Some days nothing but cake will do. I am an absolute glutton for a strawberry tart. I could not resist the tempting evil cake shop Patisserie Valerie . Not satisfied with said evil strawberry tart I also bought lemon tarts, raspberry tarts and cheesecakes.All eaten gleefully in the park with a few friends. Cake shared is a few pounds weight gain halved.

My progress with my flower shawl is very slow. I love the blog The Flower bed it is filled with lovely inspiration all using a floral motif.I drool and I ooh and aah always determined to do a few flowers a day but somehow I always find I can't be bothered.Why can't I just start and stick to one project at a time?It will be gorgeous when it is completed but somehow I know it will end its day in the ever growing "I will do that later cupboard " .Do you have one of those places? why cant we just admit we will not be finishing it sometime soon .We all know tomorrow never comes .

A few balls of crochet cotton I'm aiming to have an entire colour spectrum in crochet cotton. I love crochet cotton I dream of making any one of these, simply gorgeous don't you agree think? Sophie's work is stunning. She obviously has alot of patience.

Aside from the flower shawl I have been trying my hand at making crocodile stitch

Give it a go it is great fun..
