A Very Special Day

It's been a very busy few weeks here at Flutterby Patch.

Much plotting and planning has been going on.

Cakes have been made and scrumptious edibles goodies prepared and all because..........

on Sarurday 20th March, the first day of Spring......

my dear son married his sweetheart.

 Promises were made and rings exchanged

Hymns were sung and prayers were spoken.

And then the happy couple joined their wedding guests for the celebration.

The scrumptious goodies were consumed

and everyone made merry.

 And so, two days later, it all seems rather quiet.

The excitement has waned and suddenly I've realised that Easter is less than two weeks away.

But fear not..... my needles are out, my yarn is prepared and and the little scene above just might give you a clue about what I'm planning to knit next.

Until next time,

Eli 

Pictures were taken from Jill Barklem's wonderful 'Summer Story' in which Poppy Eyebright married Dusty Dogwood.

Congratulations to your Son and his new Bride. I am so glad the day went well, Spring weddings are very special(I was married in April so I am biased!)
Looking forward to your next knitting project.

Dear Eli,
Congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law! I am so happy for them, and for your whole family! It sounds like you prepared a lot of yummy things to eat!!! Oh, those images are so darling!!! I am going to have to get her books. I just love sweet artwork like that!

I am guessing you are going to knit an egg cozy! I look forward to seeing what you do, as I know it will be beautiful. I love the spring vignette you created… pink roses, a sweet chick and something to knit makes for a wonderful Spring day!
Much love to you dear Eli,
Paula

Hi Eli

Many congratulations on gaining a daughter-in-law. It sounded like a wonderful day. I have been thinking about you this afternoon as I was pruning my roses (I know it is very late!) and battling with some stubborn weeds!! I am looking forward to see what you are going to create for Easter.
Big hug Eli, Carol xoxox

Congratulations and best wishes and all that. Glad you had such a grand day. Apologies for not being around for a while, real life got in the way of blogging.

PS I just bought Lucy Lavender from your Etsy shop :) She's a real cutie!

Wishing the lovely couple all the best!
