Mmmmmm Cake!

Hello ..... how are you all doing today?

I'm just going to have a cuppa tea and a slice of chocolate cake (not made by me by the way!) would you care to join me?

Its Friday and Mr P has been emailing me from work to discuss his chores this weekend and ask if there are any other bits and bobs that I would like done...
So apart from building some flat pack DVD storage and a couple of bedside cabinets I think its just blitzing and de-cluttering our bedroom that will be necessary...


I am not usually a very tidy person... in fact I could be crowned the queen of clutter, but this year I seem to have been possessed by a tidy spirit and I have been getting my act together...
Yesterday Joanne and I popped into Sherborne with our little ones for a spot of shopping... and to be honest I didn't realise there were so many yummy shops there... well I bought a red and white Cornish ware mug... but with my "buy in 3's" motto it would have been rude not to buy a couple more...

I think I need another one in the same colour blue as my Staffordshire chef ware jugs...

I recently bunged a couple of crochet creations into the washing machine to see how they would felt up... they are made from Paton's Jet wool that is 70% wool and 30% Alpaca and I am pleased with my first attempt at felting...
I think I will line them both too... after that I am not sure what to do with them... mind you I could just start stock piling all my creations and have items ready for birthday gifts through the year...

The hearts are crocheted from my latest Crochet World magazine and I think I will hand felt them to see if the effect is any good

I let you know how they turn out and i think I might do some in pretty pastel cottons too...

The delivery man has just been and my books have arrived I think I might make some itty bitty animals tonight... I think it will go a long way to clearing some of my odds and ends of wool, I am not sure what I will do with them all once they are made, perhaps I will do some swaps or giveaways!

Mr P is picking up his new phone this afternoon so no doubt he will be playing with that and adding numbers and email addresses

here's hoping for some sunshine this weekend and a chance to get out in the fresh air on Sunday perhaps... you never know I might talk me P into taking us out for Sunday lunch... ;D

Have a good weekend everyone and if you are still dealing with snow take care and stay safe...

big hugs
Alex
