From my seat

I'm linking up with Joy who first posted with this idea - from my seat.

On my left is an Ikea kitchen trolley - it never made it to the kitchen - which holds my bits and bobs. There are crochet needles in the Uncle Joe's Mintballs tin, a nail file, iPod, Chinese balls!, scissors, needles, quick unpicks, post-its and much more hiding in the basket. I've been mending so there are cottons, a Kindle and books to read. (I'm still not using a proper book mark.)


On top of the trolley are some of my squares and 2 kitties who purr when you stroke them. There's a bunny pin-cushion there - I saw one like it on a blog I read ages ago. Again I can't remember which.


Above to the left is the door to the en-suite, a master piece by DD from her early days (6 years), the Dyson, another hat, basket and teddies.


From my perch on the bed I have everything to hand for an early evening's hobby time. The puss cats tend to help with the hobbying. I'm still ploughing through the wool making squares for the 2012/13 summer blanket. The basket of wools is emptying slowly. My pink frock is a new to me - I retrieved a pink chiffon scarf from the rag bag at work (it had a hole in it) to put round my straw hat - very co-ordinated! My feet look very dirty - I have had a bath.


To my right is the basket that holds my wools, teddy and a tapestry cushion. I'm leaning on about six cushions and a pillow.


Above me is the window with a view of the changing sky - fine at the moment. Our garden extends to the chimney pot where a fine fern specimen can be seen growing.


Welcome to my new follower. I hope you enjoy popping by.

  1. I think its a great idea to do a post from your seat. I love the idea of having framed your daughters drawing from when she was young, I have bought some frames today from the boot sale to paint up for the very same purpose because I have got loads of my grandchildrens pictures.

  2. Wasn't it a fabulous day in your home town today? We went very early to the seafront near the Tower to read the comedy quotes-what an amazing piece of work! Enjoying our stay at St Anne's now the weather has improved again and OH's cold is nearly done. Catriona

  5. It looks like you were all set and settled in for the night. I hate having to get up and down all the time looking for things I need, very wise to have everything to hand.
