Grumpy Guts.

Sorry I have been away...been very down in the dumps and was deciding if I was going to carry on blogging.....
 But at last the sun has come out and cheered me up a bit...as did sitting eating chips looking at the sea....


 Even did a bit of crocheting al fresco.......
 Finished the scarf I was making for mother...........
 What do you think of this bag of mixed wool I got from a charity shop........
 Included was a skien ....that has been waiting 65 years for someone to make something from it........
 And a skien of the finest cob web silk..........
 Couldn't be bothered to cook one night so we had fish finger sandwiches....I am such a domestical goddess....was yummy though......
 Fallen madly in love with my new brogues....I am a little bit sad..........
 Also become enchanted with my swan vase...which I find sweet...but Mother declared it "tat"
 Transformed this yellow pine dining table.....£3 from the auction.......out came the faithful chalk paint and wax......
 And the black board paint!

 I found this gorg new double bed spread.....who doesn't love roses x
 I also sewed an apron dress! Now I have only ever sewn a quilt so this foray into making an actual garment was quite exciting! I almost fancied myself on The Great British Sewing Bee!!!!!!

Its to use at my knitting club as I am  now helping out x


Up went my new picture wall..........


They say less is more.......but I say...sometimes more is more...although I  think I can stop with the pictures of floweriness now!
Hope you are all ok x

  1. I know exactly how you are. I have been feeling the same. We all need a bit of sunshine, and ever since the sun has been out I have been digging the garden which is very unlike me as I would rather be indoors doing embroidery or patchwork or trying to create something.
