Time marches on

Goodness, towards the end of July already and we are not having much of a summer.
We did have a few nice days at the end of June when H's daughter and grandchildren came to visit, so that was really nice. They had a chance to rest and relax in the sun and even have a dip.

I took a few pics of our time together.




These first two are taken in a lovely little restaurant in La Sauve




The next are just a few relaxing in the garden at home.

A bit more weaving!

At long last I have got around to making the bedroom curtains I wanted from the last piece of fabric that I wove. It could really do with a much larger window to show off the lacy pattern, but this window needed curtains so Voila!








I have also done a few towel recently from weaving up some 8/2 stash cotton with a cotton chenille weft. It was a bit of an experiment, and the towels are fine and functional but not as thick as I had hoped and they were very boring to do. It will be a long time until I do plain weave again but we live and learn. I got so bored it quite put me off and hence took ages to complete. Still now I have a few projects to plan which are interesting. One is to make fabric for dining room curtains, then a throw for a friend and then some upholstery fabric for another friend. That should keep me busy in the heat of the summer, if of course the summer ever arrives!

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.
