Last of Lavender and Lace

Hello and good morning :)
Apologies for being late again, but nightshift got in the way and we were quite busy at work. My beauty sleep had to come first because I was absolutely shattered.
Plus I've been busy here at home as well, building up flatpack furniture for my bedroom. After 17 years of life it was time to dump my old chest of drawers and get a new one. Plus I got a bedside cabinet with it as well.  I went for natural pine furniture , called "Scandi" and it looks really nice. I might take a pic when it's daylight, once I packed everything away and tidied up.
I have a lot planned for the couple of days I'm off work. It's time to pack some of the winter clothing away into vacuum storage bags and get the lighter summer stuff out. I don't think I'll be needing thick woolly jumpers, hats and scarves anymore until end of the year.
Some of my plants need repotting , I want to plant some more seeds, do some more painting, work on my crochet project, maybe design another kit ….you get it....so many plans , not enough time to do it in.
But I'm off to a good start this morning. It's only 8 am and I have already cleaned the kitchen , the washing machine is on and I have my coffee in front of me while I write this. Mopping the floors is next, because these damn cleaning fairies didn't turn up again. They must be isolating as well :)
I found this floor cleaner , called "French soap scent" and it reminds me of my childhood. My great grandmother used a plain basic soap for cleaning nd this is exactly the same scent. Isn't it funny how little things like a smell can remind us of good times with loved ones?
And it's a rainy grey morning here, so that will make it easier to stay in and get things done.

I'm also trying to catch up with the 100 day challenge of painting 5 minute miniatures, but I'm getting there .I've fallen behind , but I refuse to get stressed about it.
Here are some I finished.




 I also did some crochet....
...and finished some crochet bunting. Still have to hang it up , but it's gonna look great :)

Anyway... time to give you the last part of Lavender and Lace and then I will have to look on my external drive what kit I will upload for you next.

Until next post and a new kit

Part 5 & 6 of Lavender and Lace

Hello and good evening :)
I hope everybody is having a creative time in isolation. It seems the UK has discovered their love for crafting , because when I went on to the Hobbycraft website nearly everything I was interested in was sold out. It's nice to see so much creativity , but when it comes to wanting to stock up my own supply it plain sucks :)
We had lovely weather here and no rain for weeks, so when it started to thunder and rain about 2 hours ago ,it was very welcome. Nature needs a good watering right now. And it's quite relaxing to listen to the rain while I'm writing this post.
As for creativity... there has been quite a bit going on here.
Firstly Love Crafts have started a 30 day project challenge.
The planner gives prompts and free patterns each day for crafty projects.
I've already finished a few of these.
A Macramé rainbow for "Whatever the weather"
Crochet hair scrunchies for "Round and round"
A bobble stitch cushion cover for "Pattern perfection"
Beaded tassel necklaces for "Monday mood"
...and a crochet basket for the"Storage" prompt.
I have 2 more in progress , but they will still take a bit of work before they are done.

Then the 100 day project started as well. It means for 100 days we do mini 5 minute paintings. Irina on Skillshare does a video each day , so there's a whole bunch of us doing it together.
I have to catch up with 2 of them. Work got in the way :)

But now the downloads again.
