Blue and White Theme

We seemed to have a blue and white theme running through last weekend. Firstly the sky was my favorite shade of sky blue, with the odd fluffy white cloud. A perfect back drop for my favorite white roses.

I call this shot "Sole Survivor". I was supposed to have a swathe of Delphiniums in my garden, but the ****** slugs won out despite the vigilante tactics employed by the hubby!!!
My favorite light cotton spotty jammies attempting to keep me cool . I am officially "hot in bed" according to my hubby, but unfortunately not in a sex kittenish way, more in a peri menopausal woman way.
I picked up my knitting needles again for the first time in a while as I couldn't resist this Rowan Denim cotton.



And this is what I made - I call it Random stripe.

And finally this is what persuaded the Tram conductress to stop the tram so that he wouldnt lose his mother. He was wearing the right colours. Blue and White.

Hey 'hot stuff', love the cushion, clever you.
Wish I could knit, my dear Nan spent many years trying to teach me but it just wasn't meant to be.
Have a great week
((hugs))

Beautiful delphiniums.They're my favourite. Aren't slugs evil?

I know what you mean about 'hot in bed' me too, but not in a good way!

Lovely flowers, like your cushion too - have to disagree about the footy shirt though - I'm a blade through and through! - Natalie x

Lovely pillow, is there no end to your talents?
We did have the most wonderful weather this weekend, hope there's many more like that to come.

I love all your blue and white things - the delphinium is such a gorgeous blue and I love your stripey knitting I thought it was a bag but can see now it is a cushion cover? You always make me smile:)

I hate slugs, I hate them with a passion, they are eating my dwarf peas and have scoffed some other veggies - my beets are disappearing one by one, seems vigilante tactics are necessary, camping out the back all night poised with bucket and spade...

Anyway.

Your blue and white theme is very cheery, I love your cushion, its very St. Ives-ey, and I like the footy kit your young-un is sporting, reminds me of my own 'youth' and saturday afternoons spent in Hillsborough cheering my head off and getting squashed on the Kop when it was still standing only!!

White flowers in the garden are my favourites, especially in the evening light. I also love blue delphiniums, without much success in my garden I must add. Lovely cushion, it would look lovely with Cornishware in the backdrop. x

LOVE the cushion.

Blue and white is such a lovely combination, very clean and summery.
After my interview the other day in Amsterdam I too ended up in a wool shop, they have all the Rowan yarns there. I could not resist them and have started knitting again, after loads of years. Love it. Love the cushion you made, that is gorgeous, did you design it yourself?

I love the blue & white Diane, makes me think of the seaside & my friends apartment on the coast, she decked her lounge out in those colours..so pretty, & don't worry about getting hot, just think of it as " you have your own personal climate" ;0)
