Picnics and fevers

It seems to have been a week of two halves.

The start was warm and sunny, and Springlike. We took a bus to go a little further out for another Geocaching trip. We went to Brooklands park, somewhere we'd not ventured to before, and found a couple more, one tucked in a fence

and a hole in a tree, a perfect hidey hole!

This time we took a picnic with us and sat by one of the duck ponds

It was lovely to be somewhere new, and to be out in the fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun, and enjoyed being surrounded by nature.

We spotted this that made us chuckle, we've heard that Red Bull gives you wings but....how?

There has been very little achieved on the crafting front this week as expected, with the work load piling up, what I didn't expect was to be hit by another virus, after not long getting rid of one!

I did manage to block my cushion, the only time an iron comes out in my house!

and a few more flowers added to the mood blanket

and i've been reading through the first few of the course emails. I've not physically done anything yet, but it's all been very thought provoking, and i'm looking forward to making progress once I stop feeling so physically and mentally exhausted.

I get a couple of days rest now before the final push (for those of you who don't know I work in a Chocolate shop, hence my life evolves around seasons) and then I hope to get back into my crafting rhythm 

Happy Easter to you all

Fallen petals and Woodland walks...

So the 'Fallen Petals' cushion has been coming along nicely. 

The backgrounds are made, and i chose to use to try Attic24's teeny tiny flowers pattern, and they were the perfect size...

I picked out matching tones from the Ice background and chose 4 different Stylecraft shades.

Such quick and cute little flowers...

Now I need to make a start on the edging and get joining the pieces together

We managed another little Geocaching jaunt, this time heading into the woodland

With a great mix of finds...

In all different shapes and sizes, some so tiny!

And one which was easy to find, but a puzzle on how to get it out!!

I love that this is making us venture out and into the fresh rather than staying stuck indoors!

I'm pleased to say that I've pretty much caught up with my Mood blanket, except for a few ends...

This week I will be embarking on a 30 day course called Set-up shop. Thank you Lucy for the recommendation. I'm hoping this will give me some invaluable tips on my online store to enable me to start getting some sales. I'm sure I'm a little crazy for taking this work load on now, when the next two weeks will be the busiest of the year in my full time job, but my 'word' for this year is "Determined", so here goes...
