A grand day out!

Had a lovely day out with my old friend Sylvia today. We went to the Barn in Scorton for lunch , then took a trip to Barton Grange. On the way home we de-toured to Marsh Mill and called in a lovely shop there named Grace & Favour. I'd never seen it before and it was packed full of goodies. A feast for my eyes!

I'm going to be knitting a few of these because they're so cute and because I can!

I also just bought this knitting pattern to make a baby cocoon. Sylvia saw it on a Facebook page and thought I might like to have a go at one. Definitely! They're very cute.

I've just seen this too and think it's an amazing idea! A little matchbox suitcase to put sweets or a tiny gift in. I love them! Another project to get my teeth into ;)

The link to instructions on how to make them is here

And that's all folks! Off to the Lakes tomorrow for the week-end. Just a bit worried about the weather but whatever happens we'll enjoy it :)
