Why? is DN's most oft-repeated word. He's at that age (four) when he wants to know the ins and outs of everything, and pretty much any statement made to him is followed by the word 'why?' But, fair enough, at four years old you do want to know the answer to pretty much everything so it's quite understandable that he poses this question so often.
I too often ask myself why?, and I'm a darn sight older than DN. Why is there always a huge queue at the Post Office no matter what time of the day I go there? Why are there never enough hours in the day to do everything I want to? Why in the middle of a particularly cold snap is the forsythia bush deciding to burst into blossom?
On my way to town this morning I also saw a camellia with huge buds just waiting to open. Weird!!
And, why are these little iron-on embroidery transfers so darn addictive?
These come from the set of iron-on transfer books I picked up in a charity shop as little while ago. I wasn't sure they would still be good as they date from the 1930s but they work a treat. This is a little terrier picked out in black embroidery. I've just started on the third little embroidery but can't show the other two as it would spoil certain people's Christmas surprises!
Hi, Just popped over from Lucy Locket's blog. That embroidery is so gorgeous! I've just started getting in to these, and I totally agree - they are addictive... keep on stitching!
