In the pink ....

So I've come to the end of my second week of walking to work and I have to say that I feel good.  Not good in the I've-saved-lots-of-petrol-and-used-up-calories-good, but really healthy good.  Who'd have thought it?  Not that it's made any difference to my weight; my aft is looking a little leaner but my amidships and fo'c'sle are unchanged.  To mix my metaphors, I am still not so much apple shaped as orchard shaped.

I'm extra impressed with myself for walking because of the change in the weather.  When I was thinking about this in March and April, the weather was dry but there hasn't been a day in the last two weeks when I haven't taken my umbrella with me and quite often had to use it.  The British weather knows that Wimbledon is almost upon us!


On to crafting - pink this week.  I was interested at the response to my post with the felt daffodils which prompted a lot of traffic through google images.  There must be many of you out there who want to sew felt flowers so I thought I'd show you some more, also a pattern from my Dryad leaflet.

This pattern for freesia-type flowers is actually the one I used for the centre petals of the daffodils.
