THE PLAN...

… to use up the "stash" is continuing. Slow but sure is the method I am going with xx

A Linus quilt is ready to be handed over …


..using up bits and pieces... AND an "odd" piece of fleece ..


.. that I have no idea where it came from .. but it doesn't matter as it is now used x

I did not have enough wool for a full adult cardigan BUT I have a daughter who loves stripes .. and enough for 2 half cardigans (!!)..



.. she has seen the pictures and claimed it .. good as that used up more stash x

The granddaughter has 2 more cardigans...



and another on the way …


….that will be all that wool used up as well … and a ton of buttons x

The garden has been well watered and has not suffered too much from the EXTREME temperatures we have been having...





My helper has been here …





...her idea of watering the garden is to pour the water onto the flags and then splash in the puddles x … sshhh don't tell the water board. Although the hose pipe ban does not start until tomorrow .. and she is using old milk bottles not a hose pipe x

Hope you are all staying safe x

Your helper is precious, and what a lucky girl to have so many new cardigans.

That striped cardigan is so lovely and what a fortunate granddaughter to have two new cardigans. You have really had the heat wave. Your plants are hanging in there despite the conditions! I so enjoyed the pictures of your "waterer." That is one busy gal and I'm with her and puddles!!!!

S will keep very warm in that great cardigan. It has been extra cold where they live. I don't envy B being out in the cold most days at work.

Puddle play is the best time Grandma! She one gorgeous girl.
