There's something fabulous about flowers isn't there? Having a little vase of them brings a ray of sunshine into the house.
Yesterday, on a little jaunt into a nearby town, I saw this beautiful bunch of anenomes sitting outside the flower shop. They look a little wild, and they caught my fancy!
They made me want to draw flowers, and do some floral-themed stitching...
Flowers are springing up everywhere- yesterday E and I went for a walk and said hello to all of the lovely Daffodils and Narcissi. Fabulous splashes of yellow on a slightly grey and windy day.
Today, with my Mum we visited a lovely garden centre, and I bought a few herbs so that I could start a little window herb-garden. I was particularly excited by the lavender (one of my absolute favourite smells!) and the little alpine strawberry plant- I love the idea of growing my own little strawberries!
I leave you with a picture that makes me smile so much- the sight that greeted me when I asked my little 'un to lie down on the changing mat for a nappy-change!
As a history teacher, I'm so proud! (I should qualify that there were several pages on steam trains inside that he was particularly taken by).
Have a lovely weekend, wherever you are.

Busy (almost spring) days.
These past couple of days I have been...
Making a favourite recipe from my Wagamama cook book...
Admiring my son's very cute pyjamas that we were given over a year ago, but which he's just about grown into...
That, hanging out with an enthusiastic toddler, seeing a handful of friends and trying to fit in the odd bit of housework has kept me fairly busy!
I hope you are having a lovely week!

Posting a little portable gift to a friend...
And making fairly rapid progress on E's zipped Gilet- a really fast knit after the more complicated things I've been attempting recently!
