WOYWW

 Good morning all.
I'm a bit slow at publishing today as I had a hectic play day with Ben yesterday. I forgot just how active a five year old boy needs to be!
We played football, cricket, hide and seek, a water pistol game (Nanny got very wet!) as well as pebble painting and Lego model making - all in our garden. It was a lovely day but left me slightly tired by 6.30, when his Mum collected him, after he had enjoyed his favourite "chicken dinner".

I spent the evening knitting a little purple hat but ended up unravelling about 6 rows when I realised I had lost a stitch and the pattern was going a bit wonky - maybe I nodded off part way through - I'm not sure!!

Below are some lovely cards that I bought from "Dear Emma Designs". I love birds and these prints from her fabric collages are lovely.




And lastly - a snap from our walk alongside Rea brook this week.
I am calling it "Light at the end of the tunnel"!
It seemed appropriate somehow.

I hope you are all keeping well and able to get out and about a bit more.
Take care, keep safe, wear your mask!

xx Jo

    Small boys are just full of energy eh?! I remember when mine were small, they'd get up running, keep going through the day and then fall asleep like a switch being turned off....and I wasn't far behind, lol! Those cards are absolutely beautiful, I can't believe they're fabric collages (well, prints of), I had to zoom in for a closer peek!

    That really is a lovely photograph you took and I can see how aptly you have named it.
    Love your cards and your knitting, such a talent for all kinds of things but am missing the Twiddlemitts this week. must be because Ben tired you out.
    Hugs, Neet 3 xx

    Those cards are absolutely beautiful, Jo. My favourite has to be the one with the bluetit guzzling at the milk bottle with his little bottom in the air!!! The tree tunnel is gorgeous too. We have a lot of places like that here in Devon where we live. I absolutely adore trees and love nothing better than a walk through the woods. Hope you are not too tired after a hard day's play with young Ben!!

    Happy belated WOYWW,
