Batter on a Bright Day

Being Shrove Tuesday (the day of the pancake), I was asked to fill up this ...


... cut up some of these and


mix some of our eggs into a creamy pancake batter for a delicious breakfast.



To cheer up the cold, grey, snowy weather we've been having we added some colour to our day with these hot pink roses.


I also wondered how much longer I could keep propping up the leggy hyacinths.


Later on, after a much needed walk and run around a farm, the Buns were desperate to get sewing. Bit of discussion later and we settled on felt rabbits.

They each drew up their patterns, cut them out and pinned them to the felt.



After all the cutting, they started on the faces and then just as suddenly as we began they wanted to go and do something else. So one day soon, perhaps, these little rabbits will be sewn and stuffed and loved.

  5. We've had to postpone our pancakes (do you think that's bad luck??) with two out of the five of us away yesterday.

    Love the little felt rabbits - I guess it's all about Easter now?

    take care and have a fabulous day.

  14. Hi there, glad you had a nice pancake day! Look forward to catching up at the fairs this summer. I spotted a new fair in Ipswich and thought of you in case you were interested in a stall - www.imakefunstuff.co.uk
    It looks quite interesting.

  16. some lovely pictures, you have been busy! and I love the hyacinths - I use ribbon wrapped round a chopstick for mine !
    thanks for your comment although i had to laugh about the "tidy" - if you look again its only the bed that i photographed as I wouldnt have the heart to turn the camera 180 degrees and photograph the masses of toys - now that wouldnt have made for a good picture LOL

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. I read all of them and really appreciate you taking the time to say hello.
I always try to get back and reply, but sometimes this may take a bit longer as pets and children always seem to need attention around here.
