Well the cheeky monkeys (pun intended). You can’t take them anywhere these days. That steak salad looks delicious. You won’t like tha5 new yarn Jo so send it to me I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is stunning! I hope the warm weather comes soon.
ReplyDeleteFantastic ing-ing post. Your salad looks sooo good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely April so far! I think you have been a veritable work-horse when it comes to making this year with your scarves, mittens, quilts and clothes! I can spy a few of the remaining fabrics I sent you last year - it's so nice to see them being used so creatively!
ReplyDeleteI have had so many lovely fabrics from all different people from all walks of life. When I post this quilt on completion I think it will make a lot of people very happy. Jo x
DeleteWhat a lovely post Jo. Wow, the binding is on! You must have been working night shifts on your quilt. I imagine hand quilting it is quite tiring on your hands but I hope it is not too bad. I have started a new handpieced quilt. Crazy, I know. I enjoy it so far. Still waiting for some wadding to arrive for James' quilt. Your April is looking good so far and I hope it continues to be good. Living on a farm is a secret little dream I have. I always wanted to be a farmer when I was a little girl. I remember this was surprising to my parents, no farming background in the family at all. Of course I'd be completely hopeless at farming! I hope your lambs are doing ok with the unusually cold spring? Love the yarn, I am going to consult google in a moment to find out more. I can see a shawl in this skein. xx
ReplyDeleteSounds idyllic. The quilt is stunning, I still haven't finished Hectors you put me to shame completing a King sized one. The yarn is beautiful, the colours are a delight.
ReplyDeleteLove that yarn xxx hoping you are all well. And definitely roll on the warmer weather xx
