How to start a Monday morning.

Good Morning Lovely Readers and a warm welcome to my new followers...

Do you like Mondays? When I am holiday I just LOVE them. Do you remember this song?



Mr Thrifty woke up feeling below par this morning and so I thought we would start the day with a smoothie:

 Here's what I put in:

pears
oranges
apples
strawberries
cranberries
bananas
ginger
organic apple juice

(just what I had in the house)

But I also added to following superfoods for a buzz.......

maca
lucuma
he sho wu
bee pollen

If this doesn't get us buzzing I am not sure what would!




Remember me showing you this book?


It is simply divine...........







and look what I finished.


The cardi ended up longer than I expected but I think it will make a gorgeous summer coat...


Nicki Trench puts little pompoms around the neck but because I made it in 100% cotton I thought they might be a little hard, so I opted for flowers with a tiny button in the middle. The yarn is Wendy Supreme luxury cotton double knit and costs £3.99 for a 100 gram ball. The first size (shown here) takes 2 balls so costs under £8. I found the buttons in a saver store for £1 for a large pack - I think they are meant for scrap-booking, but I have found them just perfect for little garments. I adore crocheting - can you believe I only learnt in January?


Enjoy your Monday ..... I am positively buzzing after my smoothie so I will be!

Love Mrs Thrifty xxx


Thank you to those of you who noticed my senior moment .... I lose all track of days when I am not at school. Happy Tuesday!
