A few makes and a recommendation.

(We have plants growing all over the house at the moment).

Due to the inclement weather I have done a fair amount of stitching and a lot of reading over the last few weeks.

The house and greenhouse are full to bursting with plants for our lottie but when the rain stops for a couple of hours we are busy and vice versa!!

My main sewing project is a cross stitch which I am doing with a view to entering it into our local Country Show in August - but more on that when it's finally finished.

To break up the boredom of that - it involves sewing a lot of grass - I have done a few other little bits and bobs of cross stitch - my very favourite  craft.

Firstly, here is a little card for my Big, Big Sister's birthday - the kit came with one of my Cross Stitcher magazines.

Secondly, here is one of the little Easter bags I made and filled with choccy goodies.  

I also did a duck and an Easter chick but my annoying netbook deleted the pics - grrr!!

I love this bag, but do think the rabbit has a touch of the Donnie Darko about it !!

Now onto the reading, we visit the library a few miles away every week for DVDs and books, I have read SO many recently.

I love libraries and love the opportunity to try something new.  

I picked up a great book called The Sugar Camp Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini a few weeks ago and loved it. 

 I chose it because the cover was so pretty but wouldn't normally have chosen this type of book (I'm a crime fiction kind of gal when I'm buying).

Anyhoo, I enjoyed it so much I ordered a couple more and they arrived today for the princely sum of 80p each - 80p to order a book sure beats the RRP on Amazon.

I heartily recommend them, great books and very pretty to look at, give them a try.

 Read any good books recently?

That's all for now.
