Easter snapshots

 
 


 


 

Easter. Holidaying on the beautiful British south coast, this is East Wittering beach on a gorgeous sunny morning. The boys loved running at and from the sea, collecting stones - we have a big pile outside the front door - and eating fish and chips (me too).

My current crocheting - this is a blanket from an issue of Mollie Makes. Using up all the odds and ends of double knitting in my stash.

And my current reading pile - feel this sums me up rather nicely! Sewing, crocheting, eating and music.

This week I also started Zombies, run!. It's similar to the NHS Couch to 5k programme which I previously completed last year, but returned to sitting on the sofa afterwards. This one trains you up to run from zombies and incorporates your own music, which I love. It's very motivating when you hear the zombies groaning in your ear - although I haven't found out yet what happens if they were to catch me....

This week

Making:


- birthday bunting for a soon-to-be 3 year old girl, whose favourite colour is orange.

 
- a quilt for my god-daughter.
 



- signs and bunting for my eldest's Superhero birthday party. He's going to be a very grown-up 5 (sob).

Admiring:

 
 
- my luscious new selection of printed linen which came in the post today. What to make, what to make?!
 
 
- my new foxy cushion, cheering up my reading chair a treat.
 
 
It's been a busy week, but filled with things I love. Signs of Spring are all around - the garden literally springing into life in front of my eyes, putting away the winter coats, buying school shorts, a trip to the local shops on my bike, and the Easter holidays about to start...!
