It's a beautiful warm day today- one could almost get ideas that spring is on its way. Don't want to tempt fate though. Today's activity has been making 'garden soup'- do you remember doing this as a child? Just take a mixing bowl, add some ingredients from around the garden- dirt, leaves, stones, water from the hose...
and stir liberally with a wooden spoon or stick.
This kept A and K busy for an hour or more. If only we'd had rose petals, we could have made 'perfume'- my favourite childhood activity. Must start saving my empty vanilla essence and medicine bottles for this purpose.
I made a few adult scarves as a special order last week. i'm usually quite nervous about making grown-up things but I really enjoyed doing these. I used pieces of cotton and light wool fabrics patched together for one side, and backed them in matching stretch cotton which gave a bit of weight and softness. I also decided to make them quite wide, almost like a wrap/shawl design for extra cosiness. I might make some for friends over the next couple of days.
Hope your weekend is the kind that allows for some crafting and/or chocolate for breakfast.
