Bargain booty!

So, it's just your average Wednesday and i've popped into the village to pick up some bits for lunch and have a mooch in the charity shops....

Well imagine my surprise to find the following treasures tucked into the rails:

Firstly, this gorgeous Lulu lemon hoodie for only £4: 



Next, a beautiful beaded-crochet top from Whistles for just 650 pennies:





Wow! I just couldn't leave it behind. Not sure how I'll wear it yet, but am imagining a pair of skinnies and some damn high heels:

Am loving the garden ...

Really love being in the garden at the moment; weather is warm enough be coat-less and kids are happy enough to play happily.

Found this little fairy-sized bird box buried under piles of old leaves and thought it should be liberated. Cute eh?



Also had fun at the weekend potting up these fiery Polyanthus.





They certainly cheer up the end of the garden and will brighten up a dark day too.

Tweak bunny finished!

At last! And I don't mind admitting that it's taken me longer than I'd liked, but Tweak bunny is done!
(For anyone without jam-eaters, Tweak is a character from a kid's telly programme called the Octonauts)



I'm pleased with how she's turned out.



The Octomates together:



All the characters are based on Ana Paula Rimoli's 'Valentine Bears' pattern from "Amigurumi World Seriously Cute Crochet" and I am loving making them. Thanks, Ana.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside ...

Gorgeous, gorgeous and gorgeous was the weather today in beautiful Sussex.
Enjoyed a very lovely morning down at Littlehampton with numbers 1 and 2. The tide was way out, so we played for ages on the soft sand and relished the warm spring sunshine.



VERY sad that the ice-cream booth on the prom was closed and that the little land train wasn't running.
However, VERY pleased that the amusements/ rides weren't open, otherwise it would have cost me a fortune.



Bring on the summer ...

Ninja Turtle no more!

Am pleased to say that the addition of ears has helped Tweak bunny no end ...



Just need to find the time to finish her off ..*sigh*
