I hope everyone has been able to enjoy the belated summer sunshine over the last week. It’s been lovely in Norfolk which has been quite a relief with two little boys to entertain! As you can imagine, not a lot of Planet Penny business has been undertaken over the past few days, we’ve had a brief pause for some fun and picnics on the beach…
…with sausages on the menu of course! And eating in the garden late in the evening has been lovely.
So with no real brain power free to think about crochet and patterns, I’ve been needlefelting some bases to be worked on when it all goes quiet in a couple of days, with no little boys to entertain. I’m very aware my new Etsy shop hasn’t yet featured any needlefelted pieces, and I have had several requests for my little lovebirds…
…so these are next on the agenda.
So I hope you’ll understand why this post is just a short one, as I’m snatching a few minutes on the last day of the visit to link up with Handmade Monday over on Handmade Harbour.
I’ll be back soon though!

sand-covered sausages on the beach…yum!
So cute and would look lovely on that tree that goes up once a year, not saying the ‘C’ word
Oh my word those birds are gorgeous! Sounds like you have had a lovely week enjoying the sunshine
sounds like you’ve been having a wonderful time enjoying the sunshine with your family, how lovely
your love birds are so so pretty, they will no doubt make a popular addition to your Etsy shop! x
Make the most of the sunshine while it’s here! Those little birdies are super cute.
Glad you are enjoying time with your family. It’s good to have a break from time to time
Aaah, the love birds are so pretty and I can understand why they are so popular. Sounds like you have had some lovely YOU time and Higgins seems to have enjoyed himself too. Hope you have a good week.
Penny… we need you to go down to Dover so we can see the bluebirds in situ! I love how cheery they look and so full of hope
How lovely to enjoy time on the beach. Let’s hope for more sunshine (it’s rained most of today here). How adorable are your lovebirds!?! x
Yep, those love birds would sell very well on Etsy!!
I really like the birds. The combination of the pink and blue are really cheery. Hope that you have another good week
I love the little birds, they’re so cute. Enjoy your time with the kids on the beach, they soon grow up xx
Very sweet little birds!
Beautiful birds, and doesn’t Higgins look handsome on the beach! Bet he enjoyed the sausages!
Your blue birds are beautiful, they’d make a perfect wedding gift. Thanks for sharing. Ali x
Ooohhhh lots of sun! Hope it continues as i’m heading your way in about 4 weeks!
Wow, what lovely birds. I’ve just blogged about my first attempts at needle felting (http://sayitsays.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/new-year-new-craft-3-needle-felting.html) – I’m now uber impressed by anyone who has mastered this craft!
Summers here in the UK are so short I think its worthwhile trying to make the most of them! I’m sure you’ll be back to work soon enough!
Those are beautiful and adorable at the same time. Now that I’m home for awhile, I might have to figure needlefelting out. Maybe.
Those little birds are sooooooo sweet. I’m definitely going to have to go take a look at your etsy shop after i’ve checked the HM pages.
oh they are super cute. I’ve never tried needlefelting but it seems to create amazing pieces.
And I’m very jealous of your picnic on the beach.
The lovebirds are super cute!
And very lovely it all was too. Thanks again, from me and from the boys. x
Lovely to have time with those boys Penny and actually be able to go outside without getting soaking wet.
Lovebirds look great no wonder they get asked for.
