Holidays are Over

January 31, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 18 Comments

After a glorious 6 weeks leave from work, it is back to the usual routine tomorrow when I return to work and the kids start a new school year.

I always try and have home baked goodies for the lunch boxes. This week I stocked up the freezer with some Anzac Biscuits

and some Carrot Cake.

I have been busy working on some secret projects this week for a swap and a publication. One involves these sweet crocheted flowers (I see more of these in my future – I haven’t crocheted in years and it was a fun project)

and this is the other.

 

Thanks also to Suzie from Little Busy Bee for our award. Pop on over for some quilty inspiration!

    Oh i love those crochet flowers, I’ve just taught myself to crochet and would love to know how you make these flowers.
    I hope going back to work won’t be to much hard work for you after 6 lovely weeks of holiday.

    Yum, I didn’t know Anzacs could be frozen. I always think that if I make them then I have to eat the whole batch in a few days!

    I hope you ladies have (or had – it may be over now?!) a wonderful last day of holiday!!! Anzac sounds intriguing, will be searching that later!
    Can’t wait to see your project using the flowers…I love to crochet, but it many times gets put behind all my other projects!

    the crochetted flowers are so cute. I wish I knew how to crochet. My grandma is a master. Maybe I’ll have to take lessons.
