Colourburst...
A welcome burst of ...colour... ...pretty tulips spreading happiness from my dear SIL... (heralding the beginning of a wonderfully colourful week) ...we all enjoyed afternoon tea too...everyone together... it was a lovely day :-)... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
made from Mary's book....an all time favourite... it's a really quick and easy recipe which freezes well too and is wonderfully moist and tasty..x ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I brightened up one of the walls in the craftroom too ...
...hoops with fabric scraps and embroidery...
every now and again I can swap them around
(birds and flowers are always favourites) ...and added a group of small mirrors...
I made some cords in different
colours of twisted cotton 4 ply to hang them.. (the magic cupboard can just be seen standing on the opposite wall through the mirror there...) Do you remember my drawers?...the Annie Sloan paint is standing the test of time and Mr H painted the wall for me in 'Old White'....it's gorgeously chalky...

♥ tHaNk yOu! ♥ to everyone who sent me a link to the ETSY shop where I finally found a 2.75mm Clover Amour hook which is sitting happily in the sunshine this morning in my blue spotty jug .. and which arrived in just a short few days from across the water (it's the little yellow one :-) )

One of my favourite magazines arrived today too ...also full of gorgeous colour! (there's a lovely 'Spring Lunch' feature by Selina Lake....very pretty!!!) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
If you remember my yarn on the shelves at the beginning of the year
I'm busy now working on a completely new project
....something quite different for me...
it's early days but seems to be going well
and I'll hopefully be able to show you a little of it soon...x

...and lastly... (on a completely different colour note!) the yarn I've chosen for our aran jumper
(which definitely equals cake in my book!)
Virtual Yarns
Hebridean 3 ply in Selkie
(this shade was also used in the Cats and Mice blanket
and so I knew it to be extremely lovely ♥ )
I say 'our' as I'm not sure who will end up being the owner here... :-)
(we may share it..all the ladies of the house have been consulted!
I bought the book a long time ago and this design on the front cover
got the overall vote)
♥ ♥ ♥
It's going to be a project to enjoy picking up when I'm putting my feet up
and it's nice to have a few different kinds of projects to work on...x
