Spring and things.

 

This is a happy Tally.

Another walk along the estuary on a beautiful sunny morning, plus some water and a lot of mud, topped off with a dash of drift wood, all equals one happy dog.  

 

It was a really quite chilly but the picture makes it look warm with that big expanse of blue sky
 and a few cotton wool clouds.  

I love the light at this time of year and can almost feel myself waking up as the days get longer.
It is definitely my favourite time of year.

 

On the making front, I have finally finished my Moorland Blanket.

Thanks again to Lucy from Attic 24 for such a great pattern.  

 

I think this may be my favourite blanket so far. The wave pattern of stitches makes such a close weave (if there is such a term in crochet!!) and the result is a really cosy blanket.
And then there's the colours.. 

Sky colours are not my usual choice but in combination with the rest I am a converted person. 

 

That's better. The right way up.

I would have had a lovely picture of this held out carefully by child number 1, but the risk of using teenagers to do that sort of job is that they use the opportunity to hold up various fingers as well as the blanket!!! And their daft mother doesn't see until she uploads the photo.

So this 'draped in the tree' version will just have to do.   

 

And finally a garden catch up.

This blue is so vivid. I think the plant is Lithodora but don't hold me to that.  

 

A patch of marguerite daisies that all came from one tiny cutting given to me by a friend about 6 or 7 years ago. I just keep taking more cuttings and planting more because they are so easy to do and look after themselves - my sort of plant.

 

And its apple blossom time again.

Oh, and new peg bag time...
 

 

I hope spring is springing with you too.
