Painful wednesdays

Havent posted in a while everythings is ticking along as normal, were finally enjoying some sunshine so have started to tidy up the back garden so it looks less like a mud pit and more like a garden, was going well to i busted my knee its very painful and having to hobble on my crutches typical! dos mean i have more knitting and crocething time, i have two things on the go at teh moment the first is my LFS and yes i did split the sleeves very pleased with myself! second is a nice no brainer trebble blanket just rows after rows, using up all the spare bits of yarn I ave laying around

sorry for all the typos Im a bit high with pain med lol

Peace at last

after a busy day finally time to sit down and have some knitting time, pic is off the start of my FLC what is now much further on done two buttons just one more button hole and 13 rows before i move onto the next part, really enjoying this lefts hope it is wearable when finished!

As its been a nice day I planted my lupin seeds and there now on my window sill, tomatoes are still alive and hopefully will reover from there shaky start

Hoping you all have had a good day Clare xx

Lazy Sunday Mornings

dont you  love a lazy Sunday! everything peaceful, a nice bug cup of tea, and radio two bliss! after been busy yesterday I did manage to cast off my baby blanket its finally done! cast on FLC  had to make two new stitch markers as it said to use 6 but its actually 8 and i only have 6, now sorted and i'm now on row 6 the start of the button hole, fingers crossed it goes well. will update with pictures when they is more to see :)

my lettuce seeds are peeping through the soil they have come up quickly they must like my kitchen windowsill.. sadly my tomatoes seem to have a problem :-( the edges of the leaves have curled im hoping they pull through! 

Today's picture is of my lovely apple tree in the front garden it is full of blossom this year :)

I was up with the larks was  a lovely morning and me and the dogs took a walk to welcome may in was lovely as no one around at 5am best time of the day i say!  now home with a nice big cuppa while I browse the forums and blogs and do some knitting :) while listening to Jonathan Ross on Radio two

wednesday madness

well its turned into Friday laziness as we have had a very busy couple of days. with the nice weather I decided to get into the garden and start sorting it out after the bad winter, going to take some doing but hopefully in a a few more days it will be more garden and less mud hole!! 

I bought my tumbling tom tomatoes for the hanging baskets so out of the way the dogs and easy to pick, Now all I need is my strawberries and I will be a happy girl!! 

Had to show you my gorgoeus Tulips again they make me smile every time I walk out my door and see them! 

MY new needles have arrived so I have everything I need to cast on Feb Lady cardi, just need to take the leap its very scarey!!Bye for now Clare xx
