Lovely new pod cast

Hello dears! what a beautiful spring day we are having! blue sky's, gentle breeze just glorious! my windows are open blowing in a fresh breeze, blowing away them winter cobwebs and boy they are a lot of them!

I hope were ever you are, you are having a good day! I have come across a gem of a podcast I thought I would share with you, I have her blog today via one of my knitting forums, if you would like to check her out pop over to a play ful day and introduce yourselves, you wont regret it, she has a very calming voice and enjoyed listening to the first pod cast immensely  while sipping my cup of tea in the sunshine this morning.

im still working on my saroyan scarf that can be found on rav here its so nice to be working on something for me and not worrying about it getting finished and posted in time!

will have to be moving onto parents birthday presents soon, not quiet what Im making them yet so any ideas are much welcome

Im off now to enjoy this sunshine and hope you all have a great week

Rainy Tuesdays

Good Morning on this miserable Tuesday Morning, I hope it finds you well? I'm working on something for myself for a change, the fish hats are finally finished thank god! my scarf has been on the go for ages, so hopefully as long as no one asks for something it will be finally finished HURRAAHH

Its been hard to get started this last week due to my FMS and CFS playing up, its terrible they are days I lie in bed mentally preparing myself for the pain of getting out of bed but, I look at the bigger picture of things happening in the world and get up and move


lets have a bit of a singalong- this is playing at the moment -The Killers- Human, never fails to cheer me up first thin in the morning as I sip the first cup of tea of the day.



time to pop to the postoffice have a good day what ever you may be doing dears

Happy Mothers Day to all you mums

Because mums are always there, through thick and thin, to wipe away our tears, and share our joys


Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful lovely mums out there

Lost in the past

I have a confession - as of late I have become slightly addicted to...................well I'll just show you

yup the gorgeous troubled Mr Bates form Downton abbey played by the lovely lovely lovely  Brendan Coyle (mmmmmmmmm)...I just cant get enough! I'm reading bates/anna fanfiction, these two better get it on in series two, or I will cry alot!!

apart from Bates I just the elegance  it is between to eras and seems to be much softer

If you haven't seen Downton Abbey get yourself over to youtube or ITV player you will not regret it!

roll on series 2!!
