
Thank you for the lovely comments on my shell picture, I really enjoyed reading them all - you are all so kind.
Wishing you all a lovely week...

    Pretty, pretty! I love these soft colors and I would go nuts for those teaspoons too. In fact, I'm a teeny bit jealous. :)

    So pretty. Your cake looks so much more glamorous than my hearty tea Party Tuesday one. I made rhubarb crumble cake - a hearty one instead of pretty. Jo x

    Your new blanket you are making looks lovely, but I'm loving the pretty pastel one that your tea and cookie are sitting on. It's beautiful.
    As for the teaspoons, they are gorgeous, I know exactly how you feel about them.

    Such pretty delicate colours, so soothing to the eyes - and - the marshmallows very tempting to the appetite! Lovely post!

    Looking forward to seeing the finished blanket. I've pretty much abandoned mine having made about 100 squares - not sure the colours are working well together. Will probably join them together and give them to my friend's little girl as a dolly blanket though. Cake looks gorgeous and I have teaspoon envy! x

    So many beautiful sugary colours, reminds me of a big bag of dolly mixtures. I totally understand your love of spoons. I have a love of vintage plates which my other half just doesn't get. I can usually hear him muttering something about not another plate, looks like the rest of them....etc...
    Look forward to seeing your completed blanket. Crochet is something i'd love to learn how to do.

    Everything is so darling in this photo - the crochet squares, the cup with roses, the hooks in a crafty jar, the book (it's on my amazon wish list!) the flowers...
    Love such crafty images :)
