The garden is actually looking lovely right now. Some blooms are much later than normal due to a cool spell, but it has prolonged the flowering. Enjoy
For more garden you can check out Our Garden Page. And yes I did clear the ironing basket.

A bit of bee action
I was wandering around the garden this afternoon with the camera, actually delaying the pile of ironing awaiting me, when I spotted some bees having fun in the flowers.

More makes
As usual it's busy around Granny's World, knitting, DIY, gardening, you name it we can always find something to do other than sit still!
Two more hats have been knitted for Miss J, same pattern as before and using up oddments of cotton from stash, buttons from charity shop
In answer to the comments on my previous post - yes, leftover paint and possibly what to knit next, or just somewhere to sit quietly and think, but given what I have said at the start of this post, that's not likely!!
And to keep Miss J on the patio near the house, a gate made out of pallet wood and more leftover paint. Cost nothing other than time.
Now....... what shall I knit next.......... perhaps I'll go sit in the chair

Just in time for the sun
With the wedding now behind us, I have turned my attention to my knitting. A cardigan I started a few weeks ago and also a sun hat.
Yesterday proved to be perfect sunhat weather, so Miss J was more than happy to model her new hat (and cardigan, there was a stiff breeze at times) evidenced by the sunburned faces of the grown ups who weren't wearing hats!
The hat is from the Love Knitting for Baby magazine issue 19 (May) I used Rico Essentials Cotton DK, I added the flower to make it just a bit more girly
The cardigan again in Rico is a Peter Pan pattern from booklet P1049, it looks better on than off.
We were at the Cambridge Strawberry Fair, not sure it's really our sort of scene but Rachel and Jess wanted to go along so we were more than happy to spend a day in their company
After the Fair we went for a stroll through Jesus Green and along Quayside to a pub, a lovely day out even if we do look like belisha beacons
