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:
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!

Monday is the one day of the week when we can have a Proper Day Off.

Hope that you are having a lovely hol. The little coat is gorgeous. Has it been made for some-one in particular? Luv JX
ReplyDeleteHate Mondays...But would probably like them much more if somebody fixed me a smoothie like this too :) The little coat is beautiful. Love the little flowers!
ReplyDeleteThe little cardigan is gorgeous.I still cant follow a pattern as far as crochet is concerned though. I'm sure I wouldnt be able to do what you have done.
ReplyDeleteI love your labels. I always meant to get some for my cakes but never did.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely comments - if you haven't tried crocheting, you must - it is sooo relaxing and it grows so quickly.
ReplyDeleteJan, it is intended for my new niece.
I do remember the cakes Rose - yum!
