the last finish of the year
My Butterfly's Ball quilt is finished!
I finished it about a month ago (it is probably the largest quilt I have ever made), but the light for taking pictures has been so bad, days have been very wet and grey.
"Such a Ball and such a Feast
No one can forget:
Oh, if both would last, and last,
One more hour, not finish yet!
Some are sleepy, some could madly
Dance away till dawn,
Lovely wings are folding sadly,
One small Ant was seen to yawn.
Now the great big Moon is sinking
And goodbyes are said,
Darkness spreads, and some are thinking,
"Who will light us home to bed?"
my favourite method.
There was quite a long autumn in out part of the world, but in November we were hit by a very cold spell, which thankfully didn't last too long.
The weather is back to being more autumnal, with lots and lots of rain and many local floods.
These are some pictures from our cold walk on Mendip Hills last month.
in the sun
and in the shade
When out and about this week we popped into Stourhead Gardens;
feeling the cold from the lake; sun is rather a rare sight at the moment.
Wrong time of day for Christmas lights unfortunately,
but I do prefer to be warm indoors when it gets dark.
There is always the pub to get warm in !
