Your shawl is looking great, I love the ocean blues you're using. It makes me want to go and crochet another one!
ReplyDeleteThe mini lavender cushion is very pretty and I'm going to try your rhubarb and orange cake recipe next time I pull some rhubabrb, it sounds delicious...
I'll have to try making rhubarb and orange cake as I love rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteAnd big thanks for the lavender link - I was wondering where I can get some, but was too lazy/busy to search and now I don't have to :-D
I thought I couldn't love your lavender cushion more. And then it shrank.
ReplyDeleteSteal away! I love seeing your version. And am glad that you're on the mend. And yes, I too still adore the lavender cushions!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. xoxoxo
Love the cushion on your last post , hope you have a lovely weekend and holidays too x
ReplyDeleteI've been given some rhubarb from my sister-in-law's garden...can't wait to make something with it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you do the lavender....so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteI love all your choices although I might give the honey and lemon drink a miss if it is accompanied by a cold. Enjoy your weekend with your family.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had guests who bring rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend - I'm hoping to sew and garden.
I've bought the orange, now just need to make the cake! K x
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dotty- come back from a weeks hols with a laundry mountain and have an ironing pile here which I'd forgotten about. It's looking like Dame Wishywashy's now. Love your list. When I surface for air from mad clothes scenario think will pinch the idea. Happies to you, Ax
ReplyDeleteOh good grief. You have no idea of the mess I have made at work this week. ripping apart the cafe looking for this recipe!! I am DELIGHTED that you have just donethis post-have rhubarb galore at the allotment and MASSES of customers requesting the cake after me making it last year! Thankyou Tess, Phew! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely post - and look at your teeny version of the textile-y lavender! Thanks for the link to that cake - my rhubarb's like a triffid at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I am going to have to try that cake! I'm all about the rhubarb recipes this week. I've linked to yours in my latest post, hope you don't mind!Laura x
ReplyDeleteWe're all drowning in honey and lemon here, but the lurgy which has lasted best part of a month is now going. Glad you're feeling better. Lavendar bag TDF (as my teenagers say) - 'to die for'!
ReplyDeleteWe lived without a boiler for so long it was ridiculous !
ReplyDeleteI have a dream of a row of lavender and a herb garden - one day......
LOVELY creations, Tess! :o) Happy Easter to you all ((HUGS))
