April Showers (written yesterday, photos taken today finally outside)
STOP PRESS - SIGN UPS FINISHED FOR SWAP - THANKS THERE ARE 22 OF US NOW.
Not just rain showers but also lovely sunshine and then there's the hail, frosty mornings and as I speak it's thundering and lightning. The weather is so changeable and there has been little chance to pop outside and take some photos of my knitting. So I'm afraid the colours may not be quite true but here are a few photos of my many WIPS. Please move your mouse to read the caption and there will be more over on Flickr.
Thank you for all your good wishes about my tooth extraction, the gum is healing nicely and I'm not sure if it's an after effect or not but I have a heavy cold and haven't sneezed so much in ages. Pepper has finally gone in for her new bumper this morning so I hope to have her back and like new this week - perhaps I am being optimistic!!!! I have been given a Peugeot 307 HDI to drive which is very nice but, sorry if I offend anyone, it's just not the same.
With me to add to the list there are 19 people signed up for the Words and Bookmark Swap. Please note that sign up closing date will be this Friday 18 April 2008 and numbers are still limited to 30 maximum, so if you are interested please leave me a comment. I will get the questions out Saturday morning with all the finer details and dates etc. Once you return them, the matching can commence.
The feather and fan is stunning. I want some of that Iris now. I'm very excited about the swap - I've never taken part in one before.

You have been busy! Sorry to hear about the tooth extraction, it sounded awfully grim but at least it's over and done with now.
It's taken ages to sort Pepper out hasn't it? Insurance companies huh?
As for the weather, well it certainly is changeable, but the hail doesn't seem to have messed up your tulips.

Your fingerless gloves are stunning - I love the bright yarn, very optimistic and springlike!

Hi there. Glad to hear you are doing better. And that Pepper will finally make it home all ready for a drive in the country.
I like all your Pepper Squares, especially the little cabled ones at the top of the photo.

All those colors are so spring-like.
