Happy-pea day

Hello to you.
Hope you're all well?
North Wales, I am happy to report, is in the midst of a heat wave!
I've been busy with one thing and another since my mid-week post.
Still had a little hooky time.
I've been making these simple purses for my craft sale.

They're quick and easy.
Inspired by this month's issue of simply crochet, I've gone a little flower mad!
Some more lovely flower bunting (much more professional than mine)
Already made two strings of bunting.

On the weekend I enjoyed some Daddy-Daughter time.
I relaxed by the river while Dad did some fishing.
The river was so still and quiet it really was lovely to spend time there.

Here are some photos from my garden this week...
Cheeky Mullein Moth caterpillar.
Peas!
Mini harvest Rhubarb, Black Currents and Radishes. 

The aroma from the Night Scented Stock is intoxicating for such a small flower.
Hope you're enjoying a sunny week too.
xx

  5. Hi FB, your crochet is looking great - sweet little purses and bunting - doesn't bunting bring about beautiful transformations wherever it's hung! I'm glad to see you've got into Simply Crochet and obviously enjoying it - I keep going back and finding new things to suit the mood at various times.
    Your garden is doing well and that caterpillar is so attractive - colour ideas for crochet?
    How absolutely lovely that you could spend 'time-out' with your Dad - how was his catch?
    I hope your week is going well - do enjoy it, and the sunshine!

    1. Hi Joy,
      Yes I love bunting always very cheerie :)
      I thought I'd give simply crochet a go and loved every page lots of fab ideas in there and there not too complicated.
      That's what I thought! About the caterpillar it is a great natural colour combination.
      Yes, I always enjoy having time with my dad. His catch wasn't bad thanks he caught a fair few and put back in the river :)
      Hope that you had a lovely weekend and are enjoying your week xx

  12. I love all those crochet flowers, so pretty. It must have been fun spending some quality time with your Dad and in a beautiful and peaceful location. The reflection of the church in the water is stunning.

  16. Happy heat wave! We just had a really rough one last week through the weekend! That fishing location looks so relaxing. I love the photo with the reflection in the water. Very cool! That caterpiller has such amazing color.

  17. Oh blimey - that moth caterpillar is amazing and I love the reflection in the river.

    A perfect way to relax.

  18. I really enjoyed your post. Pretty crochet, flowers, vegetable harvest, nature and a castle! My country (US) is too young to have such amazing structures (although I'd rather live in a log cabin in the woods than in my apartment. With a lake or slow stream for fishing!). Bunting is new to me. We don't have that here, except at Christmas when it's referred to as 'garland'. I love seeing treasured places and crochet work in posts from people across the pond. Thank you for sharing your lovely day with us.
