guerilla goings on

You know I had lots of those little crochet hearts lying around, that I wasn't sure what to do with, well I found the perfect use for them ...

... my second guerilla yarn attack!

The good girl inside me still gets a little freaked with the whole idea of yarn bombing, I really need to get a grip, but in the meantime a touch of inspiration from the lovely Meredith gave me the push I needed - Heart Bombing day, perfect.

Last time my daughter Nellie helped me with my bomb, ever since she has been begging me to do another so her help was enlisted again (although as my friend pointed out, I may be less happy with her enthusiasm for rebellion in 10 years time...). Today was a school day so we also had my boy and the little minx in tow. They were less willing accomplices, Elsie was causing her normal chaos, whilst Freddie was mortified at being involved in something that he considered illegal and spent most of the time loitering in bushes for fear of being spotted by his friends on the school run! It was impossible to go unseen, it was school pick up, streams of people were filing out of the playground so I just had to pretend to act cool, like I do this kind of thing all the time, no-one needed to know that my hands were clammy and I had broken into a cold sweat ...

Anyway I survived, and it looks rather pretty, doesn't it? Pink and feminine, just right for the season ... although I'm not sure my kiddos were as impressed ...
Freddie: 'OMG mum, they are so cheesy!'

Nellie: 'What does lover boy mean?'

I wonder if they will still be there in the morning ... maybe some commuter, realising he had forgotten and fearing his fate, grabbed them on the way home as a love token for his wife ... who knows!
