Behind Bars.....


...is where this innocent looking madam belongs! FORTY minutes she gave me the run around last night, chasing the Easter Bunny. Let me say it again....FORTY MINUTES! She knew where I was, but kept a good few hundred yards between us-not to mention some very thick gorse-at all times, completely unfazed by my mild (???) histrionics. I did have time to see a lovely sunset, between whistles and yells......


......and I have now read more about "prey drive" than I had previously thought possible. Looks like I've got some more training to do!!
To help settle my nerves, a little sewing was in order....with obviously a little something to keep the blood sugar levels up......



My blood sugars obviously behaved themselves, because I'm now two-thirds of my way through the latest project. Well, the top at least....I'm in denial as to how I'm actually going to quilt it-just too many conflicting ideas at the moment.....


I shall love you and leave you now, as I need to go and eat some more chocolate. See you soon. xx

There Seems To Be A Pattern Developping..........



..........need I say more?? Perhaps I should just give up ALL pretence of "Miranda and Lu" being a sewing/quilty blog, and just tip headlong into a market research site on afternoon teas? Heck...I'm halfway there already! This particular research was taken at limewoodhotel.co.uk . All I can say is "go"! Or , if you're watching your waistline...."don't go"!! In my defence, it was a "works do", so it would have been rude not to......
In other news, I have finally decorated for Easter......



Not QUITE what it should be, but mysteriously, my "Happy Easter" bunting has disappeared. Not that I'm pointing any fingers, eh Mr. The Husband???? Filed under "BIN" is it? Obviously, said Husband is denying all knowledge, but we all know his lack of enthusiasm for all things decorative.....Hmmm......
And we've been glamping too, in our new INFLATABLE tent. Not a cheap addition to our family holidays, but at 10 minutes from getting bag out of the car to being inside, I can SSSSOOOOO overlook that monetary minor detail!


Not entirely sure what's going on with the picture quality....perhaps my camera is allergic to sunshine.
And just so you don't think that I've truly abandoned the Needlework Ship, I am in the process of cutting all this........


.....into 304, 5" squares for a commissioned quilt, for a delightful little girl's 2nd birthday. Watch this space....
I shall leave you now, with many happy wishes for a wonderful Easter. And if you don't celebrate Easter, I hope you have a glorious Springtime. xx
