As usual on a Thurday morning, we headed into Hawick for a cuppa in the Pickled Orange coffee shop. Malcolm then headed off home, while I headed for the dreaded dentist. As I was a bit early. I walked along to the cauld, hoping to see a heron. No herons, only a few ducks and a couple of seagulls!
these stems of dogwood(?) provided a bright splash of colour
this beautiful building has been lying empty since we moved here, slowly rotting away
then I could put it off no longer and had to head to the torture chamber dentist.It was every bit as bad as I feared it would be - I could feel a tear trickle down my cheek ....... and that was when he was administering the painkilling injection! After 45 minutes I staggered out of the chair to face further pain, as I paid another instalment of the bill! However, that is all the prep done for the crown, and I go back in two weeks time to have it fitted
back home I headed out to the studio for a relaxing afternoon cutting out the rest of the hexies for the outer border of Mrs Billings. I cut them out in batches, and filled each little bag with the hexies needed to make a pyramid. By the end of the afternoon, I had them all organised, ready for the next sewing session
to finish ....... we have stripes, lots of stripes!! Poor Malcolm was made to stand in the garden, draped in the front of the ball end sweater, and an almost finished sleeve. I love it - I just hope Fraser's Dad does too!!
