When I woke up this morning........♪♪♬♫

 


Hello, lovely lovelies♡ I woke up this morning......and you were on my mind  ♪♪♬♪♬♫  Just channelling Crispian St Peters. =) Though, I really have been waking up in the mornings and thinking of some of you, of late♡ I hope you are travelling okay,  all things considered; living in this alternate universe we find ourselves♡

Here in my little universe, within the safe cocoon of my humble home, sheltered from the ails of this sorry world; and where the summery garden embraces me every day, I've been fashioning more flower baskets. I was a wee bit excited on Friday as I thought there were enough flower baskets for the quilt and the piecing of rows could begin. But. Alas. No. It seems more are needed. Now, if this girl's muddly head wasn't more often than not, lost in dem arty farty textile clouds, twirling and whirling around all things fabric, ribbons, flowers and baskets, she would've realised the layout she imagined was just not  going to work. So, with both feet once again on terra firma, and with a new layout decided upon, the appliqueing of new baskets is under way. Though I'm loving all these pretty baskets, the appliqueing of the baskets is wearing a bit thin....just a tad. So, perhaps next week there may be a Flower Baskets flimsy to ooh and ahh....and wax lyrical about. 

One of these things is not like the other...


One of  these things just doesn't belong......


Ahh.....Sesame Street. I used to sing 'One of these Things' with my girls when they were little. Precious memories of watching Sesame Street with my girls, with each day following the fun and educational antics of Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, The Cookie Monster......Maria.......Bob.....and all the gang. Those were the days♡









This week I started knitting a wee baby cardie. A cable pretty in Patons Merino 4ply baby wool. The colour is a soft grey, and 'tis lovely and soft.



As it's Sunday I will enjoy a little knitting. Clickety clack, clickety clack of the needles, rhythmically knitting back and forth in a relaxed fashion; sipping a cup of Melbourne Breakfast tea, in a pretty teacup; of course. Perhaps, I will hand stitch a few more baskets, too. 

Sending you, lovely lovelies, sprinkles of heavenly scented sweet peas and rose petals; with a little Tassie sunshine to kiss you on the cheek♡ Take care, lovely lovelies♡

 

Until the next time......

  2. Lovely baby sweater...can I come and take a cable knitting class with you?? Those baskets of flowers are just what I needed--we still have lots of snow and cold here but March is fast approaching...
    When I was a child, my grandmother gave me a piece of Lavender Rose china for every birthday and Christmas. I have a full set and use them once in a while. Do you just have the little creamer or the full set of dishes?
    We sang those same Sesame Street songs when my daughter was little. She also loved to watch Mr Rogers and even had a zippered sweater that she wore when we watched the show.
    Take care.

  3. we watched He Man and She-Ra (princess of power) and Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles instead of Sesame Street - till i became a nonna and tuned into Daniel Tiger and Arthur for my grandbabies ... anywho, your baskets are my favorite things today!!! real flowers instead of snow covered brown grass - thank you for adding some color to my day!!!

  4. Thank you, I love the flowers. I did notice that you'd placed 'real' flowers into the baskets you'd fashioned. Such lovely flowers and baskets, too. The basket quilt will be outstanding as I can see that each basket is fantastic and each will glorify the quilt. Thinking of you, also, Kim. Blessings...
