Busy times





Lately, I've been as busy as the bees that are foraging in my garden. The weeding, planting and watering seems to have overtaken my entire existence and I am just functioning enough by evening to make or supervise a meal and then fall into bed! 
No, thats not strictly true, although it feels like it. I do get the washing done, the cleaning done (sort of), and sometimes I even have an intelligent conversation with a family member but those personal sort of soul soothing activities just seem to slip from my grasp. 

I would love to be thinking about what dress ups I will wear to my birthday dinner on Saturday - it's a purple party because thats my favourite colour. 
I need to be thinking and making some secret people gifts for Christmas.
I really must start on the biscuit baking or else there will be mutiny in the ranks!
I really, really wanted to share a quick tutorial for a little crochet gift (that I haven't made yet)! 

But as Toad is so fond of saying, "I'll do it tomorrow......"

  2. Wonderful bee photos! Something about bees and other insects on flowers always draws me to watch (and snap a photo or two!)
