  1. I am reading the same book - isn't it good? The same 2 magazines are on my bedside table too! I am not painting though although I should but I am feeling very unmotivated at the mo. One day on and one day off would fill me with horror - hope you can enjoy Sunday with another lie in. Karen X

  4. hi, that was a very busy week off that was! You have packed a lot into it. I love your spotty tea mug, am completely obsessed with spottiness at the moment. Hope summer arrives really soon, sick of all the rain. jayne x

  6. firstly you don't look old enough to have a son with his own family... you must have been young, bless you. Ahhhh a nice cuppa, you can't beat it can you! Your bedroom looks lovely, and I love your overalls. I would wear them every day and look like I've been in the art studio...
    Lets home we get some sunshine in June!
    Much love

  7. Hi Pixie,
    Thank you for your kind message. I'm away for a while from blogging, but I just thought I would stop by and read your blog post. So lovely to see that you have been busy with your creative work and decorating. Also, it's good to see you in your photos... Your woodland wrap is so beautiful and I love the colours. I'm just learning how to crochet, but I'm not very good at it.
    Anyway, have a great week and please do stay in touch. Email me if you like! ;-)
    Best wishes,
    Jo. x

  8. Hi Pixie, I sure love the colours you used for your woodland wrap, it's beautiful together.Once I knitted with Jamieson's wool,a traditional shetland pullover. Lost it somehow. All those colours they have. I'm always drawn between such a palette of colours, and the kind Lucy from Attic24 uses.
    You have had a very busy week, the energy you have. Your house looks nice. Are you working as a nurse? That would explain your times of working.
    And I agree with Trish, you surely don't look old enough to have a gron up son!!!!!!!!
    Wish you a nice week!

  10. Yes I am currently seeing that weather close hand. Hasn't it been wet?

  11. Wow what a jam-packed post! You have been busy haven't you! Look at your bed covered in that stunning blanket!!!!! And your new doll is so gorgeous. You are so clever hon. I have had no time all week to read all my fave blogs so today I'm being naughty and ignoring the housework while I catch up. My sewing machine just died so my plans to sew this morning are out the window. Another cup of tea is required before I decide what to do next.

    Have a fabulous week hon, see you again soon.
