Summer Fun

Summer holidays. Days out with the girl. Packing for our holiday to Austria. Watching my work in progress pile sitting there waiting.

Nearly time to Mary out again on another day out.  Here is something she got up to last time.

And me? I just stand there and take the photos.

Cloudy Weather

Sunday was a funny day. Warm then cool. Sunny but cloudy.

We went to a Vantage Bus Rally in Gosport and then for a walk along the beach at Stokes Bay.

I was born in Gosport and lived there until aged 4 or 5. So whenever I go there now I am always reminded of my child days there when, as often happens with childhood memories, the days always seem full of sunshine.

It was a very windy day. But it meant that the sky looks wonderful with the clouds up above. This is a photo of my sister Claire, on the beach at Stokes Bay, Gosport. The brighter photo has been touched up a tiny bit.  But for the life of me I cannot remember whether the day was like that or whether the camera just makes it seem duller anyway.  But as you can see - what an amazing sky.

Craft Book Club - Vintage Knits Choice

I have joined an online Craft Book Club!  If you want to (and I recommend that you do too then we can have lots of lovely book talks) then pop over to Popular Crafts Book Club.

I have chosen for August the gorgeous book 'Vintage Knits'. It is a lovely book and I am going to have fun choosing something to knit.

I will let you know how it goes.

Let's Sing a Rainbow

Here is another set of buttons added to my etsy, and folksy shop and soon to be added to my dawanda shop.

I love a rainbow and seem to see fewer in the sky, or maybe that is just me.

So here is one I have made. A set of 1.5cm dorset buttons in the colours of the rainbow.

I am rather proud of my husband. He started his blog a few weeks ago and he has written more posts than I have in a year!

His writing is excellent and posts interesting, witty and informative.

So pop over and have a look
