Hey-Ho its a way to get to know them  x lol x Cannot have it all ways x .. it all makes life interesting x

The boys have a big garden to run around in, and we have some wonderful views from our windows..

..mind you, to-day it looks like this..

I began and finished a book..

The grandchildren have a gnome..

and a bat..

My diamonds are coming along ..

HERE IN THE..

 ... UK we are currently being BATTERED by back-to-back storms. The advice is to STAY AT HOME for your own safety. SO, I decided to make a start on working on the paper-pieced diamonds.

Having found all these diamonds I have NO idea what the original plan for them was!! I have been laying them out and trying different patterns/ and have now decided this ..

.. is the way to go . As I now have the time I have been wishing for ... I am away to go x

NOW I just need to work out how many starts will be in each row.

Fun times x 

Stay safe out there x

THIS MORNING...

 .. I was looking for "something" and found this bag..

When I opened it I found these..

LOTS of prepared paper-pieced diamonds, which I had completely forgotten about. With my memory sharpened I then went in search of .. this bag

Which as you can see is ALSO full of diamonds x 

I now have a hand piecing project to work on .. OH! For some time! lol x

Hope you are all staying safe 

ps. I did not find the thing I  originally went looking for !
