smallhobbit | Five Happy Things

therealsnape posted about five things which make her happy, so I'm pinching the idea.

1. Progress is being made on mini Hobbit's cardigan - I have finished the mermaid on the right front, which means the rest of the front is straightforward (so long as I remember to do the shaping) so I can ease up for a while, if I want to concentrate on other things.

2. Similarly I've prepared all the cross stitch cards I need to do for the rest of this year, and can start work on those for early next year. And because of that, and since it's been a quiet weekend I've made good progress on the cross stitch for my mother and should have that ready for when I see her on Thursday.

3. I'm due to meet a good friend at the end of this month - we haven't seen each other since pre-covid. Also, the same week I'm hoping to meet someone from the Shedunnit book club who will be in Gloucester.

4. SM made blackberry jam yesterday, which is delicious. That was the end of last year's blackberries, just in time to pick this year's crop.

5. I now have five New Adventures posters on the bedroom wall. This isn't specific to today/this week, but I can see them every day and they always make me smile.

Oh, those things sound lovely, indeed. That cardigan will be such a beauty when it's finished, and seeing old friends, and bookclub friends, even, is a wonderful thing!

Love this post, we've been discussing things to do with blackberries, too, at today's friends' dinner.

Thank you very much - and thank you for the inspiration. Clearly blackberries are a popular theme (we freeze them so we can use them throughout the year).
