Melting in Milnthorpe & Christmas in July

Wow but its hot. This is England, how can it be 22 degrees at 8 o'clock in the morning?

It seems I've got to an age where I'd rather be inside sewing in weather like this.... what happened Enough about the weather, on to sewing..

At the shop we've taken delivery of Christmas. So I'm now busy making up advent calendars, Christmas stockings and such like.

Starting with the Advent Stockings from Makower UK.

Here's one I finished, just 23 more to go.....

First day of spring

According to google today is the first day of spring... I guess that explains the rain then!

Feeling miffed, I pegged the washing out and missed the start of the rain so the washing is now as wet as when I pegged it out!

Rain on the window

A forlorn daffodil in the garden.

On the positive side there will be no garden guilt as I spend the afternoon sewing!
