Are we really at number twelve already? I can’t believe how time flies, and it seems to go even more quickly when counted off as a weekly Happy Friday!
So what’s been happy this week for me?
Well, you might have seen I wrote and published a pattern for little crochet eggs (if not, it’s the post before this one) and that’s always a moment to celebrate. It’s quite hard work!
Historically, Easter for me has been a bit low key. In my years as a single parent that was when my offspring went off to their other family so I would be frantically trying to distract myself from missing them madly. But this year I have a visit from my darling daughter and other half booked for Sunday so a tea party with dear younger son and daughter in law and adorable smallest grandson is called for. and then the following weekend the ‘South Coast Mob’, my eldest and family, are booked for Easter. So decorations are called for, and cake and eggs and all sorts….very exciting!
I’ve found the Easter tree decorations…
…which I haven’t seen for ages, and I’m looking forward to adding in a few more crochet eggs and other pretties over the next week in the run up to the Easter weekend.
I had the loveliest email from Linda, who bought Miranda Mouse in aid of Comic Relief. It’s amazing to think she now all the way across the ocean and living in Arkansas!
“Miranda arrived yesterday evening, perfectly safe. Oh my gosh!! I LOVE her. She is amazing! I am so glad I have her… Your work is perfection. She has such a personality—I find myself talking to her and actually waiting for her to respond. 😎 As you are, we are having down pouring rain and wind. As soon as the sun shines, Miranda will send you a photo of her new home. I think she will like it here. She is making friends with a couple of her roommates and they are getting ready to have tea.”
Miranda couldn’t have gone to a better place!
So, how has your week been? I love reading your Happy Friday posts. (By the way, I do leave a comment on every post, but sometimes it seems the comments get eaten so if you don’t see one, I tried, but failed!)

Your Easter plans sound lovely ???? my Easter will be quiet as my daughter is still in the usa but looking forward to her being home in May. Planning loads of crochet in bright spring colours and maybe a. It of choc to keep my spirits up ????
Leaving a comment using an iPad is obviously not a huge success. Those ???? are supposed to be smiley faces and hearts!
Sounds like you have a very Happy Easter coming up! The tree decorations are gorgeous. I don’t normally decorate for Easter, but seeing all the lovely ideas for decorations makes me think I should!
Sounds like you have some lovely quality family time ahead.
I like the egg pattern, I’m going to ask my pet crocheter to make me a couple. She’s working on a queen size blanket at the moment which makes me smile every time I see how it is growing.
I’ve never seen Easter tree decorations or even thought about having a tree…hmm weekend mission coming up!
