let the Easter hols begin



our Easter hols began early with a training day on Friday.
local village charity coffee morning /table top sale to the rescue.
pretty spring flowers for me



a brand new set of games in a box for the children, there has been much happy chess playing - and quite a bit of cheating............



followed by some Easter decorating





some cute crafts



and plenty of Easter "baking"



cheerio slice - very sticky and apparently delicious, not surprising as it contains marshmallows, toffee, and two types of chocolate........



and Eastery biscuits - they look too cute to eat, but they're not.........



and best of all some ripply goodness (it's that Lucy again, she's a bad influence on me - so many sewing projects abandoned................), this is my practise piece, created whilst watching the grand prix at the weekend, the cars go round and round, the crochet goes up and down.....love it xx

    i printed out the ripple instructions but am avoiding looking at it till the children are back at school as will be accused of neglect as i spend my time crocheting instead LOL

  15. That slice looks absolutely delicious. I am a great fan of cheerios even if I don't have any little people at the moment! And I am very impressed with your ripple!! I have the pattern at the ready together with the yarn but can't do anything in the same room as the cats!!!
    love Sheila

  17. After reading your post I feel slightly bad for not doing anything other than making hot-cross buns twice.

    Congratulations on mastering crocheting btw.

  18. Oooh you're rippling! Looks lovely. I'd love to do a ripple blanket, but sadly my crocheting skills are pretty nonexistent!
