Blimey we have a finish!!!

Well! We have a finish! First one in a year 😳 and yes it was over half done but that's not the point 🤣 behold! My temperature embroidery for 2024
I had done up to August last year but then long covid really started kicking my back side. But now new therapist new room and I finally felt like picking something up again 😊 I restarted this in June and have loved having a hoop in my hand again 🥰 I've reached the end of this notebook which is a bit sad, I bought it at the American museum in Bath in 2019 at a Kaffe Fassett exhibition, it's been my book for temperatures for 2023 and 2024 but not to worry! I have sent lovely new book lined up for 2025 and it's already chock full of data, not temperatures though I'm going to change tak


I took progress shots as I went along, love my spiffy new needle minder too 😊

Fettle the finishes mid year check in

Well! I might be on the verge of posting a finish!!! So I thought it was time to give the list a reaaaaaaalllllly good prune. Even if I make a full recovery I don't know that I want to go back to the big level of quilting/Crafting that I used to do.

June seasons

 So welcome June! This is the far left corner of the garden and neither of us can remember what the tree is 🤦‍♀️ once it's blooming again i can look it up
June has been a bit mixed so far, still colder days occasionally and rain. 
Everything is so much greener, flowers in bloom too, just all a bit more summery
And yes thank you for asking! i did take this myself! Being down here on the middle floor has opened up so much more it's wonderful 
January
