Today is shaping up to be a pretty good day, so far. First we had Joe's class assembly, which was very sweet. Joe fidgeted throughout, but at least he was smiling and he held up his letter (the "o" in "courage" - the theme of the assembly) when he was supposed to. After that, it was a quick hop across the road from school to my friend's house, where we have a regular Tuesday morning get together with various other mums. It was one lady's birthday so chocolate cake too, yum!
When I got home there were two packages waiting for me - always exciting, even if I did have to pay for them!
A lovely, Country Living book on storage style, which I can't wait to sit down with and start browsing through with a nice cup of tea.
Then there was also a parcel of yarn from Colinette:
Isn't that the most gorgeous colour! It's called Adonis Blue and I'm going to use it to make a scarf. "That's not very interesting" you might think, but I'm going to try something a little more taxing than just knit and purl this time - I want to try the "my so called scarf" pattern, which I think you can find here, but I've also spotted it on Ravelry, which I joined last week.
Finally, I had six comments regarding the bag of scraps, so all the names went into a bowl:
I stirred them around,
and drew out.....
Shelley! If you can email me your address I'll get it posted off to you asap. Sorry to those who missed out, but it's my blog birthday next month so keep your eyes open for another giveaway soon.
Now I'm off to make that cup of tea and sit down with my new book!
