Three things that are making me heart-skippy happy today....
:: Thing #1 :: on my table ::
:: A bunch of daffodils bought from the market as tightly closed buds have opened to reveal the most beautiful pale yellow blooms. They're soo pretty! And making me long for Spring to arrive. We've got grey foggy dull damp weather here today, but walking into the room and seeing this jug of flowers has really made my heart skip-skip-skippy ::
:: Thing #2 :: in my tummy ::
:: Baked a chocolate fudge cake as a surprise for J's birthday today. Of course the cake is not yet in my tummy, but a good helping of the chocolate fudge icing is. Wellllll......with no Little People about to lick the bowl out, I was forced to undertake that job myself. Such hardship ::
:: Thing #3 :: on my sofa ::
:: Little B and I were at the cafe this morning enjoying the wonderful company of fellow knitters, hookers and stitchers. I finished making the last of the squares needed for my baby zigzaggy blanket....one hundred and five in total. Now got to find time to arrange them and stitch them together, but in the meantime I'm really getting a buzz out of admiring them in their neat little piles ::
♥ hope you find some things to make you heart-skippy happy today ♥

The daffodils are beautiful, I have been thinking of the brightness created and it's just lovely. The cake looks so yuumy! Hope it was enjoyed very much. Your zigzaggy blanket is coming along nicely, it will be awesome to see it all put together.

Hi,
Really gorgeous colours! I want to make a blanket or pillow for my youngest one in this style. Any recommendations on pattern and which yarn to choose (what are you using / what's your favourite)?
Thanks!

I've been following all your lovely snuggly and now industrious again adventures Lucy. Sorry never found the time to stop and say hello properly. Being back at work (onlt two days though does throw the week out a bit).
Now that cake looks so light and yummy I could almost taste it.
Glad you're well and you sound very happy. Hope all settling into a steady pattern for you.
Have a great weekend.
