duck pond market

hurrah! we did our first ever craft market at the weekend - duck pond market in ruislip. it is a really friendly market, full of lovely sellers who were all so great to us. the weather was amazing which bought everyone out . . . a great, great day!

i didn't get to take many photo's, but here are some of the crochet hair clips and felt flower rings that we had on the stall.

noah's birthday card

had fun making this card for noah (who is 4!)

that is my son jai being the assistant today.

white and colour

the boys have been making paper aeroplanes, they left them on the table and went off to school. the white on white was refreshing. then i took out my new merino wool. the contrast was stunning. i bought the wool from i knit london yesterday. i spent ages in there. they have an i knit weekender on 10 -11 september - might just pop along there!

they are called glazed carrot 16, bergamota 94, frank ochre 35 and pearl 36 made by malabrigo yarn. i am going to knit them up and felt them . . . can't wait!

flower brooches

in anticipation of summer . . .

love the colours of this photo taken in the garden -

is spring here . . .?

just had a wonder around the garden . . . what an up-lifting discovery that the buds are peeking out and the flowers are growing again. I love spring, it really is the best season! it's like you're just waking up, blinking your eyes and seeing everything for the first time . . . makes my spirit soar . . . . .

monster

i got my son to draw a monster for me as he wanted a monster brooch. this is the finished monster and he's called XHGMA1?

felt flowers

just making some felt flowers, not sure how i'm going to use them just yet. i think i was inspired by my mothers day flowers.

roses

what a wonderful sunny day to wake up to! i've had more kisses and hugs than a girl could ever wish for from my wonderful children (not to mention the pancakes!) happy mothers day to one and all. oh and i got roses too . . . .

purple crochet

another crazy week has sped by . . . just a peek at what we have been up to.
