Another Month On

We were told/warned that the 4 to 6 week period after a death is probably the worst part and they could be right though it’s all pretty awful to be honest. The time when the quiet descends, the funeral is past, all the paperwork has been signed, all the meeting with his friends and old…

A Couple of Bank Holiday Finishes

First up is the felted hare. I've added his whiskers and this is him mounted ready to go in the frame. I tried taking a photo in the frame but it's just about impossible because of the depth. Here you can see his ear is free and the whiskers stick out hence the deep frame.…

Dealing With a Blockage

Not as bad as it seems!!! I’m finding the SALs I’m doing, the That Which Does Not Kill Us and the Nordic Band Sampler are actual blockers. I started them as a nice thing to have on a regular basis and perhaps kickstart me into making more again. I walk into my studio space to…

A Bit of Creativity

It's been a long time coming! Along with the wonderful cooler weather and the exhibitions coming up I've actually found a little urge to make something! I made a mess like this... And this... Put in a little soapy water and elbow grease and ended up with these. Then, after some stitch was added by…

Nope, Not a Fan

Of too much heat that is. And we’re due more, even hotter, over the weekend. I know I don’t function well in it but it’s the dogs I don’t like it for more. Very early walks and boredom. Evenings are brain training, nothing strenuous. We are lucky in that we have a huge battery on…

More Stitch

A few years ago we decided to buy leather sofas against everything we ever said about them. We'd had them before and remember how cold and slippery they were. We thought with the dogs it would be an easier, cleaner option. That turned out to be at the expense of our actual comfort. After 4…

Being in the Wars

Well we’ve had a few weeks of strangeness starting with John and a nosebleed. Not just any nosebleed of course. His has to involve blood vessels well up into the sinus cavity and being on two types of blood thinners. Then there was the no response from 111, 999 having a 4 hour minimum ambulance…

Slowly Getting Done

Well I can't quite believe how fast May has gone! Though we've had warm weather we've also had some torrential downpours and massive thunderstorms and lightning. Little Gwyn has taken it all in her stride thankfully. Quick catch up with the Stitch and Crochet a Longs. The Nordic sampler is almost up to date with…
