Spring blanket

I've been picking out colours to start a spring blanket. Yellow and cream have stuck in my mind as I like the colour combination and yellow is such a joyful colour...

I'm currently at the ironing and placing squares together stage at the moment. It's very laborious but I'm enjoying the process...

I've also been baking this week, making a carrot cake. This one is a definite favourite to bake, it's a very dense cake but very tasty. My sister and mum really liked it...

Baking cakes and doing some sewing have been keeping my mind off the building work still on going at the house. It's also cheering up this wet and windy weather we're having in the UK at the moment....

This is my little brass sewing kit. It's from SewKnitVintage  a lovely shop on Etsy which sells vintage sewing kits. 

My plans for today are housework, a food shop and some baking if I can fit it in. Wishing you a lovely weekend :)
