bouncing

A horrible lurgy has just claimed the last four days which so infuriates me. I hate the feeling of utter lethargy and the inability to do something when only bed calls. But although it did truly knock me for six I am without doubt the right side of it now, with fingers crossed and hoping to goodness that no one else in the family comes down with it.

However, despite the fact I couldn't summon up the energy to do anything, I did lie in bed, having lovely thoughts about what craftiness I should get up to first. I haven't done any dressmaking for an age and I'm feeling its call big time. It's way too soon to think about summer but certainly a little something for the spring, surely it must be coming soon?

So once I chose a piece of fabric from the groaning shelf, and popped it into the washing machine for a spot of pre-shrinkage, I set to work on something different. You see, I may not be feeling bouncy at the moment, but there's no reason why I shouldn't be thinking about it ..

Hey presto, one sweet little bouncing bunny egg cosy. From this great book, it is definitely helping to put a little spring in my step!

Oh, by the way, I didn't say thank you so much for the lovely comments about my lace scarf. You'll be pleased to know it is actually warming my mother now and it arrived at a very timely moment, hasn't it gone so cold?

Keep warm x
