Some Nice and Happy Things

This week we've had so much rain and after many wet and grey days

it started to get a bit depressing. So I was very much cheered

 when the sun finally appeared on Thursday morning.

Such a welcome sight!  And it stayed shining the whole day! 

hip hip hooray!

It was the usual busy day in our house
 but it was so much nicer going about our chores and routines
with lots of bright sunshine coming through the windows.

On Wednesday I went for a wander around shops and

found some pretty bargains. 

This little jar was a pound in a charity shop

and these bowls had forty percent off their original price in a shop

that was closing down. 

I always love a bargain especially when they're unexpected and

they're found on a wet and miserable day. Gives me a smile

everytime.

My husband baked and we do love a homemade cake in our house.
He made Torta Caprese, a chocolate and walnut cake.

It's very yummy and gave us our cake and chocolate fix this week.

I was able to do some sewing on Tuesday and made
 good progress on the set of cushion covers I'm making for a friend.
I'm hoping to finish them very soon.
In the evenings I've been making granny squares while sat on the sofa
 watching television.

I'm finding crochet enjoyable at the moment and like to see the
stack of little squares growing slowly everytime.

My copy of Molly Makes magazine came in the post and it's got
a very nice free calendar!

It's full of beautiful pictures and they're inspiring me to do more crochet
especially this winter.

Our three year old girl did her very first dance exams in ballet and tap
last weekend and we got the results this week. She did well on both
 and we're just so proud of her.
