Portinfer,Guernsey

I thought I might try making a wall hanging

using  these photos for inspiration.

                                           I had taken a trip on the bus around the Island.

                                              This is where I decided to stop for lunch.

                                          The Granite had such a verity of colour.
                                             I maybe will have a go.

Wayland Show

Wayland Show is next I am unable to attend as my  Granddaughter in being christened on the day.

Most of the Town Hall crafters will be going and taking the gazebos.

Thy have said thy will take my Handbag for me.

I hope the weather will get better by then as it is quite a large show.

Rain like stair rods

The weather over the week end at Southwould was quite nice on Friday.

Saturday and the rain came down like stair rod with flooding on some of the roads,

where the drains could not cope. it also managed to come through the windows of the hall. 

 Sunday started sunny but changed in the afternoon.I felt sorry for anyone on Holiday.                                  

There were very few people about but this year the fair was not very busy.

I did manage to sell some kits for making Christmas tree decorations.

The visitors to the Latitude Festival must of had a rough time with all the mud.

A loverly day in the garden

The weather was fine so I decided to get

the grass cut as it has started to grow

again.Then to get on with the weeding

as thy to have decided to grow.

other thing are coming along nicely

but I never get any grapes as the bird's

think I grow them just for them.




The peas are getting fat, not long

now.

Then I found I had to pick

Blueberry's again.

I have had such a good

picking from just the one


bush.the other's are later

as should the raspberry's.

I do so love the summer fruit's.

Now to have some for my tea.

Cat's Love Quilt's

It ended up with me making

the two cushion cover's and

this loverly cat.

A few Quilt's to sit on.

cat tenplate and think I will

make a book cover with

that on.

Great Ellingham

Vintage pillow slips

I have been given some vintage pillow slips.

Thy have had Tatting added to the edge.

I have now appliqued a bird on a branch.

I will try and sell them at my next fair.

How it Rained

We maneged to get the gazebo up and the cars unloaded before it rained.The tables were arranged so they would not get wet.First the wind blow and we hung onto the gazebo ,then the rain followed and it was cold after which the sun came out.That mixture of weather went on all afternoon.By the time we packed up it was not raining but everything now has to get dried off.
There was a lot of entertainment for the children some of which they did themselves.
A nice afternoon shame about the weather.

Eccels on Saturday

I have just booked a stall at Eccels Fate and will go with Leanne in the gazebo.I just hope the rain that has been forcast is not until after we have packed away.

Pensthorpe

Just a few photos of my part of the gazebo.

The weather was kind not to hot or wet.

Just a bit windy.

We meet lots of nice people

Some are going to find us at

Southwold in July

the demonstrating went well

with a few kits sold.

Now I have time to look for

something closer to home for next week

or the week after that.

July is fully booked with thing

to do with

Great Eillingham Teddy bear Festival.

I guess I can do some gardening soon as we have

had some rain to-day and the weeds will make good use of it.
