Colour all the way ...

 

 ♥

 

Ooooh - I have so many exciting little projects to show you but

I just have to be patient for a little bit longer ....

I cannot spill the beans just yet.

 

 

 It's safe to say though that there has been colour involved -

I know !

Quite unlike me with my greys and taupe's,

but I am loving it.

It's really very true that it's quite invigorating to step outside of your

little box every now and again.

 

 I just have to show you this little bag of loveliness though -

I am quite head over heels with these gorgeous little pompoms.

I will come back to these and explain all, I promise !

 

Yup, more colours -

both pastels ...

 

... and brights.

 

 

 

But one thing I can definitely tell you about is what I am working on right this very minute .

Having got a little stuck making Spring flowers

I discovered a really sweet  pattern over at Little Woollie and suddenly an idea sprung up ...

a little Spring blossom tree for Easter.

 

I'm not completely sure that it will work out as beautifully as it looks in  my head

 but I'm certainly going to give it a good try.

Lovely things ...

 ♥

This weekend has been a weekend packed full of lovely things ...

... an early Mothers Day supper at Meg's on Saturday evening

... Breakfast all laid out and waiting on Sunday morning

... 3 truly lovely cards, each with the sweetest of messages inside

... a family tea at ours for my Mum, with my sister, 

one of my brothers and their families

... THE most delicious chocolate cake made by Beth and Immi

... the arrival of some printed ribbon that I ordered online last week

... and all of it topped off with a little weekend crochet.

I am a v v happy and v blessed Mummy.

Lots going on ...

  ♥

There's been so much going on down Pootle Alley this week that I hardly know where to begin!

Well, no, I do actually -

I have to start by saying the most enormous thank you for all of your wonderful

comments on my Spring garland. Thank you so much -

I totally love this big old bloggy world and all the encouragement and

positivity that is out there.

Thank you xx

 

 

  Busy number one this week has been a little commission that came my way

when I was asked to hook up some more spring flowers,

 

 

and within a couple of evenings another miniature garden was
springing up all around me.

 

 

  This weekend it has been carefully packed into a little cardboard box and will

be sent on its way to the Big Smoke tomorrow -

 

 

  

a bit like The Chelsea Flower Show really,

 but on a teeny, tiny scale !

 

Busy 3 has been me catching up with some very long overdue Spring

cleaning in the dusty corners of my Blog space ...

I have finally, finally got around to getting my Tutorial and Pattern Sidebar

up to date, and at long last several more blankets have been added to the list,

as well as all the details of my Daisy, Autumn and Spring Garlands -

ooh and there's an updated piccy of me to boot.

 

Busy 4, 5 and 6 have all involved some fun things that I have been working

on for  Loveknitting's exciting new venture that is coming very soon ...

 

 

No words I'm afraid,
 just a few pictures
 - as my lips are sealed for a tinsy bit longer !

All in all the week seems to have sped by while all around everything seems
to be shooting up and growing,

from my pile of Wedding hearts
 

 

to the flower beds in the garden,



 

 to a suddenly very lanky and leggy Otto.

 

Have great week everyone.
