A quick catch up from me.
Having unusually mild November, the weather coming now from the east is more of a shock,
some frosty mornings arrived this week and outside is looking rather sad.
Blackbirds cleared most of crab apples from the tree now and there isn't much else happening there.
Indoors our Christmas cactus is rather confused,
but the colour is welcome.
The small log cabin production line has slowed down (see my previous post).
My work room with the sewing machine is in coldest part of the house and so I prefer to stay in a relative warmth on the living room, where I can
quilt and hide under Blooming Springtime quilt.
After finishing the Sunshine and Showers blanket I missed having a crochet hook in my hand,
so I searched for another crochet project.
I came across Crojo Retro by Sue Maton from The Mercerie , so another production line started,
this time with lots of flowers. Quick and easy to do.
This is a good project for using up some of my left over wool.
I have ordered some additional Drops wool
for the leaves and the rest of the blanket, but what with postal strikes, it is taking ages to get to me.
I am just keeping my fingers crossed that Christmas presents ordered online will get here in time.
I hope all is well where you are,
I wish you a good week!
The weather has been grim hasn't it - we had four days of fog which didn't lift last week. So it is lovely to see your gorgeous bright flowers on another grey morning. So pretty. Keep warm. xx
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas cactus was like yours, blooming in November already! The crocheted flowers are sweet and like a promise of next Summer to come.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ulla!
DeleteA postal strike around Christmas time.....how inconvenient! Truly, they pick their moments, don't they?? As for the jumble of bright and happy flowers, they are gorgeous. They will put many a smile into your wintry days. Quite right, sitting in the warmth of your sitting room buried under Blooming Springtime as you quilt her.
