Bits of This and That.

While I'd a moment and it was dry outside (which is one very good thing about all this cold weather), I took a couple of photos of Violet and Snakey (last seen here) before they got too bobbly from cuddles.

As I'm doing some crochet photos, how about a blanket update...

 ...I am currently working on the ends. All the squares were completed last year and I finished joining them together in October (using the join-as-you-go method).

Now I'm almost half way through sewing in the ends. I will finish them before I start the border. My goal is to get the blanket finished by the end of May...

Now to some random happenings from March, before it's too late...

N and I visited the loch again. It was cold, windy and wintry but he still wanted an icecream in the cafe, I had a hot chocolate. We then got lots of great books in the local charity shop but I realised when I got home that I must have left my favourite two there, grrr.

Random baking...

 Banana and choc chip loaf.

Bread (using the breadmaker), was most impressed by how a sprinkling of sunflower seeds improves its appearance.

Girdle scones.

 Banana and blueberry muffins. We've not been doing a good job a eating our bananas and they've been ending up in baking, a good way to go though. On fetching the tin to keep the muffins in...

I discovered three chocolate biscuits from some time ago. Reader, I ate them.

The prospect of returning to Uni in August made me splash out on some stationery supplies from the pound shop.

Snowy garden scenes (from the first lot of snow before the weekend)

 Crocuses & daffodils.

 The lantern.

 Looking to next doors' tree.

 Fatsia Japonica snow covered leaves.

Swingball.

Lastly, a couple of shots from the middle of the month...

 Catkins

 Vintage graffiti

The end.
