Weekend Bliss

I have been looking forward to the weekend and just wanted to chill out at home doing the two things I like best, and that is sewing and gardening. The deadline is drawing nigh for the Chocolate Lollipop Cushion Competition. I have "fiddle farted" around, unpicked seams, blurred my eyes to see if my idea really worked and then started again from scratch. I'm pleased to say, I have finally finished and am quite pleased with the outcome. Can't show you sorry, as I have to enter it in by next Friday, so you'll have to wait and see the results.

As for my wool fettish, I mean love affair, I have put some boundries on the relationship. After my 26th visit to Spotlight during the week, I made a firm decision that it was the LAST ball for the season. It has been soooo tempting.

I have filled one of my felted baskets with balls of wall - I am now experimenting with smaller hooks to see what happens.

After a good deal of inside sewing time, I put on my gardening boots and outside I went. I had a lovely time moving plants about as I have just finished extending all my garden beds to make room for planting. I cut back my salvias right to the ground ready for a Spring flush and found some plants that had been hidden by larger growing species. I am loving all the bulbs at the moment. They are so happy and such promise of Spring time. When I got home on Friday night I did all the washing and a "white tornado" on the house work so I could bask in my passions for the whole weekend. I even went out and picked some beautiful jonquils and filled a vase.

I just love being home.
