Friday

Friday is my favourite day of the week just now.  Mainly because its the last day of my working week and I can relax on a Friday night knowing that there is no necessary early start on the Saturday. (I usually wake at the same time anyway but for some reason it doesn't seem so bad when you don't have to get ready for work!)

Friday was coldish - but not that cold.  However the strange thing was that it was really slippy! I find it strange that it can be so frosty and cold but not slippy then not too cold and really icy! Had to push my bike a good bit of the way to work as was too scared to get on in case it slipped.  The sky was beautiful on Friday morning on the way to work - took this picture while precariously balancing my bike against my leg!

For a change I wore one of my skinny scarves to work on Friday.  Now normally my boss never comments on anything, but he had obviously not seen the pom-pom style wool before because he spent the first half hour talking about it and comparing it to various things like fruit, berries etc.  I just wanted something to brighten up the black polo neck and grey cardigan I was wearing.  This is why I like these little scarves - they just add a little cheer to what you are wearing!

Planning some crafting today so better go and get things looked out.

Have a good Saturday everyone!

Handmade Monday

Well haven't written for a while mainly due to being extra busy at work catching up with a week's worth of things that amassed while I was away in Cambridge.

Have been busy this weekend.  It seems to take a good while to put things on the website - especially if it's more than one or two!  Posted up some beaded rings I made - thought they'd be good little gifts:

and also these little crocheted skinny neck scarves.  I find them really handy to pop on if you're wearing a top/sweater at this time of year as they aren't too thick and bulky/hot.

I also got round to tidying up all the beads etc that I had in little bowls on the coffee table and brought a little cabinet through for my crafting stuff to go into - wow! the sitting room looks so big now!

Oh, remember the decoration swap I was involved in? Well this was the one I sent :

Pop over to 1st Unique Gifts to read some great blogs and see what everyone has been up to.

Have a great week!
