Well another week has whizzed by but what a fabulous start to the week I had . Monday morning this beauty greeted us when I opened the blind . How can a flower like this poppy not make you feel good first thing on a Monday morning !!! The boys and I went out to have a closer look , we were quite bold over by it's beauty . We've had people stopping to take pictures of our poppies , not only are they stunning but they are quite a size too !!!
Monday was so hot as well , so to take advantage of this I suggested that we had our Monday evening Crochet session in my little back yard . This was so we could enjoy the remaining heat of the day and take advantage of the last of the sunlight , there was a resounding yes to the idea . So I cut some flowers from my garden to make a pretty display on my table ready for my friends , I do like to make fuss of my friends !!!
So table prepared , assorted snacks sorted and Pimm's chilling nicely , the Crochet group arrived and boy did we have a night !!!!
Our little crochet evening actually turned into quite a party , we got a little tipsy had a really good laugh and did a little crochet , what a way to start the week !!!! All my flowers plus some that one of the my crochet friends brought me all went on my little table next to my favourite chair in the bay . So as I sit sewing I can enjoy the wildly sweet fragrance of these pretty garden flowers . What a pleasure it has been enjoying these flowers in such close proximity.
So this week I really have enjoyed my flowers and as I sat this afternoon sewing ( a cushion that is nearly finished , I will have a ta da moment very soon ) in my fravourite chair listening to a c.d , having a freshly ground cup of coffee , I just thought that life is full of perfect moments and all we need to do is to take a bit of time to sit back and appreciate what we have .
So now I'm looking forward to a week off work with the boys and my hubby . Our days will no doudt be dictated by the weather . So thanks for popping by and ta ta for now. x
What gorgeous flowers and such an idyllic setting for your crochet party. Have a wonderful Jubilee weekend, hope you have fun.

Hi Carol , so pleased you like the flowers and I do think I need to plant more flowers for cutting in the garden , but my garden and yard are a work in progress ( I think it always will be !!). I have a humble home with only a limited space out side the front and back of my house . But I do try and make the most of it , and make it a pleasure to be in and look at .
DeleteEnjoy the Jubilee celebrations with kind regards Tracy .
Your flowers are beautiful! Such a good idea to group them in little containers like that! And I love the poppy. The centre's a gorgeous shade of purple. I'm inspired to sit with tea and some lovely classical music to do my crochet now.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Jubilee weekend, despite the traditional Bank Holiday weather!

Hi Ali , I am enjoying using little containers for flowers , it certainly makes a small selection of flowers go much further and make more of an impact . I'm so glad you were inspired to relax with a cup of tea and music whist crocheting .

Hmm, sounds like a perfect evening. Wish I lived near.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley , It was a lovely evening , it's such a shame your not close enough to pop by for a bit of crochet and a glass of Pimms .
DeleteEnjoy your week ahead with kind regards Tracy .
That orange poppy is stunning!! And I love all your little vases of single flowers : -)
ReplyDeleteHi Trudy ,the oriental poppies that have come up this year are so special . When we had rain a couple of days ago two poppy heads snapped off so I took them into the nursery where I work . The children loved looking at them , they were out with magnifying glasses having a good look and some of them sat drawing them .Who couldn't be inspired when presented with such natural beauty !! ( even if your only 3 or 4 years old ).
