Not long now

Been waiting patiently

I am and always will be a Second Generation girl

That said I was not disappointed by Star Trek

Not long to wait now for a Trekkie fix

Neighbours

Since we moved to 'The Village' we have been overwhelmed by how welcomed we have been made to feel by everyone. I still love walking to the local shops and being greeted by everyone you pass with a hello or good morning. Our neighbours on all sides are lovely and we count ourselves as being very fortunate. Anyway our neighbour across from us has taken early retirement and I thought a flower was due.

Aren't these fab? She was delighted.

 

I have a serious bread weakness.

I have very weak wrists and find the whole kneeding of bread too much.

Paul Hollywoods soda bread recipe doesn't require kneeding.

Result !

It tastes good too

Heading to airport to pick Hubbie up flight due 9.35pm

First of Many

The wee girlie loved the cushion in a previous post and said she would love one too.

Thus started our first joint sewing venture.

Aimee drew the centre and I embroidered it.

We did a bit of patchwork

Result one happy girl as she has a unique pillow

 

One happy Gran as I hope this will be the first of many joint sewing ventures

Dressing-up

As the utility room and study continue to take shape

I spent time dressing my dresser!!

As we will have a spare room when the study moves downstairs I will be using it as a selfish room.

I bought the dresser a few months ago from the well known auction site for £95

Painted with Annie Sloan paint result !!

I am really happy with it

I just need to get rid of the Colin's " stuff "

New skills

Colin is finishing the utility and study he has decided not to pay a plasterer

He bought a DVD and is now learning a new skill

This may take a while

I love the colour green no matter how I try I can't resist it

I spent the afternoon putting together this wee cushion

The best of all worlds for me hand embroidery a bit of patchwork and it is green

Looks perfect on the rocking chair in the kitchen

Well pleased

This evening is being spent in front of the fire a bit of hand sewing

I am watching 'How To Train Your Dragon'

Never seen it before

Colin continues his quest !
