Ahhhh, it's nice to back behind the keyboard again! Not that the last couple of weeks haven't been fun, but my soul has been longing for a little peace and quiet and some gentle-paced knitting & blogging time. We've been out and about lots thanks to the lovely weather – more summery than spring-like and the kids have had a pretty active time visiting friends, playing in the garden and going to various parks. We also spent most of last week at my Mum & Dad's where they had great fun.

Now that Toby is back at school (and Amy goes back on Wednesday) I'm reacquainting myself with my pointy sticks and beloved Cath Kidston knitting bag. I'm working on some toys for the wonderful Mahar Drygoods and once these are done I'm hoping to get some done for my little shop.

Thanks to everyone who has emailed or left comments here over the last 2 weeks – I'm still working my way through an email backlog (not helped by the fact my ancient mac no longer supports hotmail but a new computer is hopefully on it's way so here's hoping you'll bear with me).

Thanks too to Anne at Bunny Tales who wrote some wonderfully complimentary words about my blog. I'll be taking up her tag in the next few days.

The last of the thanks, but by no means the least, goes out to the lovely Alice at Raspberry who sent a beautifully packaged, gorgeous corsage and wonderful handmade card – thanks so much Alice, I will be treasuring both – they are a fab treat to arrive home to.

No time to write much, have little people to keep occupied!

Happy Easter to you and yours from Daffodil and me x
