I simply adore your "happy" posts. We have been having a string of dreary days here, and your beautiful photos put a bit of sunshine in my day.

I can't quite see my mandala in the picture but have seen it on The Pinterest page. I enjoyed making it!

Howdy from far off. I wanted to send along some mandala love but YIKES, mine is 8 and 3/4 inches- how strict is the 8 inch guideline? If it is, i'll have to dive back into my scraps for some more transmigrating with color.... Thanks for this lovely project. SO much fun to see all the color and stitch variations from the greater Attic24 world. Binges of eye candy!

Please post a picture of your coastal ripple - what a lovely combination of colours.

Umm, I'm with you on the cherries, latte and salads.... oh, and the crochet too, of course. Look forward to seeing your latest ripple finished

Oh the cherries! I keep seeing them for sale at the roadside stands and I haven't bought any yet. Perhaps this weekend.
Looking forward to the Mandala update. I think it's neat to see so many people from far away come together for something like that. :)

Love the retro fabrics in AdaBeal's cushion - my Mum had kitchen curtains in the gold floral one. A very popular fabric in the 1960s.....

What beautiful photos, Lucy. In my old house had a tree with these yellow flowers. Here in Brazil is called "Cassia Imperial".
What a privilege to live in a place so beautiful. Each season has a lot of precious things.
Congrats

I really do know I'm losing my mind now, because I leaned over my keyboard to smell the vase of stocks and wondered why they didn't smell of anything! Oh dear. It was just such a convincing photograph! I love your pictures, Lucy, they bring joy to my day.
Posted by: Gillian McM | May 23, 2014 at 01:28 AM
love all of the Mandala's you are receiving. what a beautiful sight to see. i will have to give them a try.
Posted by: folksmith | May 22, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Hip hip hurrah! Oh the smell of stocks - it's so reminiscent of my Grandad's garden, where I grew to love plants and learned to grow them.
That image of the mandalas is heaven for the eyes.

Beautiful images . Happy days :)

Thank you for sharing the lovely photos of Skipton in May, this is my favourite time of year next to autumn. The mandalas look fab (I think I must get on with making my Yarndale contribution) and your flip flops look very jolly. Looking forward to hearing more about your mandala story :-) Love Jo xx

I love when you post the seasons from your window!
My Aztec Dazzle Mandala is winging its way to you from South Africa, fingers crossed that it reaches you in time .. our postage system can sometimes be a little naughty! The pinterest page of Mandalas is amazing .... it's going to be wonderful display, can't wait to see pics!
