WOYWW 425

Yes Ladies I am still alive and kicking, sorry I have missed two weeks posting but what can I say with the weather  being so hot nothing has been on my desk that is worthy of a picture or comments.

We are still baking in very high temperatures but needs must and seeing as I have booked a Christmas craft stall in November as well as the Dames in Spain fair I really need to get cracking with some more makes.

So on my desk today is a fabric Christmas tree, I made some of these years ago so thought I would make some more but try to simplify the design. I am going to leave off the decorations on the triangles and also the wooden support across the bottom row of  triangles to make them quicker and cheaper to make.


This was one I made in 2011 hangs perfectly on the light fitting!
Also the felts came out for Christmas stockings!




You have to think of your furry friends when it's hot. My two love this fan blowing on them. Can't understand why they lie on the rug and not on the tiled floor when it's hot.
So that's me done for this WOYWW off  to the doctors this morning had a blood sugar scare so have been seeing the nurse for testing three times a week, the doctor will deliver her verdict this morning. I have tried to control it by diet so hope she is happy.

WOYWW 422

Good morning to WOYWW from a sunny Spain. Our weather is still very hot but not as humid so easier sleeping.

Thank you Lunch Lady Jan for choosing me to receive the lovely bag, up to Tuesday morning it has not arrived, but then I am still waiting for a sun dress by daughter posted 10 days ago. One lives in hope it will arrive before the weather changes haha. I did once receive a Christmas card posted beginning of December in March.

So we have a special desk this week because it is Wimbledon, so a table  facing my television, love my turntable tv table that I can swing round so it can be seen from fireside chair or computer or anywhere in the room.

What is on the table today well still preparing for Christmas. I found all this felt in my stash so thought I would cut out some Christmas stockings and decorate with left over pieces.

























Also made this week three more aprons for the Christmas stall and that's about it. Have been out and about with my friend Terri who is here for three weeks from her home in Lanzarote.

 Today is my sewing/knit and natter group and afterwards we have a lunch, think I have said before we put 1€ into  the pot each week and when we have enough it buys us lunch and tomorrow is the day.

Will leave you with these two photos. I thought the cat was scattering the wood chips on my plant pots, but it turned out to be a female blackbird and my cat sat watching her. The photos aren't very clear because they were taken through mosquito netting on the window. You can just about make out the bird centre front of pot.
