Make cushions while the rain falls!

Flaming June! Well what a to do, June has seen our household entering the domain of another Teenager, although I maintain she has been a practising teen for the last 5yrs! It has seen a trip to the Harry Potter film studio tour, for said Teenagers treat, funny how somethings' remain 'cool'.It has been the month where the garden has gone from lush to lush with knobs on( for lush you can substitute wild!)June was also the month that my lovely Husband ( he will probably read this ! ) gave me a 1930's Art Deco ruby eternity ring! Which i have been hankering after for many a year! It has also been a month of crochet, sometimes frantic, finishing egg cosies for the Bicycle Bazaar that fell foul of the weather, but mostly enjoyable, bags, granny squares, and my first ever circular cushion ! Oh and there was something about a jubilee and apparently more rain than than you can wiggle a crochet hook at, not that I am complaining, bring on the rain as long rainy days = crafting days I'll be humming ( singing would upset the animals! ) And to think it's only 13 days in, wonder what will happen in the rest of the month!
Speak soon.

Cold snap!!

Husband and youngest daughter Chilli ( yes, that is her real name,but I tend to call her Pumpkin,a pet name she has had since a baby!),on a shopping expedition on Sunday came home with most of the shopping on the list,and two bunches of Daffodils as a surprise for me. None of the buds were fully open,but in the sunshine some opened and are extra frilly and very pretty,they seem to 'zing' as they are such an amazing yellow with a darker orangey/gold frill in the centre, springtime in a vase! But here's the rub,we have had almost two weeks of record breaking temperatures and awesome sunshine, there has even been sandal wearing! This morning although chilly ,( weather,not Daughter ) it was sunny and all the daffodils had fully opened and looked glorious. Filled with expectation of another day pottering in the garden,talking to the chickens, lunch on the patio ,I turned the morning news on to be greeted with picture of a foot of snow in Scotland ,where last week they had the highest temps in the country! Too far away to affect us I thought, then the local weather lady added to my unease, low temperatures possibly a touch of frost,and some sleet, granted it's not two foot snow drifts, but it's hardly sandal wearing weather either !! To top it off Husband removed the radiator in the bathroom we are decorating , so you can guess who I am going to blame for this cold snap !
