Happy Easter! I've been very good this week - did the garden as promised - it still needs more time spent on it so perhaps a bit more this week. I've made two different prototype tunic tops for my granddaughter and they're awaiting the sign of approval - let's hope they fit. I made some colourful book covers from some felt which was an experimental piece which I then hand embroidered - I do like them, perhaps I'll have photos of them next time. I've also been getting some photos ready for a competition - the standard is high so I've been agonising over which to submit - only time will tell if I've made the right decisions.
On Saturday, we went to Lark Lane (without the St. George's Day rose - a long story!) and, although it was quiet, we still enjoyed it. Once again, we met some new and interesting people and, among other things, sold some of the scarves I spoke about in my last blog. Liz, my sister and partner in crime, is ordering some more wool for us tomorrow, so the knitting needles will be red hot getting some more ready for the Craft Fair at Longmoor Lane Methodist Church on 7th May.
Today, we've been walking in the Lake District - hoping to get some good photographs of bluebells. The weather was glorious, the birdsong was wonderful (particularly the goldcrest we saw) but the bluebells are just a bit later up there than here so, although they were plentiful, they were not quite at their best. Took many, many photos anyway and I'm going to get them onto the computer this evening, along with the birds from last week.
I'm not sure what the plans are for the rest of this week, I need to finish off quite a few bits and pieces before I start on something new - a bit of self-discipline required. We'll see.
