yo-yo's and tulips...

well, I was right

the cake....

 was gone waaaaaay before Monday

custard is too delicious to let it sit and meditate

!!!!!

plus it gets rather sticky

 and Spackle-like

 if not consumed rapidly

but I did enjoy every bite...

and in between custard cake consuming

 I continued to 

yo-yo

not knowing that yo-yo making requires many many 

yo-yo's

and much fabric

and quite frankly that is a good thing 

because then the stash is busted and one can go and 

purchase more

and as I told someone the other day

the whole purpose of making and doing is so that we can go 

and

get more

and get more I did...but just enough as we all know I am frugal in my ways!!!!

and while I was at it

I got

TULIPS

TWO BUNCHES

and I am so happy I did

they make me smile when I see them

and in a house this small

(and in a garden devoid of any because of the  vicious voles)

I see them often

:) :) :) :) :)

I also got very lucky and found two nice colours of what will be described as

doily thread

so you know it isn't embroidery or knitting yarn

I found a deep purple and a rich dark royal navy blue

and the most

outrageous mint green 

which is just perfect for

 this

and any one of these on my

Pinterest page

so if you need something to occupy the time in between doing things

go see what there is and maybe you'll find that one thing you've been looking for

but didn't even know it

and if you haven't joined the pinners there

do join

it is a festival of 

fabulous fabrications of fantastic

proportions

SO...

 before I tie my tongue completely into a tight knot

I will wish you all a good 

whatever it is where you are

hope you have tulips 

somewhere in your life
