May furtle

I redid my bunny pixie basket! I blogged about it here another finish ✅️
I have more finishes! These mandalas were waiting to be done from pre long covid! I blogged about them here


Another finish!!! Redoing the Temperature embroideries from 2021 and 2022! Blogged about here

I also got a new binding tool, I think it will help, Mark does most of my big ironing for me so I didn't really want to add binding to it. I managed this amount in 20 mins with not too much effort so I think ill stick with it

Another finish!!! Squeeked in for the end of May my cherry blossom sashiko kit. Now all done and made up blogged about here

May 2026 swimming

So! I needed to test if my swimming suit still fits! Turns out I can still squeeze the girls in there 🤣

I really wanted to test how accessible Gartmorn Dam is as a swim spot. Turns out its very accessible! One min in wheelchair from parking and you're there! 

Getting in is pretty straightforward, only issue is swans and the folks who feed them!




yes it was brilliant, im still adjusting to how it is now, changing still feels clumsy and awkward but I'll get better once I get more practice!
GD looked after my bobble hat going there 😊 And this is another new swim spot for me! That's my 73rd dook and 20th swim spot
