Yippeee Friday

 

:: waking up to blue skies :: yippeee!!

Didn't last long, the grey clouds soon rolled in but at least it has stayed dry and allowed us a very pleasant afternoon in the park.

 

:: happy goldfish in the house :: yippeee!!

Managed to get round to a few light domestic chores today to restore a little order and harmony to the place. The goldfish can now see out again, the floors have been cleaned and underwear has been laundered and dried and returned to empty drawers (there were a few tense moments this morning when a certain family member found himself underwearless).

 

:: hedgehog bread in the house :: yippeee!!

A trip to the local baker to purchase hedgehog bread. We adore this bread, cut thick and spread with butter and jam mmmmmm. Do you think it's Ok to have bread and jam for dinner?

:: Cranberry and pecan Tiffin in the house :: yippeee!!

Baking session with Little Lady resulting in this decadent morsel. Recipe coming next week. Oh, you're gonna love this!

:: BB on the bed :: yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally finished the last stitch on my beautiful Big Blankie yesterday afternoon.

I'm struggling with the ta-dah photo shoot though I'm afraid. The light has been poor, the blanket is pretty big and hard to lay flat and photograph, and my bedroom is pretty messy and the photographs I took today do not look good.

Will try again tomorrow, I need a bright afternoon so that there is decent light in the bedroom. Oh and a fairy godmother to come and woooosh all the bedside clutter away. Here's hoping.

Have a fabulous weekend one and all....

Edited to add :: ooo yeah, you probably noticed I made a little change to the look of my blog today (inspired by today's blue sky), I do hope you like it. I also updated my blog list to include ten new blogs I've been really enjoying lately. I continue to love love love being a part of this fantastic community and there are some terrific blogs out there. Happy Blog-hopping!

I must say, your latest blog cheered a grey day here.

Can't wait for the Tiffin recipe. My Yorkshire MiLaw used to make a perfect tiffin and I could never quite get it right for my husband. Yours looks so professional.

Hi Lucy

[Lavenderladrome]

Lovely BB! Really inspiring to keep me going with mine ;-)
Btw, do you happen to have a recipe of this wounderful bread? It looks so cute.
Have a nice week!

Hi Lucy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[homely heroine]

I can sympathise with the problematical indoor photoshoot, the preview looks great though. Yes, definately, bread and jam for dinner is bliss, esp if its bonne maman jam!

[jo]

Mmmm - bread and jam. Of course bread and jam is ok to have for dinner! My tribe have been known to demolish a whole loaf of home baked bread with butter and strawberry jam in about 10 mins flat!

[Beth]

I just love BB and you have inspired me to start one on my own! Thanks so much for all of the pictures and edging tutorials...they are coming in very handy. Your blog makes me so envious of living in Britain surrounded by greenery and summer rain (I live in the western US where summer is desert-like and very brown).

[Tineke]

Blanket looks lovely,specialy the scalloped edge. Like the little changes on your blog. Never tried hedgehogbread, it looks yummy. Have a wonderful weekend!

[Fiona]

Would love a tiffin recipe :)

Hi Lucy. It's all looking lovely as ever. Hope the sun shines for us all today as photos are becoming something of a challenge aren't they? x
