........ see the eclipse?! The weather forecast last night wasn't very encouraging, with talk of clouds. When I got up at 6.30 it was misty, then as the mist cleared it was indeed cloudy, but with little bits of bue sky showing through. By 8.30, the sky looked like this
we waited anxiously as the cloud came and went, then we had just the right amount of cloud to let us see the eclipse and take photos
a few minutes later, you could see that the moon had moved further on past the sun
the birds were discombobulated - they stopped feeding and returned to their roosts. This sparrow landed on the roof before disappearing into the ivy where it usually spends the night
the little baby cardi is coming along nicely. I have knitted the back, both sleeves and one front. Once I have knitted the other front, I will knit the yoke. It has been a very quick knit, and I will have to see if I have other neutral-coloured yarns in my stash to knit another one
at patch'n'chat this afternnon Katy was auditioning fabrics. She had originally made this sample log cabin block with plain navy on the other side, but had decided that she wanted a different colour. I don't know how many bolts of fabric we looked at before she decided on this pink one
Annette was back from her holiday, and had made her light-as-air cupcakes for us. It was hard, but I resisted having a second one!
the weather looks promising for the weekend, so there may be some beach combing! I hope you hav a good weekend, love Anne
