The next project and catching up

What a gorgeous day it has been today. Not only have I had some lovely sunshine ...I managed some hooky time and also had a lovely afternoon catching up with my friend DebWhenever I get some time off we always try to get together for a cuppa and a catch up.  We chatted so much neither of us thought to take a photo so I have used one from a while ago...it's so nice to get together and talk about crafting and blogs and home and youngsters and crafting and blogs and stamps and punches and inks and papers......and cupcakes,I told her that my last two lots of cupcakes had not peaked up at the top but just kind of stopped at the top of the case like this.....and apparently she has a recipe that never fails so am looking forward to trying it .....watch this space !
And so onto the next hooky porject....I was given a fab book for my birthday from the lovely ladies at work ...so am having a go at some squares to join up and make a 'throw' for our bed...after my visit to Hobbycraft the other day I now have a bag full of yummy yarns to play with so this is square one

without flower and here is square one with flower attached...so all in all another good day ...

Sounds like a lovely day....and love the colours of your wool...especially that green.
Have been given 2 crochet lessons at our local wool shop for my birthday....so hoping to be able to make one for our bedroom soon.

Oh, I'm loving those fresh greens and lilac!

Time spent with friends is always good and having a photo to remember it is even better :)

The cake looks yummy, peaked top or not! Cake, cuppa and craft chat is one of the best ways to spend an afternoon :-)

Can you believe, I even had my camera in my bag and forgot to use it - doh!
Was great to catch up and I would like to tell everyone that those blankets are absolutely fabulous when you see them 'in the flesh'. And the stripey bag is fantastic!
