This Week

 
 

1. Pretty roses on my kitchen table.

 

2. And on my bedside table.

 

3. Meal planning and recipe book inspiration.

 

4. I decided I really, really wanted a crocheted cherry brooch.

 

5. Lemon drizzle cake - my family appreciate a full cake tin.

 

6. Miss M is loving the current craze for loom bands.

 

7. I have been finding loom band bracelets all over the house!

 

8. I am almost finished Miss M's stripy blanket. Just the edging to do, the part I enjoy most.

 

9. A teeny tiny bloom picked from the garden and displayed in an egg cup.

 

Another week seems to have whizzed by! Honestly, where does the time go?!

 

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend? I was working for most of it so I'm looking forward to some blog reading, crochet and tea this evening!

  2. I have a couple of those cookery books - yet to be drawn out in my challenge. I wish I had a lily of the valley but I think I was a bit over zealous with the lawnmower as they've disappeared! I also wish I had that lovely blanket - such pretty colours. x

  11. I love all your photos-so bright and pretty. I like your cherry brooch. I've made a few and I like wearing mine on my denim jacket. Our family loves lemon drizzle cake too. It's easy to make and so delicious. Miss M's blanket is looking so pretty. She's a lucky girl. Have a lovely week!

  12. Miss M's stripy blanket looks lovely, looking forward to seeing it finished. My little music students keep me up to date on the latest crazes, they're all wearing loom band bracelets and I've even had a demonstration on how to make one. How lovely that such a simple idea can get young minds creating. Have a great week and enjoy this evening's blog catch-up and crochet.

  21. So many pretty things, beautiful flowers, oh I love Spring, gorgeous recipe books to trawl through for inspiration (my idea of fun) and then all those lovely crochet books for inspiration. Your blanket is coming along beautifully and I am loving the colours that you chose. I haven't had lemon drizzle for a while and I suspect it will be a while still, so enjoy! xoxo
