I've been clearing up the chaotic area around my desk and came across lots of softies. Lately I've spent so much time doing patchwork and needlepoint that I'd forgotten how much fun softie making is. So I gathered up this selection of cakes and took their picture, to remind me.
Sewing took a back seat yesterday though. I'd got my bike fixed in the week so took myself off for a couple of hours cycling. There's a great cyclepath in Bristol which runs under the suspension bridge and along by the river. It's a lovely relaxing ride, and the countryside looks beautiful. I don't know whether it's the weather (!) this year, but Spring is so lush and green, much more so than usual. There're still bluebells out and everything's blossoming and sprouting and flourishing. Makes you feel good (and makes me think of Cold Comfort Farm - when the sukebind's in flower).
Popped up to the allotment later in the day and -wow! - after a few days of not going up there, it'd gone crazy. The grass is almost growing before my eyes. I began weeding with a vengeance, and - sunshine permitting - will be carrying on again today.
So softie making will have to wait yet again ...
Your softies are adorable! I love the little donuts. How cute those would be sitting on a little girl's table for a pretend tea party.
