Spring colours
















I absolutely love this time of year!  It's not just because the nights are lighter and it's a bit warmer...it's mainly to do with the fact that all my favourite colours are everywhere!


Pretty spring flowers in the garden, in the shops and in my kitchen have been making me so happy lately.


I adore fresh pastel shades and have been enjoying working on a new project with pretty colours from the Stylecraft Special DK range.  I also made a cute little egg cosy (we'll just ignore the fact that I have never eaten and will never eat, a boiled egg!) in pretty pink cotton. The pattern for this little cosy is by Kate from the lovely Just Pootling blog. Link in my sidebar.


Those little sugar coated mini eggs have been tempting me a bit too much lately...I just can't resist them! Little Miss and I made some chocolate cornflake nests at the weekend with them and they were so delicious.


The sun has been shining all day today and it has been so nice to have all the windows open and have the house filled with fresh air. I just ❤️ Spring.

  3. They are some of my favourite colours too. I crocheted a blanket with some very similar. Lovely cheery photographs. I doubt I could have got a picture of the eggs before I'd eaten them. X

  4. Such beautiful spring things in your post today, Marianne. I love those chocolate eggs too. I have a bag in my desk drawer and I just can't seem to keep my hand out of it. :)

  5. Beautiful egg cosy. Your comment about the mini eggs made me smile - I was having some as a sneaky treat whilst waiting for E to come out of school. As I exited the car, she spotted one that I had missed (and subsequently sat on) squashed onto the driver's seat and I was rumbled! xx

  6. I think I'm one of the few people who doesn't like mini-eggs - I prefer my chocolate unwrapped! The egg cosy is so cute. I often see egg cosies that I like but I rarely eat boiled eggs either! Loving the new blanket too. X

  7. You're right, this weather makes you want to cast off drab colours and work with some of the lovely ice cream colours you've shown.
