COLD & WET BUT STILL BUSY

Thursday, Friday & Saturday brought us rain - lots of it - around the 50mm mark.

The rain brought us cold - VERY COLD - down to the zero mark at nigh

 and only about 9 during the day.

The cold brought the WIND - I estimate at -10!!! - that is what it feels like when it

cuts through you anyway!

Maybe not as cold as many places are at the moment.... but we have ben spoilt this winter and had reasonably warm weather for June.

So there has been no gardening, no walks. just no outside activity.

But I have been busy inside. I have vacuumed, cleaned, washed and dried. And I have cooked meals for 5 days which means I don't have to tax my brain to think about what we are going to

have for tea each night this week!

 

I have also been busy playing with yarns - all sorts of yarns.

And thus my market stall will be looking much better in a few weeks.

 

 

Some time spent mixing and matching until the selection looks good together

 they laying them all out and pinning in place I move onto the fun part

 - sewing like a crazy woman all over the washaway

 

 

once I have calmed down it is into a bath filled with warm water to rinse

and after doing that twice, it is onto the clothes horse to dry and then

they become these.................

 

beautiful scarves

 

each time I make a new batch I think I will keep this one or that one

for myself but as yet I haven't

 

Now sitting on my sewing table are the fabrics for not 1 but 2 tote bags

 

Both are gifts and I am really looking forward to making them.

I made bags for several years and sold at markets - to the point that I never wanted to make another again!! Maybe it is because I have plenty of time to make these and I have chosen

to do them because I want to that I am looking forward to making them.

 

That's it from me for today - I hope wherever you are that your days are nice and sunny!!
