- This beautiful bunch of protea buds was given to me a kind neighbour, I'm hoping they'll open up fully to reveal their gorgeous feathery interiors.
- More good books to read, I have just finished Beach House Renuion and am now reading Beautiful Exiles a novel about war correspondent Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway.
- They book club I run at my library, has a curated theme set each fortnight. Last time the theme was Venice, so novels set in Venice, travel memoirs, and Venetian cook books were picked for the group to read. I read this cook book, and decided to bake the Venetian Yellow Polenta Cookies from it. I also found it online too, so if you feel like making them it's here.
- I've started making the next Christmas decoration for the annual 12 Days of Christmas swap my sister and I do. This is No. 9, the drummer drumming. Pattern from mmmcrafts. Fiddly little bodies to make and I'm not looking forward to giving him a face.
Today, the sun is shining and we have a lovely mild spring day, I'm off to spend a little time in the garden, before hopefully doing some sewing later on. Have a wonderful weekend.
Those proteas are fabulous, I have a florist friend who grows these and they are wonderful. Enjoy the sunny weekend of gardening, stitching and lots of reading by the looks!
