.. has returned to our "normal" xx So we have cooler temperatures and some rain .. its LOVELY xx
So I have been out and about the granddaughter MADE me go to the park to see the ducks! I forgot the camera .. sorry.. I will try and remember next time x
We have a family wedding in 2 weeks AND some visitors from Perth in Western Australia .. come on we HAD to go out for dinner xx lol x
There is ANOTHER cardigan for the granddaughter with wool from the stash on the go...
...you may recognise the colour as it is one of the ones I used for my daughters stripy cardigan x Makes a change not to using a light colour.
A couple of weeks ago I "rescued" 2 very sad looking lily plants from the supermarket .. I thought if they die I am only down a £1 so that's fine! They are LOVING the weather YESTERDAY I had …
and TODAY I have..
SO exciting … it is lovely to go out each morning x
There are other little pockets of colour in the garden..
Hope you are all having your "normal" weather and having fun x

.. Congleton Quilt group are having their exhibition. When they started talking about it .. it seemed SO FAR AWAY... now its less than twelve months!! oh my!
I have not been inspired to make any of the suggested little items for the sales table... but knew I had to contribute SOMETHING!!
So this week I set to and made a few tissue holders...
and then a few more..
and then..
OK THIS STOPS NOW!! lol x I SO want to tell you I have a hole in the scrap box.. or even a dimple.. NO! Cant tell any thing has gone .. hey-ho!
I feel I have done my bit now x Will deliver them when meetings resume in September x
I finished the granddaughters cardigan
.. having made 3 cardigans I had just enough left from 4oo grams to make a pom-pom..
..now I am ready for the next hat that needs one x
Off for a cuppa and think about the next stash busting project .. have to see a reduction sometime!! lol x

… 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
