A Weekend of Colour



Yippee & Woo-Hoo! The snow is gone, and finally it feels like there is colour everywhere. Blue skies above us here in North Derbyshire, without a snowflake in sight....



And green grass - I'd forgotten what the front garden looked like....



The little Miss & I have tinkered our way through the weekend ....



Taking pleasure in the mundane ....





Made flowers for....



Lemon Cup Cakes for a 21st Birthday ....



And Little Miss joined in to....



New glass storage jars with 50's ice cream parlour coloured lids, have been lovingly admired and filled....



and are sitting tidily, and very prettily into thier new home...



Squeaks of delight could be heard whilst looking at the Decopatch paper & glue that arrived via the nice Mr Postman - I can feel oodles of gluey sticky fun to be had....



And absolute utter delight at a certain bunch of tulips brought as a thankyou for making the Cup Cakes...


Just look at those colours. Snow? It's a distant memory....

Love Lydia xx

  11. I think we could all do with a bit of colour in our lives at the moment so thank you.
    Snow is heading our way again tomorrow, so don't think we'll be seeing a lot of colour over the next couple of days.

  14. Ohooo Lydia I have to laugh at what I put, for some reason I had Marathon in my mind when i was replying to you, and seemed to have thought you had come from doing a marathon, obviously you put that you had come back from a marathon day at work, Ohooo dear my mind is playing tricks, hope your marathon day at work wasn't too stressful.

    Ohooo dear am chuckling a little here

  19. Hi Lydia - Those cakes look delish!! - Thank you for your comments on my post. When we moved from Filey, we looked for new premises in Doncaster for about 2 months, but didn't find anywhere suitable. The business is still very much running, but it is all online now! - Would you like me to send you the brand new Phoenix catalogue? - E mail address is on my blog - Natalie x
