the time has come

actually, not yet.  All will be revealed soon though!

We are getting excited over here about the dress-up night coming up at our ecclesial camp, but that's all I'm saying.  There will be photos, but not yet!

Plus I will mention that the sewing machine has been out and whirring away here and there on a couple of things to complete the final details.

So what Can I tell you then?

This is a pic of the floral bouquet that Zoe held in the wedding she was in last Saturday

Tonight we had Verity's vegetable soup, yummy- thanks Verits x  (She gave us some turnips and swedes and beetroots) and they made a very yummy soup- Ben loves his soup, and I don't mind making it in the thermy so that's all good.

Last night we made pizza dough and had some homemade pizzas with favourite toppings- the most popular flavour was the pesto potato one, followed by Margharita.

We also tried another new recipe from Cookidoo- Hearty lentil chilli- it was so good that I've just made another batch to serve for ecclesial lunch tomorrow.  (Followed by flourless chocolate cake- Torta Caprese- so quick and easy to whir up in the thermy)

And I finished another romper- this dusky pink one, but I'm trying to decide which colour flower to add...

Oh, and I have a model for the larger size romper- it's up on my Etsy shop now- she's a cutie!  It looked really sweet on her too.  She liked the attention with all the photographs :)

And the exciting news?  My yarn arrived from Lovecrochet!  I ordered some pretty pastel cottons to start a cot size blanket in the pattern that my friend was working on, you know, the ripple one with the bobbly bits.  But unfortunately I haven't had a chance to start it yet :(

I did start a sample swatch of the blanket pattern with some leftover yarn to get the hang of the design, and that is working out fine, although I didn't get very far, but I'm looking forward to getting back to it.  But priority one is to first make up a little dress that a friend has ordered for her granddaughter's birthday- she saw the rompers hanging up at my house and asked for a dress instead of a romper -so the top of the pattern will be the same (but a larger size), and the bottom will be even simpler.  Such fun that I have!
