Good morning ladies another beautiful day here in spain. Firstly the moon Monday evening and second sunrise this morning.
Now the reason why we are here, my mojo hasn't really returned since the Christmas holidays, so I have been crafting items that don't need a great deal of thought like my little 'Teddies for Tragedies'. The only thing now is I have to find a way to get them back to the UK. Postage is out of the question from Spain as it will require tax payable and as no one is coming to visit so I can't ask people to take them back to post. Hopefully by next month we may see some holiday makers returning.
Even the jigsaw hasn't progressed much but I am not giving up on it and will finish it think this must be the most difficult one I have ever attempted.
I am off to my sewing/knitting group in about an hour, we are allowed 4 to a table inside and 6 outside but it is a little cold to be working outdoors. The bar owner is very co-operative and places two tables of 4 with another one of 2 in the middle of them so we don't have to shout (we make enough noise anyway).
Have a good week and I will see if I can find my mojo for this coming week.
Now to link with Julia https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and read what you have all been up to.
That puzzle looks like slow going - but there is progress so all good! The bears are so cute, especially in a group. I feel your pain on the shipping - no US visitors for us has severely hampered my crafty stash delivery. Wish I had a solution for both of us. Hope your teddies find a home soon!

I expect the bar owner is pleased to have a small crowd of you knitters to attract others to his outside! I always think a crowd begets a crowd! Am sure you’ll enjoy it, my sister and I meet up at the care home to visit Mum on a Wednesday and we talk so much...you can tell we’ve been in a lockdown and not seen many people! I didn’t realise there was a tax on parcels from Spain, I thought it only applied to items of specific value. Blimey. You’re right not give up on it, but that puzzle really does look fiendish, what an achievement it will be at some point!! Good thing about our hobbies, they do just sit quietly and wait for us!
ReplyDeleteIf the teddies are a gift to the charity, do you still have to pay tax? I thought it was on purchases but could be wrong. They’re fab by the way! We had a lovely moon as well and a very high tide, 9.2 metres, it was lovely sitting down the beach last night.
