WOYWW 434

Good morning one and all, well actually good evening as it is Tuesday night as I find it a rush on Wednesday morning.

So what is on my desk this morning just some peg bags, all slightly different as I couldn't remember how I made them so each one is an improvement on the last. Some with coat hangers and some with a carabiner as I find with coat hangers they tend to blow off the line. 

Had trouble buying cheap children's coat hangers.

Some more aprons and bibs have also found their way into the Christmas stock box.

This machine has found it's way out of its rather tatty box much to the annoyance of QC one of my cats, as it is on my computer table where she normally sits.  

So now she has taken to the other side and likes hang over the edge and kick her back legs in protest.

So that is me done for now nothing very exciting on the desk, peg bags, over locker and cat.

Will be linking up with Julia in the morning. stamping-ground.blogspot.com

Have a good week we still have very good weather here in the low 30's hope it continues for your holiday Neet.

WOYWW 433 (I think)

Good morning everyone, just as we thought the summer was coming to an end with the rains of last week, we have had some really lovely weather, in the low 30's but not too hot and humid. Weather that makes you want to prepare for the winter days haha.

So what is on my work table this morning, well talking of winter days I am still preparing for the Christmas fairs I have booked tables at. Now added another two fairs to my list, one is for a local animal charity. So in the top left hand corner you see a pile of dog bandanas.  Really need to get rid of some of my materials of all sorts, fabric, knitting wool, paper and card you know how it is. Also need to make some money as I am seeing my pension decrease month by month because of the value of the pound.

I have all my templates cut out of hardboard, my late husband made them all for me and they have been a godsend so much better than paper patterns. I brought them all with me, along with no end of material when I moved out to Spain. He also made me a cutting out table that he hinged to the wall so I could fold down when not in use. Often wonder what the people who bought my house thought of it as I left it there.

And lastly my TV knitting, I can't watch TV and not do anything or I fall asleep. These are the beginnings of some tortoises. 

The telephone engineers eventually came on Friday to install the fibre optic so after taking 15 mins to load photos to my blog they now just go woosh and they are there. Can't believe that my little town of Mojacar is slowly catching up with the 21st century. When I first came on holiday here there were more donkeys than cars, now you will be hard pushed to see a donkey.

The local women used to do their laundry at the fountain and the washing would be carried in the panniers.

Well that's me done for this week, now to link with Julia our host at stamping-ground.blogspot.com 

Hope you all have a good week and I will be visiting later when I come home from my knit and natter group.

Good morning friends

This is the view from my house this morning at 7.15am the lovely sun about to rise. We have had an exceptional hot summer this year and even yesterday the temperature in the sun was 38C. It certainly drains you so hence no desk last week.

This is my desk today one cat taking most of it, so I am working on my ironing board. haha and this is all I have to show.

Two Christmas bibs - the one on the left is a new design, just wish I had a baby to try it out on. Very simple with an elastic piece to go over the head.

I will try and get round to visiting you all but can make no promises because I have applied for fibre optic internet comes with complete package of mobiles, landline, mobiles and television and they are supposed to be coming today to install, but this is Spain manana as they say here could mean anytime in the next few weeks.

Have a good week and now to link with Julia our host for WOYWW http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com.es/
