Weekend happenings

Hello ,
Hope you had a good weekend .The weather was kind here ,and on Friday, we finally got round to planting some veg....




Also potatoes and beetroot.


When we had finished we came inside to find Mr postie had delivered a parcel ...my gorgeous new Russian Doll keyring I ordered from Ruby Red's tiny shop.It's so adorable ...much too nice to be stuck inside my bag...so I've attached it to the outside instead.How lovely is this ?







Loving the weather on Saturday too....Flinging open the windows and getting out in the sunshine.....








Bunnies soaking up the rays...








lung wort,such a pretty plant ,shame about the name....








Osteospermum already looking lovely ....






and bleeding heart getting bigger....






I also got out and about on this.....






My trusty old bike.I bought this new in 1990 so we've got a long history together now .I still love this classic style , her lovely blue colour and white wall tyres.Here's what it says on the frame....



MADE IN NOTTINGHAM ENGLAND


Those were the days!!!! Last year she had a new gel saddle cover(for added comfort!)and a new wire basket but I'm now thinking I should have gone with wicker.



Sunday was definitely cooler so some more crochet was in order.This is the second side of my mini hexagon cushion on the right. ...






It's slightly darker than the first side so I can ring the changes.It's actually my second attempt at this.The first did NOT go well ...




Pitty I got this far before I decided I couldn't live with it !!!I think it's the baby blue and pink together that spoils it for me.I don't like the ordered design either ,though I really thought it would work.Does this happen to other people too ?
An idea you think will be stunning turns out all wrong .Arrrgh!




Today I have been playing around making these adorable flowers...



I found this pattern here via Crochet pattern central,which is a great source of information.....my version has the last round left off as I felt they were big enough without it.
I'm thinking these will make great teacher presents...No that's a bit scaryly organised for me !! I will need 6or 7 for teachers,helpers etc.Luckily they fun to do.I'm planning to add a fabric covered button in the centre and a pin on the back ..

By the way I haven't forgotten about my offer to post my mini hexagon pattern...should be later this week :0)
