lemons and violets

Inspired by reading about fairy crowns I spent the afternoon in the garden knitting a little crown for my own baby fairy. Its not finished yet, its for her to wear on her birthday next saturday.

In the evening I had the luxury of a long soak in the tub accompanied by a vintage teacup filled with vanilla tea. I like to drink tea in the bath. Oh and my bar of soap that smells just like turkish delight. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I had time to luxuriate tonight because last night I finished the first 3 things for baby Violet's bedroom (my friend's daughter). The colour scheme they picked was sunny yelow and purple, but I have been thinking of it as lemons and violets...

Now I just have to write a rambling letter and then mail everything...

Blowing Bubbles

I have spent the day playing at 'blowing bubbles' and crawling around the floor of the library. It is certainly true to say that having my daughter has freed me up to finally spend my days the way I always wanted to...

Ideas sort of come to me in flashes and its sometimes difficult to reach out and catch one... especially when I'm tired. In my head swims visions of dolls dancing with bears, a domestic cat with a mane like a lion, pockets full of stars and roses roses roses...

I have also been thrifting and collecting and making and ordering things for baby j's little room. Its pink and green and polka dots and flowers, its dreamy, sleepy and cut and paste, its books books books...

We are reading Minty & Tink tonight. Its just perfect. Are you really real?
