a new spring beret


spring is coming, warmer days when you can start to shed some of the many layers of winter.
    some.      not all.


sometimes, because there is still a wind that carries quite a chill, what you need is slightly lighter layers, perhaps even a new hat (pattern here)

 

and then you can go off adventuring, if someone hasn't stolen your new hat first.
come back teddy
that's mine.......

  15. That's lovely Tess - but what a cheeky little bear. I think he needs a good squidgy cuddle.
