Groundhog Day!

This little chunk, Punxsutawney Phil not the Gentleman holding him (!), DID NOT see his shadow this morning so we have an early Spring on the way.  I do hope so as I am very fed up with grey skys and rain.

I have had a lovely day NOT working!!  I got all my jobs done yesterday so I managed to have coffee with a very good friend of ours who we have known for over thirty years.  They have known our Boys since they were born and of course is very excited for the new arrival.  She is a wonderful knitter and has knitted this little jacket, hat and booties for when the baby arrives.  They are wonderful and the picture does not do them justice.

I took them straight up to the parents to be for them to put in the nursery, along with Teddy.

DH got home early and loaded all the equipment up and went off to set up for tomorrow.  He will be going out early too.  I am quilting tomorrow and no doubt Coco will be in her basket next to my sewing table! I have also a few other nice jobs to do over the weekend too. 

I have not got around to taking pictures of the Books that the Boys and DH bought me for Christmas.  I did have a lovely book token from my good friend, Jayne, for Christmas and here are the Books I bought with that.

I also got a Paddington Bear book for the baby too. 

I have a very large TBR bookshelf at the moment so my aim this year is to not buy any more books and read what I have already got.  However you know what we Bookworms are like we see a book and well suddenly it is in the basket and we are waiting to pay!!!!! On line shopping is very convenient these days but it can be a nightmare for us Bookworms, you can click away and before you know it there are five books in the basket.  Although I still say that Books are still a great buy; so the Christmas Murder book is £8.99 which is two Cappuccinos at Starbucks.  I know which I prefer and no it isn’t the coffee!!!

I hope you lovely lot have a great weekend, whatever you are up to. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

Someone is a bit tired today!!!

    I’m with you…early spring, please!!! Of course, our winter has been quite dry, so I’m expecting a bad fire season for forest fires here this summer. Coco has the perfect place to be with you whilst you sew! Maybe you will have a bit of time to sit and read this weekend…get started on that TBR shelf!! Absolutely adorable outfit for the baby…what a sweet gift! I got some things like that when I had my first, handed them down to her for her girls!
