A few more pics

We had a bit better day yesterday, at least it was dry and the sun came out for a bit in the evening so there was a buz of lawn mowers all around including here LOL. The gardens were starting to become a bit like a jungle! Today the rain is back ........dismal. Anyway I started to take a few pics of the zoo and then the light got a bit low so will have to do the rest later.Here they are.. Hope you are all having better weather than us.

Long time no post!





Well it seems time has flown by yet again and I have not found time to post here. We have had some lovely hot weather in April but now it is May and really quite chilly . Usually May here is one of the best of the year and really hot.

However, the flowers are liking it and the roses are flourishing with all the rain so that is great. I took a few pics this week but must take some more as I have not had any of the zoo lately. lol


Weaving, well it is very slow. I have been weaving some towels and what with it being plain weave have got a bit bored and found it hard going, really must make an effort to finish shortly and get onto something which is a little more inspiring.


Lots more curtain fabric needs to be made and other bits so must try harder to get at the loom and not spend ages in the garden. That is the trouble with this time of year the veggie patch and flower borders seem to always need weeding!!

Spring is here

Hi there, don't seem to have found the time to post much recently and here we are in March already. The weather is very wet here but mild so the spring flowers are starting to look lovely, so I took a couple of pics today.



I have just taken my latest piece of curtain fabric off of the loom and think it is going to look nice. So far I have just wet finished it and pressed it and hope to do the sewing shortly, so I took an interim photo. It was my first venture into network drafting and this time I used huck which I thought would give me just what I was looking for for the spare bedroom curtains. If it all turns out ok of course! I used a French Navy linen/cotton slub at 12 epi.
