All for me!

Today  has been an exciting day in the Belgina household and it's mainly been because of things for myself!

First my wall tree is up.  I have dreamt of having a giant tree on the wall with branches that sweep over the piano for over a year.  I finally found a decal I like, because I miss the skills to actually paint one, not too long ago.  It arrived 4 days ago and I have finally got round to putting it on the wall.  It looks great and the children absolutely adore it!  All we need now is some picture to fill up the blank white squares.

Then I finished my Paiyton Cloche Hat .   I love it.  It's a gorgeous shade of yellow and made of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino aran weight yarn.  Most importantly: it fits over my ears.  I hate hats that don't cover my ears and this one certainly does.  I'm not too sure the yellow is me, but I have been assured it does look good.

The next thing that happened was the arrival of some more fabric that will become another reversible pinafore for the tiny one.

And finally there was the triumphant cackling of one of our hens that announced that another one of them had started laying again after a break over winter.  We have barely had any eggs from them since we bought them in June,  so I hope they continue or they may be sent to off to pastures new.

All in all not a bad day, for a day that actually felt a little like a lazy day!

ETA: I wrote AND posted this 5 days ago and found it didn't post and reverted to the original draft.  Very infuriating.  I hope it works now!
