Hobbies, new and old

All blooms are complete...


The edges are sewn together...

And i'm extending the envelope close...


It's all coming together, it just needs those blooms to decorate the edges...


We of course indulged on Shrove Tuesday...


And we tried out a new past time. Geocaching...
We failed on our first attempt, mainly due to the weather conditions, so just ended up wet, cold and stressed. But the following day armed with the correct coordinates, renewed enthusiasm and the rain keeping at bay, we had success. After finding our first one, this filled us with excitement and eagerness to continue. We found 5 in total, and felt very pleased with ourselves. I think we're hooked, which is positive as it will encourage us to venture outdoors more. It adds a whole new depth to going for a walk, and I don't think i'll ever look at a lamppost the same way again!!


I had a couple of days off work which enabled me to catch up with my floral mood blanket



7 weeks now completed...
