In the garden...

We still have snow in bits of our garden but we've had some blue skies and sunshine as well this week 

^^^ look at that proper blue that is ^^^ 

flowers have been showing their faces...

and the garden has been attracting all sort of visitors...

...some of which have migrated to my shop now

*squirrel not included ;o)

It *is* pretty though...

 There are not so many signs of Spring popping up round here just yet, in fact it's all still looking decidedly MidWintery!
Not an altogether popular opinion I know, but I actually like the snow and don't think we get enough of it ;) 

We are lucky enough to have views like this from our back door though...

...and this on our doorstep... 

 ...which probably does make it a little easier to appreciate :)

If you're looking for a bit more colour and Spring-i-ness though...

..maybe some cheery flower bunting could brighten your day? :)

cotton candy

 been playing with some new yarn this past week...

 ...it's a blend of 51% recycled cotton and 49% acrylic.

the colours are a little lighter than I'm used to working with but not so pastel that I develop an allergic reaction to them ;o)

they have a sugary sweetie kind of look to them I think

despite being almost half acrylic, the yarn still has a very cottony feel and look to it

both bags are available to buy in my Folksy shop

Melvin

Meet Melvin.

Melvin's not sure what he is, but he likes daffodils...

...seahorses and chocolate spread on toast...

When he grows up, he'd like to be a Marine Biologist...

He'd also quite like to be a dinosaur but thinks that Marine Biologist is probably more realistic...

But hey, a puppet can dream can't he?!

You can find Melvin over
