lost gardens of Heligan , picture heavy, word free

 

TDF day 11 a little spinning, a little stitching

 

Todays spinning, this fibre was prepped at least a year ago and there isn't a label with it so I'm having to guess that's its yet more Jacob ! I plan to ply it tomorrow.

Other than that, I've been stitching ,mainly to try out the new glasses that my optician has had made up for me specifically for stitching and hopefully they will help with lacemaking. I'm now able to work comfortably on 18/36 count which means that I will not have to pack the magnifier when we go away.

This is the 2020 Stitch along from Linen and Thread that I started last week, great fun to stitch.

I'll leave you with a couple of photos from the garden, speak again tomorrow xx

Forgot to show you my Daffs

Thanks Karen :-)

Lowdham show, Part one, the flowery bits!

I've just got back from Lowdham horticutural show ( near Nottingham) where there guild have been spinning in public and avoiding the rain.(just!!) I grabbed the chance to disappear into the show Marquee for a few mins to look at the flowers and veg.

Look Hairy leaves!!

And they had a lovely section for childrens entries.

And more flowers !!

 and spikey thingies!!

coming soon, part two...the sheepy bits !!

Having a panic

Its Wikkidknitters first craft fair tomorrow and we are both running round like mad trying to make sure that everything is ready for the big day. Every time either one of us thinks its sorted, a text comes through saying have you got ......

One of Wikkidknitters shawls will be raffled on the stall to raise funds for one of the featured charities and last night I was running round Morrisons knowing that I had seen raffle tickets for sale there somewhere but they were on the top shelf and I kept missing them. Then I had to chose which colour!!!

So I'm taking a few mins to think about calm thought before entering the fray again and to help everyone concerned, here are some pictures taken after the rain last weekend in my Mums beautiful garden.

 

Have a great weekend and I will let you know how everything went :-)
