Spring times, the best time...

Hello hello!!

So excited that spring is finally here!!!-haven't we all waited long enough?! Makes me want to quit work and just be an 'outdoors' person!- of course pimms to be mostly I involved! I've been upto a few exciting things since my last blog...:

1. I got myself a new job in London (yippee big move on its way, full of nerves, excitement... Oh and having to remember to buy milk for myself!)

2. Janette (the original Miss Greenwood) and myself got a little bit crafty with her class full of children with a secret project in mind. This mainly involved us having a vast amount of fun (definitely me) with 5 year olds... Pictures to follow but it's not all finished yet- hope you can guess what it'll be!!

3. And finally, creating a humungus todo list full of everything that I can think of to make for my soon to be new (shoebox) room: a quilt, cushion covers, anything with lavender in, maybe bunting... Ahh the list goes on and is so exciting!!!

So just thought I'd write a small post to share in my excitement!! And will be getting serious on getting my head down and my hook a hooking!!!

Oh yes and I finished the bunting for Janette's spare room and it looks delicious!!!!

Growing obsessions and General Prettifying...

This weekend I once again travelled to the great Richmond city to stay with Janette! We had a vast amount of things planned, as we always do!!... On this particular weekend we planned another visit to the 'Knit and Stitch Show' dreaming of exotic wool, assorted buttons and new ventures we would come across. Unfortunately, Janette became a little under the weather and so we missed this to make her all better- I will here apologise as my nursing skills were quite unsympathetic owing to it being my day off... I did however muster up the energy for a few hot water bottles and some honey tea.

I instead used this time to immerse myself in well earned crochet patterns/ tutorials, bright wool that Janette had bought and grand ideas of how I could decorate her spare room (which I have now for all purposes made my own!!).

Now I am well aware of my obsessive nature and crochet has gradually shot up to one of my all time favourites. This week I have returned to the blog 'Bunny Mummy' (see the link in the last blog post) and I fell in love all over again with her simple tutorials and beautiful bright designs that fitted perfectly with my prettifying needs!! - Check out the links so you can also celebrate her genius!

So this is where the weekend lead me, with hanging hearts and the start of some crochet bunting... I even learnt how to block!!!

Many people I'm sure would agree that this in itself was a recipe for a cosy, lush weekend but I was spoilt even more and the Little Misses Three joined forces to go visit Harry Potter at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. This topped off everything and I regressed to being as excited and enthusiastic as a five year old, once again Janette and Kirsty were forced to indulge this.

So all in all one amazing long weekend and so I wish that you are all inspired to get hooking especially now that spring has finally popped in and looks as though it could be persuaded to stick around!!!
