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.
springing up all around me.
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
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.

Oh my !! Otto has grown so much ! It seems like the last time we've seen him, he was only just a puppy... But now... He even poses in an "adult" way ;-) !
ReplyDeletePS love your crocheted spring flowers ! You must have the patience of an angel, to be able to crochet such small fidgety thingies... They are so delicate and pretty !
Thank you Ingrid - yes, Otto's very gorgeous isn't he - he's still a bit of a pickle at times but very, very lovable with it ! K xx
DeleteLots of loveliness but oh my goodness Otto with his legs.......gorgeous ! :)
ReplyDeleteYes - legs are definitely Otto's thing ! K xx
DeleteGorgeous Otto, he's all long legs now. Your flowers are beautiful, I'm not surprised they've been commissioned. Lovely new makes, and nice to see that pile of hearts growing as the big day gets closer. Although you've been busy, it's all good busy I think. I hope you have a good week. CJ xx

DeleteAll of your crochet looks just lovely! I like your garland, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail, I must admit its still making me smile everytime I look at it, K xx
DeleteLots of great things happening in Pootling world then Kate. The wedding hearts are certainly growing in number. How exciting a commission and something for Love Knitting, such a clever lady. Otto is certainly going through his Bambi phase isn't he. How old is he now?
ReplyDeleteYes, you're absolutely right Mitzi about Otto looking like Bambi - he even leaps like a deer when we take him out walking, its so funny to watch. He's nearly 10 months old now. K xx
DeleteCongratulations for being commissioned to hook up some more of your beautiful flowers Kate and I'm looking forward to seeing what you're up to for Love knitting. Glad to see good progress being made on your wedding hearts too. Otto is so handsome! Have a great week. Jane xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane, yes, I am beyond chuffed to be asked to work with LoveKnitting - its all very exciting. More details to come at the end of this week I think,K xx

ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl - yes, I will share all when I know a bit more, K xx
DeleteOh my, isn't he stunning? Should be advertising a really good brandy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes, he has the proud look down to a fine art ! K xx
DeleteLots going on indeed!! I look forward to hearing more about your new projects. Very exciting that you had a commission for your beautiful flowers. I love the picture of Otto, he looks as though he is being all delicate and polite crossing his legs, but I don't suppose that is how he is really! xx
ReplyDeleteNo Amy, you're right - he so isn't dainty and polite - but extremely gorgeous all the same, K xx
DeleteOtto is looking like a young man dog, isn't he? Your garland is so pretty. Good to know you're busy with the things you love to do.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer, I must admit I do like to be a busy bee, K xx
DeleteI missed your spring wreath but wow it's stunning! It sounds like you have lots of exciting things happening at the moment!
ReplyDeleteMarianne x
Thank you Marianne - yes, lots of exciting things going on - I'll keep you posted ! K xx
DeleteWell done getting a commission:) What a lovely idea, flowers in the post! and the packaging is beautiful! LOVE the little cloths hanging on the heart pegs - absolutely gorgeous colours, I'm a sucker for pink and green stripes:) I crochet my own cloths 9to use in the kitchen) and always think they would make lovely gifts, especially if they're made in lovely colours like these:) looking forward to hearing more about the Loveknitting venture! Otto looks very regal - and his bed is much tidier looking than my dog's !!

ReplyDeleteOtto is a handsome boy! I remember when our Labrador Meg was at the 'lanky' stage, it is very sweet! X
