Well folks, it's been a busy old week with one thing and another. Just doing this and that and not really achieving anything in particular.
Sunday was a frustrating knitting day. I seemed to spend more time pulling back than actually knitting.
Monday I braved torrential rain and went shopping
Tuesday turned cold and before going to bed I filled my trusty hot-water bottle.
Wednesday I received the wonderful news that my oldest school friend had become a grandma for the first time.
Thursday night was cold again and this time I filled the trusty bottle and put an extra blanket on the bed....very snug!
Friday was a 'shopping for the weekend' day and as usual hubby and I got seriously frustrated by the huge number of pedestrians who step off in front of the car and wander aimlessly across the road.
Saturday. Out with the camera and take a few pics for the blog.
In case you hadn't guessed I'm a bit of a Mabel Lucie Attwell fan. Her innocent world of chubby children and fairies is one that has always appealed to me!
A very lucky fairy band
Got a lift to fairyland
If I had a fairy
How jolly it would be.
I'd bathe him in a tea cup
And take him walks with me.
I don't have many Lucie Attwell books but love my 1944 annual and there are 51 more to collect!
Before I go I must thank Julie at Yummy Miniature Foods who kindly gave me an award. Do call in and look at the tiny doll sized morsels this talented lady makes, they are amazing. It is something I have always wanted to do so I'm very envious of her skills.
Until next time,
Eli
What is it about Mabel Lucy Atwell, that sweet little chubby cutie. I just love her!

Hi Eli
So beautiful and totally sounds like my week - flat out and finishing nothing - even my knitting seems to be going backwards rather than fowards :)
I LOVE the snuggly under the cover pic that is totally my favourite
Hope you didnt run over and pedestrians hee hee and have had a more relaxing week
Janine :)

Oh Eli you are so so on target with that MLA pic of the girl with the trusty hot-water bottle. Where oh where would any of us gals be without out beloved hotties!!!!
Just more evidence that we are definitely singing off the same hymn sheet.

Dear Eli,
How adorable! I love all the sweet images! I am glad to know that I am not the only one that spends a lot of time pulling back on my knitting. Coming from a pro like you, it puts me more at ease!
Blessings,

Dear Eli,
You always share such charming images and I think it is most delightful that those images match your activities perfectly!!! Oh, those chubby children and fairies are so sweet, and I love the little poem, too. The dishes and book are wonderful!
Love, Paula
