small pleasures

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions regarding my itchy bargain wool.  I think felted homewares is the definite go; as soon as I saw "coaster" my mind started racing!  Some nice felted circular mats for under bowls or pot plants, I think....

Meanwhile, there are some things making me happy today...


:: a small posy of geranium, lavender and lemon thyme, all picked from my meagre  patio garden


:: a new tattoo, started on my thigh this week.  Our derby travel team - The South Sea Sirens - are all getting something similar, but mine has the swallows added, and the bittersweet date of my last-ever bout...  even more special, one of my team-mates is the tattooist.  Shading and colour to come in a couple of week...

Hope your Monday is likewise filled with pleasurable things xx

Check out your new tatt! Very cool!

(I have a very large yard but I'm not sure I could even scrape together as many lovely flowers as you have!)

I love traditional tattoos...

and I love that coaster idea as well. As soon as you said "for under plants" I immediately wanted to knit some!
