Hello Lovelies,
I'm enjoying my week off work with my boys immensely.
The weather has been great and the computer has been turned off for most of the day.
I can't resist photographing the happy things that I love to record and share with you lovelies, so here is simple post of happy home-time moments.
Flowers from the garden on the bathroom windowsill..........
Seeing a mention for my sail-away decoration in Simply Crochet magazine :0)
baking on a cooler evening when I could bare to turn the oven on.........
Yummy carrot cake, THIS simple recipe...........
Barbecuing and eating in the garden. Eldest cooks the meat and I make the salads etc.. He's always been such a helpful boy and I love it now his help really is helpful..............
Quiet time just for me.........
A shady spot and a cup of tea, time to sort out my yarn bag and put all my tiny scraps in this little bag I made as a teenager......I still love it..............
Also time for adding a few more tiny squares to my latest project.............
It's nearly finished now.......I cant wait to share.

looks lovely, love the colours of your crochet. and I love your bunting in the garden :)
ReplyDeleteOh it does look blissful in your garden, especially the glimpse of it from upstairs. So green and shady - wonderful. I'd like to sit there with you for a while and do some stitches and have a natter. I'm trying to teach my eldest a bit of cooking as well, it's nice when he can prepare a meal if I'm out with the others. Well done on your crochet mention, I love the little sail boat. It would look lovely on a mobile as well I think. CJ xx
ReplyDelete'baking on a cooler evening when I could bare to turn the oven on...' A typo, I know, but it cracked me up! We should all bake naked in this weather :D
ReplyDeleteWow, teeny teeny squares!!!! A lot of ends to sew in there, but a nice project for the summer. I saw your sail away in the magazine and smiled when I saw it, I knew immediately it was yours even before I read the write up! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely, special moments. Love your "sail away".x
ReplyDeleteI have a tiny bag of scraps too though I didn't make the bag. It's great when you get help that is really helpful!
ReplyDeleteWow Jacquie - well done on the magazine article! Glad you're enjoying some family time x Jane
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the magazine! L-o-v-e carrot cake, yours looks divine. I too like to crochet outside, I'm usually found on the porch in the swing with mine. A lovely childhood treasure and a great way to keep up with all those tiny scraps of yarn. Such a sweet memory making time spent making a meal, it is so nice when they reach the age that they ARE a help.lol Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI would like to sit in the garden just like that. I think I'll try to do it soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your sail-away decoration! Congrats! The barbecue and quiet shady spot looks fantastic! I can't wait to see what you will do with the tiny squares! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. My boys (men) love to do the BBQ when they come to visit. Must be a man thing, x
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy you blog. I almost feel as if I know you. Your projects are always so lovely. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo glad others are given the opportunity to admire your sailboat...and as a Saylor, I think I should make one...another project for my want to make list :) Hope you and yours enjoy many more happy days together. I am enjoying having most of my adult children together in may house this week...a rare treat! xx
ReplyDeleteI have always adored your little sail boats on the side bar of your block, so I am not surprised that they got a mention!!!! Your carrot cake looks really yummy!!! I also love eating outside and it looks as though you had a lot of fun!!!! Have a happy week and enjoy your summer!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove
