Took this photo today at 10:57am, it perfectly captures a little patch of Saturday Morning Bliss.
Me still in my pyjamas.
Pink lolloppy-flopsy tulips on the table.
Mug of frothy coffee in favourite morning mug.
A spot of relaxed flower-making (a new project on the go, more of that very soon)
And the most deeee-lish new book just delivered and unwrapped but not-yet-opened.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a lovely photo. I have search on your sites, and I found fabulous photos. And you shared an informative thoughts and ideas.

Hiya, love the hexagonal flower from your Japanese book. Could you please post the diagram and explanation of exactly how you made your hexagon. I think they would make fab coasters.

Hi Lucy. I found your blog trying to find a pattern for small crochet flowers. I love the way you use bright colors. So pretty. I'm thinking about ordering the same Japanese book. I hope you could let us know how you like it. Have a good week!

I love the look of these Japanese crochet books but i'm worried i won't be able to read the patterns. How do they write the patterns out?
Also, i've now become slightly addicted to buying those little tubs with bulbs in. So far i have a hyacinth & a miniature daff's selection. They really brighten up the day! This is all thanks to your blog!
