I got up as usual at 6.30 this morning, looked out the window, saw it was wet, windy and miserable ....... and got straight back into bed! However I've only missed a couple of my walks since I started them in the middle of May, so I didn't feel too guilty.
I have had another go at wet felting. This one wasn't quite so successful - it hasn't quite all felted together, and is a bit see-through in places. Also a lot of the colour came out, so instead of a bright pink and lemon flower, it is now pale pink - the lemon has disappeared! However, the green that I added on what will be the outside of the flower worked quite well
As a temporary measure, I have just used some thread to tie the flower into shape
and like my previous flower, I have put some little strands in the middle
I will have to get some green plant sticks to use for flower stems, but just for the photo I used a bamboo knitting needle!
I'm not the only one making flowers - Malcolm made this origami one yesterday
I haven't got much work done on my row quilt recently, so I made a special effort this afternoon at patch'n'chat to finish the cuties
You might have noticed that only one of them has her headscarf!
I have also been working on Maia in the evenings - I have now done about half of it
Of course, Friday afternoons mean cake ...... today's was a wonderful apple and sultana sponge - delicious
I will have to make sure I go out for my walk on Monday morning, to walk off the cake calories - although we will probably go for a walk on Sunday (weather permitting!!) Whatever the weather, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, love, Anne
