I returned from work one evening last week to find that G had planted these pretty daisies in our trough planter outside the front door. They make me smile every time I see them....
I received a surprise parcel in the post last weekend and inside was this beautiful bag from my lovely, and very talented, friend Chrissie. I think it might just be the prettiest bag ever! I love it so much, thank you Chrissie...
A pretty bunch of germini which I got in the reduced section of my local supermarket for the grand sum of 75p! They are so bright and cheery. I have put a few in little vases and jam jars around the house, and best of all some on my bedside table...
Rediscovering a forgotten crochet project. I started this blanket in November last year! I was really enjoying making this but then I ran out of some of the yarn I needed to make more granny squares and this poor blanket just got neglected really! Anyway, I was really pleased to find it again and now have the yarn I need to complete it. It also solves my recent dilemma of what to crochet next!
I love unexpected happy things!

The daisies are perfect in that container and lovely to see each day. Your crochet project looks very pretty. I like the red and yellow together for the centre, it of sets the other colours beautifully x

Such lovely things, Marianne! Chrissie's bag is so pretty, what a nice surprise. I remember your squares when you started them, I'm glad you've found your way back to them again. That happens to me too, and then I feel refreshed about working on a project again.
ReplyDeleteLovely happy things, I've just planted two pots of daisies either side my front door, they brighten up my day!
ReplyDeleteHow I wish my hubby would surprise me with a bit of gardening! ;-) I'm so happy that you like your bag, let's promise to meet up one day with our WIP bags full of yarn! I remember those squares - you're gonna make me dig out my hexies now, aren't you? Cxxx
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in the granny squares! If my husband did any gardening I think I would actually faint with surprise!
ReplyDeleteThose daises are so beautiful and your bag from Chrissie is perfect. She is so talented and volley just like you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Your G obviously knows you well :) we were all drooling over that gorgeous bag of Chrissies - it's well-deserved. X
ReplyDeleteYour husband is awesome for planting you some daisies! Hope you get down to some productive granny square sessions now that you've restarted :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Marianne what a lovely post - I think your bag is just perfect and will really suit you. The plants are my favourites as they are so cheerful and lively and I love your crochet - all in all a great post, always a delight to come and visit you Marianne. Big hugs

I love all your unexpected happy things Marianne and how lovely is G to plant those flowers for you. Have a great week.

If only Mr B would plant pretty flowers rather than cut down climbers that I've spent months training up the fence/trellis while I'm at work. Happened on Saturday - still rather cross about it!!! XX
ReplyDeleteForgot the commas, imagine they are there and it will make a lot more sense!!XX
ReplyDeleteI often think the simpler flowers create more impact - they look great in your trough! Very pretty bag too
ReplyDeleteCaz xx
Nothing beats those simple little things that put a smile on your face. Daisies so it for me too :)
ReplyDeleteThat should of course say 'do it'.
