What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::  

*Crocheted tiny flowers and butterflies

*Crocheted baby sneakers (if I can find the time!)

Looking around the house:::
I'm all alone!

I can hear the washing machine spinning in the kitchen and the cocks crowing in the garden.

The sun is shining (it's unseasonably hot this week ~ 27 degrees yesterday)

The floors need mopping.

The garden needs tidying up.

On my mind:::

Sadly we lost our little lamb Amour this week ~ she spent Monday afternoon running and jumping around the garden with M and W  and then died in her sleep that evening ~ she didn't suffer ~ we all miss her very very much.

Trudie is happily ensconced in her new barn with two new friends (one of who keeps licking her)

We have two new rabbits named Luna and Tonx (spot the Harry Potter connection) ~ that has made M a little happier!)
