Lovely lovely colours, what brand is the wool? I always have such problems finding zingy colours like that. That's a truly happy post!

Mmmm the photo of your carrot cake brings back sweet memories of holidays in England. I wish I could find some here. ( too busy - read lazy - to bake a cake myself ! )
Cheers.

I can see why those things make you very happy. Love the tomato bush, and the plate that your cake is on is gorgeous. Also, can't wait to see what you are cooking up with the yarn, gorgeous colours, as always. Have a great day.

Lucy - I know you are busy and will be even busier baby and all but you really should write a book. Your use of colour is fab and you have inspired me so much. I'd happily buy your book :)

Cake looks delish, as does the yarn!!! Is there a fab yarn store near you? If so, I need to visit.......

Ooh, what project? Your yarn looks lovely. I was going to go and get yarn to make myself a winter hat today, and buy myself a crochet hook and get a book from the library, but I'm holding strong... will finish this cross stitch first!

Can't wait to see the next addition to your crochet family !!!

Oh how I needed this today! It really looks wonderful, all of it. What kind of yarn is it? It looks fab!
Tomorrow, me and my little ones, will bake "kanelbullar" (cinnemon buns?). Last sunday, it was "Kanelbullen's day" here in Sweden, and I wasn't home that day, so we will have it tomorrow instead.
Take care!!!!
Hugs from Anna xxx

Oooh...I'm in desperate need for some heart-skippy-happy things today as the weather here in London is just awful...and I have an earache...and it's only Wednesday!
Thoughts of your yummy scrummy cake made me smile though!

I think those things would make me happy as well! I love the little winter cherry plant, will it last the winter? A bag of beautiful yarn, lucky you!

What project? Please let us know. Your schemes are so colourful. I would not be brave enough to put all those colours together, but they look great there, and will look even better once you have worked your magic on them.
