Sunshine at last!

The sun is shining for the first time for a while and it's really warm outside, so I took the chance to take a photo of my skinny stocking. A little further along. (Spot the cat paw next to it - Lulu had to come and see what I was doing!)


The bad weather and a few work issues, which I won't go into but let's just say there is one person I have to deal with who is very abrasive and I would gladly never ever speak to or deal with again (and no it's not Martin!), mean I've been a bit fed up recently. So of course I had a new start :) Here's Mimi's Tape Measure from Olde Colonial Designs. A really cute little piece.


And here are some of the first flowers of the year. I absolutely love hellebores. There are two plants here, transplanted from my father-in-law's garden, and it's the first year they've really flowered. Hopefully I'll get some seedlings from them that I can grow on.

  2. Love the progress on your stocking! I'm curious to see your progress on the tape measure as well. A tape measure finish sounds interesting.

  8. Wonderful progress on your stocking. Each and every time I see it, I want to start mine. Good progress on your other start too. I love hellebores too. Mine are coming out, but with all the flowers here, spring came too early and while the flowers are out, the plants themselves are very short.
