Happy Easter


Just popping by to wish you all a very Happy Easter ~ I hope that you all have a very lovely Easter weekend.

As I have continued to be very unproductive with my hook, knitting sticks and yarn I thought I would share a photo of a little knitted Easter chick that I made a couple of years ago ~ he is very good at hiding chocolate Easter eggs in his little woolly tummy. I am very good at that too ~ although my tummy is definitely not woolly!

Enjoy your chocolate Easter eggs and TRY your very hardest not to eat them all today :O)xx

Easter weekend

A very Good Morning to you all today ~ I hope that you had a Happy Easter weekend.


We spent Easter Sunday down in the very lovely seaside town of North Berwick visiting my Mum. The weather has been very kind to us this Eastery weekend and we decide to work up an appetite for lunch by going for a bracing stroll along the beach and believe me, it was very blustery and very bracing indeed! Don't be fooled by the weather in the beachy photograph ~ silly old me forgot to take the camera so this picture was taken on a much brighter day last year.

Yesterday the weather took a bit of a turn for the worse and it became very windy and very rainy indeed. We decided to have one of those very lazy, staying in our pyjamas kind of days and lounged about and ate lots of chocolate eggs and drank vast amounts of tea. A wonderfully satisfying way to spend a day I must say!


In between all the tea drinking and chocolate eating I also managed to find the time to sit with my feet up and do a little crocheting. I have now finished making all the colourful little granny squares that I need to make my woolly paintbox cushion. As you can see I have still got to sew in the little end bits and then join all the squares together but I'm quite sure that it won't take me too long to do that.


There's a very busy week ahead with two small children to keep entertained ~ in ways that hopefully won't involve spending too much money. Although with a trip to the cinema planned that will pretty much blow the entertainment budget in one go!!

I hope that you enjoy the rest of your Eastery break and that you have a fun filled time whatever you may be doing :O) xx

Happy Easter


Just popping in to wish you all a very Happy Easter ~ I hope that you all have a very lovely Easter weekend.

Enjoy your chocolate Easter eggs and TRY not to indulge too much........... although I somehow think that in this house it will definitely prove to be much easier said than done!! :O) xx

A bit early.....


I know that it's a little early for Easter, but I was looking through some old knitting patterns that belonged to my Aunty and saw a pattern for these cute little Easter chicks. I felt like doing a bit of knitting yesterday and decided to try out the pattern. It was so quick to make - less than an hour!

The little Easter Chicken is designed so that you can hide a Cadbury's Cream Egg inside his tummy. I just HAD to go into the shops on my way home from school this morning and buy a Cream Egg (or 2) to see if it was the right fit.

Guess who's tummy the Cream Egg is hiding in now!! And very yummy it was too. :0)
