Hello everyone,
I visited a doll house show with D and my hubby this week. It has been a while since I worked on my own miniature house, and the show has given me new inspiration. I chatted to a lovely lady who exhibits at the show and whom I have met several times. She encouraged me to progress with my own house, and I returned home with renewed enthusiasm, along with a few purchases. D and I will report the progress and show pictures soon.
At the beginning of March we celebrated St David Day, the patron saint of Wales. Today, 17th March, it was the turn of Ireland to celebrate. St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.
In Birmingham city centre, which is about 9 miles away from us, there has been the annual St Patrick's Day parade which has taken place for many years. This year the theme was Irish myths and legends.
Many people will have been enjoying the festivities, traditions and cultures of Ireland this weekend and while others may have been dancing , drinking, wearing green or a shamrock, here is my contribution to the day. This little knitted leprechaun stands about 15cm tall and is clearly keeping a check on his pot of gold. He is made from some scraps of yarn and I used this pattern.
Here he is, joining the other decorations under my tree.
Whether you have been celebrating today or not I hope you have had a great weekend and the week ahead is also a good one x.

Last night I tried very hard to add a few pictures of the current state of the doll house but they were very grainy and I have had better luck this morning. Now I just need to get on with more decorating 😊
Enjoy the rest of today x
