Simple Pleasures......

This little phrase, in my world, would usually refer to chocolate, in one form or another....but I've found a new love. And the satisfaction that this love is bringing me is completely disproportionate to it's size and function. Voila......


These little gadgets, as shown on Kirstie Allsopp's Homemade Christmas, exist in various sizes, and are  REVOLUTIONARY!! I was never a pom-pom fan....the tedium of the long process required to make one, the never-sure-what-to-do-with-it-now-you've-got-it moment, just didn't do it for me. All that has changed. Using Clover's little gadget (I've got the 3/4" and 1" sizes) in about a minute you've got the most perfect little bauble. I'm telling you....it's addictive...


I have great plans for these little darlings-I just need to make a few more. Watch this space!
In other news, I've finished the baby quilt I was working on........


I rather feel that I may have to change my Quilt Holder. He is perfect in The Husband role, but sadly lacks enthusiasm in the Quilt Holding Department. You can just about see in this photo that he is trying to watch the TV, and not concentrating on the task in hand! Hmmmm.....


A little closer....


And one of the back and binding. Now to bundle it up and leave it in the capable hands of Royal Mail.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone...I'm about to be whisked off to be wined and dined (well...lunched!) thanks to generous friends and a wedding present! See you soon. xx
