I forgot to tell you yesterday that I was at the dentist in the morning to have my new crown fitted. There was a slight delay as Mr GoodScrabbleScore couldn't remove the temporary crown. He pulled and he tugged, and he tugged and he pulled, and eventually had to resort to the drill. I am delighted with my lovely new crown - perhaps Malcolm will capture me smiling over the weekend!
I have shown you the driftwood drying in the garage, but I haven't shown you my seaglass and assorted bits, which have been drying on the draining board in the utility room, after being thoroughly washed with bleach
it'a amazing the great assortment of pieces that you can pick up on a short walk
this old shell has been home to a host of other small creatures
I like this partial shell
having previously framed some for Malcolm's shower room in the flat, I framed these ones for my bathroom at home
I was glued to the Great British Sewing Bee last night ....... but I still can't decide if I like Patrick without his beard, but still with a moustache! (he's still gorgeous, but is he slightly les gorgeous!)
we were delighted that there was a contestant from Jedburgh, a lovely lady called Annie who is a retired dairy farmer and cheesemaker (we have eaten her delicious cheese). Here she is with the delightful Claudia
Patrick and his fellow judge May examining a piece of sewing (the funny dark shapes on the right hand edge of the photos are from the large rubber plant which sit beside the tv)
while I was watching the programme, I was casting on my Ripple Rug. As I had to cast on 282 stitches, I used stitch markers to show where the 100th and 200th stitches were, to make it easier to keep count
now for the star of tonight's post - Malcolm's wine box bookcase. He has made the basic carcase
there will a shelf in the middle section, and after some deliberation, he has decided that instead of putting pine panelling at the back, he will put a piece of plywood and cover it with wine corks!
and of course to finish we have the Friday cake - our favourite apple and sultana
we'll be heading off to Berwick in the morning, hoping for good weather to get out for a good long walk. I hope you all have a great weekend, love Anne
