Catching up



I'm playing catch-up here and at home.  I'm not quite sure why but I guess I'll just have to go with it until things settle down.  

We treated ourselves to a new (to us, from Gumtree) cupboard for our inner hall.  It is a fairly rustic affair (expect for the drawer handles which really need changing) with a few bashes and scrapes already but that is perfect for this area which sees so much traffic from us all.  There's not much natural light so it is hard to photograph.  As soon the cupboard was in place I had an urge to make a mat for it.  The large Moroccan bowl came home with John after a work trip last year and I had struggled to find a good home for it but I think it has now found the perfect spot. 

I have joined the new British branch of do.Good Stitches bee - we'll be making quilts for various charities.  Fiona very kindly set us lovely simple blocks for the first month.
I'm just about to start cutting up this lovely lot for a quilt commission.

Lily and Charlie are enjoying the sun and warmer weather.  I do sometimes wish I could laze away the day like a cat does.  In reality I'd be twitchy within about 15 minutes, I'm not all that good at sitting still.  But it seems like such a lovely idea at times.


Little Katie is an active and busy wee soul.  She is most happy stomping around outside and she has so much fun exploring every puddle, doorway, manhole and leaf en route to wherever we are trying to get to.
 I have decided spring is in the air but am rapidly running out of space on the dining room window sill.

I hope spring has sprung with you too.  Wishing you a lovely week.
