It's been a beautiful warm spring day here. Officially today British Summertime begins, so the clocks went forward an hour. It's now seven o'clock and still lovely and light. Makes such a change to your mood, though it also seems a prompt a rush of cleaning with me. I'm generally a household slut, so the flat's usually knee deep in cat hair and newspapers, half finished paperbacks, balls of wool, piles of laundry waiting to be washed. But come the bright days and the sun shines through the dusty windows and out comes the mop and bucket! I've also been re-potting various houseplants that were bursting out of their existing pots, and planting seeds in trays. The kitchen window sill is jam packed. I wish - I do so wish - I had a garden, but I'm in a 1st floor flat so for now I have to make do with indoor foliage.
I've started another needlepoint tablemat -
I'm also still softie making, and the little critters are multiplying at an alarming rate.
At the moment I'm filling these knitted chaps with polyester toy stuffing, but I've a huge bag of dried lavender so I think future ones are going to be half stuffing, half lavender. Rather than attaching keyrings to the lavender ones, I think I'll just attach a loop of ribbon, so they can be hung from a coathanger - to keep your wardrobe nicely scented and deter moths too. So they'll be useful, sweet scented and goofy. What a combination!
