Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

From a very very wet and windy Gloucestershire,  my goodness did we have rain yesterday,  it just didn't stop, the wind picked up throughout the day too, poor Lucy looked like a drowned rat when she got in from work,  rainy, windy days make for a very long day at the wildlife park!  Her day was measured by how many Sudoku she managed to complete! 🤣

I was sat playing with different Poinsettia dies to try and decide which ones I liked the best,  the jury is still out.  🤔   I was distracted by Christmas shopping and Soph had my sewing velcro into a gift that she has personalised for someone 😉, the trouble was she bought adhesive backed velcro, so my needle really struggled to get through that tough adhesive backing that coated the needle with its stickiness with every pass!  By the time I was done I had no feeling in my thumb and forefinger!  

Whilst making some room in my photo album I cane across these photos that we took when we popped into Witney around Remembrance weekend,   this spectacular Mail Box topper was knitted & crocheted by local ladies,  what blew me away was the level of detail, look at those boots and the neatness of the helmet,  the poppies are beautiful and even featured Purple poppies for the Animals lost in combat too.  

Maria 

How beautiful is Maria's latest Crystal Art, the colours are so incredible,  it must have been so hard with the colours all being so similar. There is something really special about this one Maria, I'm not sure if its the incredible imagery or the way the light hits the piece.  I absolutely love it my lovely.

Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing piece ❤️ 

We may well get the Christmas bits out of the loft this weekend,  (I heard Paul telling the girls yesterday)  It's very early for us but the girls seem to be excited though.  We don't have much else planned,  other than food shop at some point as there was no way I was going out in that wind and rain yesterday. 

I hope that you have a good one, however you are spending it, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx
