A taste of Summer

Well, yesterday that lovely yellow orb in the sky decided to shine....all day long!

Making the most of the sun and heat is very important, especially when you enjoy climbing. And so, with the sun in the sky, we packed up our climbing kit and snacks and headed for the hills.

Here are a few pics of my lovely day out........

Off to celebrate the Husband's birthday. Have a good day folks! xxxxx

Where has the weekend gone?

I can't believe it's nearly 4pm on a Sunday afternoon! It's always the same. After a busy week I look forward to the weekend and then what happens......? It flies by!

I've decided not to set myself a list of things to do this weekend because I never get through it and you begin the next week feeling like you're chasing your tail (so to speak). This weekend I've made the most of some time to relax. My husband is busy playing on the hills and I'm enjoying being at home with my laptop and putting together ideas for crafty projects. At the moment I'm busy creating labels for my crafty creations ahead of a craft fair I shall be taking part in in a few weeks. I'm hugely excited and busy trying to get everything organised.

Thanks to a special offer from moo.com and etsy, I've just received a box of beautiful mini business cards. I can't wait to hand them out!

100 brand new mini business cards

Personalised cards- made especially for me

One of the many beautiful designs available

I'm off to make some scones now - yum! 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, wherever you find yourself and whatever you may be doing,

Thank goodness for the sunshine!

After a busy and stressful couple of weeks I am glad to see the sun shining. It manages to lift your mood and make you feel just that bit lighter.

I haven't 'blogged' in a week or so. I've had the flu, which still seems to be hanging around, and lots of things going on at work. With the Easter holidays approaching, I am looking forward to some well deserved me time and the opportunity to get out in the hills and enjoy some walking and rock climbing. 

With the sun shining I'm turning to lighter weight wools and beginning to think about the presents I can make for people with birthdays in the colder months and, yes,........ Christmas! It's a way off yet, thank goodness, but I like to be organised and hate to put down my knitting needles just because it's warm outside. The weather has got me thinking about knitting in the great outdoors. I do a lot of outdoor activities and can think of nothing better than sitting upon a hill, with magnificent views, indulging in my favourite hobbies - knitting and walking. I'd love to hear about your favourite places to knit/craft.....?! :)

Best wishes to you all. Enjoy the weather, whilst it lasts :)

P.s. I am pleased to report that my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy just over a week and a half ago. His name is George, and he is just gorgeous! I'm so happy to be wrapping the little treats I knitted for him during my sister's pregnancy and cannot wait to see him wearing his funky little booties and hand knitted cardigan.
