What could it be?
Last night while the girls played, my husband played his guitar, and the Mr. Precious and Rosie reenacted a WWF wrestling match in my living room, I got a little stitching done. It's not perfect as I decided to just wing it. I should have drawn it out on my fabric so I'd have a bit of a guideline, but of course, I did not. I have to admit it's still looking pretty cute, wonky bits and all. What is it you ask? I'll reveal the finished project later in the day. Hopefully....
I'm so happy that my tulips finally bloomed! They showed their lovely faces last week on a sunny day. Then I heard we were to have a bit of snow....hugh?? I don't know what's going on with the weather this year. But, I decided to clip some of the lovelies to enjoy indoors. I got the best pictures I could on my kitchen table on the dark no sunshine day.
It was a cold and rainy/snowy day, but the tulips inside made it a bit more cheerful. It was a perfect day to catch up on some of my favorite blogs and do a bit of yummy desert baking. See my laptop next to the stove? That's mostly where I keep it. I'm standing there at this very second. I really like to look up wonderful recipes and have them right next to me on my laptop while I cook. And of course the wine fridge is strategically right below...... Sorry about the ironing board, I had to iron my pretty vintage sheet table cloth!
This next picture is of the bridge that goes over the bay in Newport. I love this bridge. It's a great part of my little community. I took these pictures the other day when I was driving home from the girls dance classes. It is such a routine thing for me to drive over and under the bridge. I don't always stop to think of how beautiful it is. This post is turning into quite the hodge-podge!
And now, last but not least....I mentioned above about the chubby cat and the baby dog wrestling. They are getting along now! Almost too well at times. They constantly wrestle. I'm glad they're having fun but sometimes I have to separate the two so they don't get too carried away!
New friends...
And it starts...
Soon it will be a flurry of brown and black on the floor, giving me heart palpitations......Lord help me....

Hi Sarah,
your yo-yoys and the little stitching look very interesting and so nice. I´m really curious to see, what you have already done with it. And what a nice kitchen table with the tulips and the table cloth, love it.
Have a nice sunny- not snowy!!!- weekend!
Love
Sabine
PS: Mr Precious and Rosie seem to be best friends, or?

Nothing wrong with Hodge Podge posts- sometimes they are the best, pics of the wrestling made me laugh.Looking forward to seeing your "secret" Thanks for the quilt comment too- it's coming along pretty fast at the mo, hopefully it might get finished soon
Have a lovely weekend

Intriguing! Looks like you've been busy with that yo yo maker...
Loving your spring flower and bridge pictures too. I'm posting some welsh spring flower pics in the next 24 hours - just getting the hang of the technology...
