Well Hello There....

I really don't know where this year is going - it's just flying by.

I meant to blog much more regularly this year and here we are, almost a third of the way through the year with just a handful of posts done.

So what have we been up to?

In early February I spent a lovely day with my dear friend Ashley from Country Rose at Unravel Knitting Festival - there were some really lovely yarns to tempt us with:

I was quite restrained on the shopping front, just buying a few FQ's and trim and a lovely beaded scarf knitting kit:

We had a lovely girly, yarny day together and we even met a celebrity!! Lynda from The Great British Sewing Bee!! She is the mother of Sarah from Crafts From The Cwtch who we know via Instagram. I was a bit star struck to meet Lynda as I love the Sewing Bee!! She is really lovely and so I am most definitely TeamLynda now!!:

I'd been inspired by the Sewing Bee to make the dress I'm wearing in the photo above, I was quite pleased with how it turned out:

In other news I've had shingles. This was the third time, I had it when I was little and then just after W was born in 2000. Each time just a little patch on the bridge of my nose which has been very itchy and unsightly but thankfully not painful. A bit of antiviral cream and it's cleared up thank goodness.

We're thoroughly enjoying the wonderful sunshine we have had these last couple of weeks - it really lifts the spirits....

Pop back tomorrow for a bit of a Ta Dah!!....

Hugs,
