Hello lovely peeps, I hope you're having a happy Sunday ? The clocks sprung forward this morning and we're officially into British Summer Time . . . well really? Someone ought to inform the weather. It's windy & rainy & besides being fairly mild, not at all summery.
But I'm not really complaining, because it's the perfect excuse to stay in and catch up . . .
So regular readers will know just how much I L.O.V.E crafternoons. A good natter, some yummy snacks or a delicious lunch (or both), and time spent with lovely friends . . . whiling away an afternoon and enjoying some creative time together. We all seem to have such busy lives, but when my friend Sarah invited us to her lovely home for just such a day, it went straight into the diary and I set about making her a little gift to say "thank you for a fabulous day" (because I just knew it was going to be. It always is.)
This is one of my favourite Dr Seuss stories, and as Sarah & her lovely hubby are about to acquire a delightful little vintage caravan, and set off on some summer adventuring, it seemed somehow appropriate.
And I think she likes it :-)
True to form, we chatted, we knitted, we crocheted, we ate, we drank, we chatted some more and basically we just set the world to rights, as only girlfriends can.

| it wasn't all just talk, look how much we got done too . . . |
Even the two sweet pooches wanted in on the action - snuggling up on the sofa behind their mama.
And as if one lovely crafternoon wasn't enough... I had another.
This time I went a-quiltin' with Jayne. She has been making the most fabulous quilt for her youngest daughter who is off to University this September. Said daughter loves to travel and collects t-shirts wherever she goes. So her clever Mama squirreled them all away and produced this beautiful work of art.
How fab-u-lous is that ? It's truly made with love.
Right, the sun has just come out so perhaps I'll gather at least one of my adorable pups and head out for a little walk before it disappears again. Or maybe I'll just curl up on the sofa with my knitting . . . hmmmm . . . what d'ya think?
'til next time,
xoxo
