Trying something new....

Hello all, I hope that you've been having a good week? The weather here the last couple of days has been glorious - lots of blue skies & spring sunshine.  As both husband and I were off today I persuaded him that a visit to the garden nurseries might be a good idea (not sure he was quite as convinced), and had a happy hour choosing some plants for the garden. As some are still a little delicate, they've taken up residence in the greenhouse (alongside the tomato plants and sprouting seed trays - not to mention the various pots, watering cans and spiders lol!). But at least I feel I've made a start!  Husband had wandered around the plant nursery with a slightly bored expression - but as a reward for not once uttering the "Have you finished yet?" phrase, I took him for lunch at a lovely little cafe out in the countryside.  As I was in such a generous mood, I even let him pay.....

It's been lovely to have some time off to catch up with a few jobs, meet up with some friends - and also to do some crafting! And I also thought I'd take the opportunity to try something I haven't done before - even though the sensible, logical side of my brain was shouting "No! Not more crafts!", the other, more reckless side, was shouting "Yay! More crafts!".  So I thought I'd try some patchwork and made two cushions.  What do you think?

Finished off with some wooden buttons! 

I'm quite pleased with them for a first attempt - I'm just wondering what to make next! 

And I've been busy with the crocheting - I've got a couple of craft fairs coming up, and so now busy trying to make a good selection of cards and crafty goodies!  At least it all keeps me out of mischief lol! 

I hope you have also enjoyed some Spring sunshine.

Back soon,
