Sunny

My husband recently went to a conference in China. Sunny obviously wanted to go too.



Apology

Sorry about disappearing - my flat is being repainted and repaired inside and out and it is taking longer than I expected for the chaos to get sorted out.



Tatting

My latest large tatted doily.

Tigger

Tigger is not a cat who spends a lot of time in the garden, but here he is for once. He shines in the sunlight.

LIttle bits of tatting

A couple more tiny mats.

Aquilegia

Aquilegias were a feature of my childhood garden, so I am glad that this one is growing so well for me now.

Sleepy

This is Ginger in typical pose when asleep.

Tatting

A rings only doily - I do love the delicate effect of rings only patterns. And a little pink heart.



Promise of blackberries

My blackberries are flowering madly - lovely to think of all that delicious fruit later in the year!

Tatting

I was feeling a bit defeated by my big pieces of knitting and tatting so made this little tatted mat.

Sleep

Sunny sleeps as if she had gone to sleep running.

New spindle

I've just got a new supported spindle from IST Crafts Isle of Wight. It is lovely and light and spins really well. I just wish my skill was its equal - I need a lot more practice!

What-do-you-ma-call-it

Some years ago I carefully chose this shrub and planted it - and every year I enjoy it. Do I know what it is called? Of course not!

Asleep

Tigger doesn't like to sleep stretched out. Hasn't he got huge paws! When he was a kitten everyone laughed because he had clown feet.

Yes?

I was misguided enough to imagine I was airing the bed, but Sunny knew I was just creating an extra comfy corner for her!

Snowball bush

I have a very soft spot for this bush as I planted it to mark the grave of one of the previous generation of our cats - Basil, who had enough character for a dozen cats and lived every one of his nine lives to the full.
