Time at home

First I'd like to show you what came through the post a week or so ago:A little treat from I know not who! I took part in a secret swap on Misi. You had to make something beginning with the letter of their name. Being a T caused my swapper a few problems, so she came up with a 'trio of gifts'. And a delightful little trio they were too!

So, there are a few perks to having minor surgery - the main one being time at home and forced to sit still. SO I've got a few things done.

A brithday card for my son's girlfriend, who is 18 today! Happy birthday Danni!

Some crochet flowers, ends finished neatly at last and ready for some final additions of buttons .

Chicken update: Here are the girls. Chickens are quite camera shy - my lovely ladies assume I have food and so come up to see what I am doing, which makes it quite difficult to photograph them.

This is the bossy one (now, you'd never have guessed if I hadn't told you, would you?)

And finally, some photos around the garden.

This angelica is nearly 5 feet high, and has grown just this spring! Aliums and wisteria are among my favourite spring flowers

First listing!

Well, after much angst and trepidation, I've done it.

I've listed my first item for sale on Misi! A little bag made from my own pattern, from Japanese fabrics.

So now I can officially say that I have something out there. It's scary and exciting and worrying and nerve-racking and - well, it's an awful lot.

Visited Ikea today; got a few odds and ends that added up to more than you imagine! It was very busy and I didn't enjoy the visit as much as I thought I would, but got the things I needed.

Very quiet here with all the family away or out, but I quite like that. Just me and the dog! Gert lush!
