Flowers And Fairy Lights

(Pip Studio jug, a lovely Christmas pressie from a lovely friend.)

Well, it's been a real 'hold onto your hats' kind of day today.  We made a mad dash to the supermarket this morning for some essentials but, once home, it was hatches battened and comfies on.

I most definitely consider a bunch of spring flowers as an essential on a wild January day, don't you?

The Christmas decorations all came down on Monday and, whilst I was quite glad to pack them back into their box for another year, I do miss their prettiness.  So I've decided to keep my vintage bauble lights up.  I treated myself to them from here at the beginning of December and I so love the cosy colourful glow they cast in the corner of the lounge.  My crochet corner.


Talking of crochet, this afternoon, I spent a couple of gloriously indulgent hours finishing off my bunting while the Blondies both did their own thing.  It's now strung up above our bed and I'm tickled pink with it.  I'll try and take some photos of it in situ over the next day or two to show you.


Well, I'm off to bed now to gaze up at my latest make.  All this pottering is very tiring you know!

  2. I had to buy new fairy lights for my dresser on Christmas Eve as the old ones died - I choose rose ones and they'll look perfect all year round :)

    That jug is gorgeous :)

  13. I love your pretty new jug! I bought tulips this week too as the house felt so bare when the decorations came down. I have toyed with the idea of putting fairy lights up again on my kitchen dresser as i miss their welcoming twinkliness! Cx

  14. Hellooo and happy new year to you! I too got some lovely Pip things for Christmas and my bday - I keep looking at them and doing a happy little sigh...
    Love the bunting and love the writing on the photo - you're clearly some kind of technological genius, I can barely work my camera!

  17. I just love your bunting! I'm teaching myself to crochet just now, is this your own pattern or can you direct me to where it came from. I'd love to give it a go :D
