Now that sentence is usually associated with fine weather
Nae chance here. I can't remember the last time it has rained so much.
It is also far too mild I swear our grass is growing.
I long for crisp clear mornings with the first snowdrops popping through
Anyway I digress
Remember these
It's been very windy and the rain hasn't really halted for 24 hours
In Kincardne we've escaped relatively unscathed
Not so where our oldest daughter lives
The town centre
The bottom of the road where she lives
And breath....... It's all over for another year
Christmas Eve filled with laughter, happiness and love
Christmas Day was breakfast with DD2 son-in-law and the kids
Meal with dad, DD1 and son-in-law
Boxing Day relaxing, sewing, reading, watching Blacklist and eating
Now its tidying my sewing room it's a wreck
I will enjoy every minute of this project
It may take a while
There are 9 embroideries in the Simply Blessed range
They are then joined together using patchwork
I intend to do that but in a more suitable pattern to my personality using Lynette Anderson fabric
I am on embroidery number 3 using Cottage Garden thread which is hand dyed and variegated
Chris the lovely lady from Braidcrafts in New South Wales Australia helped source enough thread from the same dye lot so the embroideries would have same thread throughout. Her kindness shows no bounds.
Relax and sew girl! Relax and sew!
Aimee has outgrown her desk and stool
Murray could be doing with one
He loves Minecraft so grandad thought a remodel was in order
It was the pretty purple colour that is visible on the lower part of the stool in the first picture
A bit of Shrek green paint. RESULT
He is delighted with it
Hard to believe it's that time of year again
Christmas make for my dearest friend
A embroidery pattern by Pearl Louise Krush and the fabric is
Under the Mistletoe by Anni Downs of Hatched & Patched
Perfect colours to match the blue range cooker
Emma Bridgwater to be exact
I love the new Christmas Rose design
I couldn't resist a mug or two especially when they could be personalised
I am hoping that Dad Santa might provided Chrimbo pennies to purchase the teapot
The kids have carved their pumpkins
Murray ...... A Minecraft Creeper
Aimee ..... Jack Skellington
Colin did ours
I love pomegranates. I only buy them late October early November why?
When I was young it was the only time of the year you could get them.
When I do eat one I am immediately transported back to my grannies living room
sitting in front of the coal fire sharing love happiness and the ruby red fruit with her.
Simply wonderful memories
Our bedroom furniture is about to get a facelift
2 chest of drawers with a total of 8 drawers
