...see the fabric, buy the fabric, make a lovely bag. Have only those things in your life which you either know to be useful or believe to be beautiful (Wiilliam Morris) - even better if they can be both! We spotted these gorgeous retro fabrics by John Lewis and just had to acquire a few metres - then put them to good use. Any excuse to sit down and sew a fine seam (or two!).
Obviously when there are other colours available it is soo difficult to choose, best to have one of each. Then imagine spotting them in the spring magazines - how 'on trend' we are!
It's official, the geese are laying, fortunately not too often as given the size one is enough to feed the whole family! The fridge is filling up with hen and duck contributions too. It may be time to start making ice cream again...yum! Can't make enough cakes to keep up

It has been cold again some snow on the tops, but we have had some lovely sunshine too. Outside jobs are getting more pleasant, as the ground dries a bit, though the sun is showing up the mucky windows!

It may only be March but Easter is on the horizon. Daughter had a creative splurge one morning and produced some lovely happy pics to hang up on the beam in the kitchen. Looking forward to all those chocolate eggs! It is so good to be looking forward to life opening out again after a long cooped up winter.
The garden is coming out in colour all over now as the sun warms the soil and the fresh green foliage is covering the bare earth, just time to do some mulching, and maybe some weeding. If only we could eat buttercups!
Had a visit to family who live over near Penrith, a lovely lunch and lots of fun and games, then a walk into the stunning countryside
Back home to do some making - here's a small corner of heaven!

Sunshine and hope are important components of a happy life - add some hens and all is well!
