I’m sorry I did not get around to posting last week, I have had a horrible head cold for the past two weeks and only in the last few days have I felt more like my normal self.
Last Sunday myself and Mia attended Crufts with our German Spitz Klein Mouse and she actually got placed 3rd in her class which was lovely. We then did a little retail therapy and some catching up with friends. All in all a lovely day but oh so tiring!
The previous week I made a colourful one pan meal of roast chicken and vegetables. Using some chicken thighs cut into chunks and a nice selection of colourful veg also chopped into bite sized pieces. I sprinkled some chopped garlic and mixed herb and seasoning over them, also olive oil. Then just popped into the oven for around 45 mins.
This week we had our Supper Club and the theme was Spring therefore I made my Lemon nettle cake I made last year unfortunately it did not turn as vibrantly green as previously but it still tasted great.
Our next Supper Club is growing in numbers and will be Mexican themed, bring on the tequila 😉.
The weather is slowly warming up and the camelia and magnolia are beginning to appear in my garden. I have now sown some lettuce and my tomatoes and courgettes are germinating inside. My sweet peas and the lettuce have been outside for a few days to harden off. I am definitely looking forward to doing more in the garden this coming week if the weather stays mild.
I have bought an archway to grow the sweet peas up, I just need to decide on placement. I will be sowing my peas into the container I painted last year and that I grew tomatoes in. This is down in the bottom garden and has trellis at the back which the peas can grow up. I am keeping track of when I sow and germination etc in my garden planner which will be helpful to look back on and it also will let me know what grows well in my garden.
My crocheting goes in stops and starts but I have completed something and also have a work in progress project.
My Easter bunny is now complete I used a free pattern I found on Instagram unfortunately the creator does not appear to be on there any more but I took screenshots to follow so I am attaching below
Here is my little bunny
The other crochet project is making a granny square cardigan. I can just make the squares as and when I feel like it and eventually put them all together. I loved this pattern and actually whilst it looks a little complicated is fairly easy. It’s just trying not to get too tangled up with the different yarn balls.
I am getting quite a little selection of spring crochet items for my kitchen island display it looks so cheerful especially with the tulips.
Well that’s the catch up of the past two weeks. I hope all you mums are going to be spoilt today. I am being taken out to lunch by my eldest Georgina as Mia is on the final few days until her dissertation is due and so could not be at home but we did spend last weekend together.
Have a good week.
