                                    --------------------------------------

The weather is much in proved so now it is time to get the garden tided while the sun shines.

Holiday makes

The Day I arrived in Devon it was lovely and sunny,so much I got a bit burnt sitting in my friends garden.

The weather went down hill after that.

We had a few wet days but that did not stop us from going out.

On our trip to Exeter we got rely wet and some lady were out in just sandals.

As I stay with friend I take some craft work to do so I took this Red work

and some knitting ready for Teddy Day in Great Ellingham on the 14th July.

I will show you them when I have finished them.     

This is just the right size to use as a mat under my sewing machine.


Do pop by again, I love all you comments .

Of to the Olympics

 Having made the dog and wellington bag I was asked to make one in apple fabric for

Sandra of Ashill Fruit Farm.
                                                 www.norfolkpureapplejuice.co.uk

I have added extra pockets as this bag is off to the Olympic's with her.

We use to meet at a market that has now closed due to lack of village support.

Sandra also wanted this bag to take to markets to hold different things on her stall.

I will make some more bag's for Apple Day at Gressinhall  in October.

I do not know what design I will do yet.

-----------------------------------------

The Weather hear can not decide if it is summer yet as we are fast approaching the longest day.

The rain however has put a stop to the hosepipe ban and thing are growing fast including the weeds.

I now need another project to start maybe that jelly roll????

Till next time enjoy what ever you are doing
