WOYWW 643 29th September

 This week has been a very difficult one for me and Barney, on Thursday I had to make the decision to put my beloved cat to sleep. She hadn't been well for a while and it was the kindest thing to do. She had been part of my life for 16 years. Barney and I miss her terribly. 

Introducing her to Morse in 2005

A small part of my mojo has come back in that the work table has made an appearance. I have been finishing off the bottle lights. Decided to paint them in the end for coverage.

 

Now the table is in place watch this space as the dreaded 'C' is only round the corner.

Another item I have made this week is this. (Don't look for the mistakes as knitting with dark wool at night is becoming impossible for this aging lady! Hopefully the first of many if only to use my wool stash up. Mittens to follow.

So being Wednesday I am off to my knitting/sewing group. We are now allowed to all sit together as many of our covid rules have been dropped. Even our infections didn't rise over the summer period which is very surprising considering the number of holiday makers that were here. Thankfully we now have our 'corner of enchantment' back for the residents. 

Now to link up with our host for WOYWW Julia at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/  if you wish to know what all this is about just follow the link and perhaps join us one Wednesday.

WOYWW 14th September 2021

 Wow 2 weeks of September gone already. 

I have started to get some of my mojo back this last week, firstly someone gave me some bottles and miniture lights to go inside them to make some Christmas lamps. They were purchased last year but because of lockdown and no Christmas fair weren't used. The bottles took some cleaning and the transfers they gave me are rub on ones that have lost their rub on over lockdown. It will be a trip to the Chinese store to see if they have any stickers to decorate them.

Another craft I have been seeing on the internet is the crochet wind spirals, found some patterns on  You Tube and by taking a bit from one pattern and a bit from another think I think I have sussed the perfect pattern now.

Not easy the hold up and take the photo yourself.

Thought it was going to be a little cooler now we are into September but not really, we had a few drops of rain yesterday. Happened to be the day my daughter came to see me but whats it matter, we managed to have a lovely lunch out and a good natter. I am so pleased she is enjoying her life in Spain and has settled into the Spanish way of life.  

That's it from me tonight I am on my way to bed now. Hope you have a good week and I see I can link up with https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/before I go to bed, one less thing to do in the morning.

 Good morning ladies,

I really must get my mojo back and start making some cards. I thought this last week but temperatures have risen again into the mid 30's, so I need the fans on and fans and card making don't go hand in hand. 

I am off to my handicraft group this morning, at least we have been able to meet since the spring, 4 round a table now we can have a row of tables so we are all together. Will take some photos this week to show the crafts that people are doing.

Hey I managed to visit all last week and comment on all I could register still have trouble with Mary Ann.

Have a good week sorry not photos but nothing on my work desk.

 Good morning Ladies, well I woke up this morning to rain yes rain bliss.

Still not much going on craftwise in this household. 

I have finished the blanket and another item for the charity bag to go back to the uk when my daughter drives back. 

                         

Sorry but that is it for this week short, very short and sweet I need to go out in the rain!

Looking to join up with Julia and the rest of you at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/
