tulip is up!

and my first tulip is emerging, a beautiful red, orange and yellow bud.  I’m kind of looking forward to it opening, but then again, I don’t know if they last long once they’ve bloomed?  We’ll have to wait and see.  Thank you to my friend who gave me the bulbs!

and yesterday I ran a Teddy Bear’s Picnic for Little Poppins (the nanny agency I work for), and it went really well, fun was had by all.  Especially me 🙂  Plus, I got given some beautiful flowers!  I’m sure they’ll look even better when the Iris’ open up too.

I accidentally started on another crochet project the other day- it’s another beanie (for Zoe?)

if it works out- I’m not sure if the yarnI’m using is a bit too fine, or whether there will be enough of it to finish the project.  It intrigued me how they got that knit ribbed look doing crochet so I just had to give it a try.  It’s a bit time consuming though, and I’m still just working on the band ATM.  I’ve also nearly finished the jumper for my Etsy shop, just need some down time to complete it.  And I’m also still working on lacey shrugs for my nieces for summer, if I can adapt the pattern to make one big enough for my older niece…

I kinda like having a few different things on the go at once anyway 🙂
