So a rerun of last weeks FNSI as not everyone was involved. Many thanks to Wendy for our evening together.
I spent most of Friday prepping (and cleaning!) ready for a family visit today, although I made time after lunch to work on my Stitch Journal. Here are this weeks additions, Fridays was the laced herringbone far right.
In the evening I was working on my crochet jumper - sleeves coming along nicely.
I have been working on the Wedding Book of my parents wedding this week and have started adding photographs. My main reason though for the book though was to make somewhere safe to keep the cards that Mum had treasured for 69 years. And I have made pockets for these to sit safely in as I think it will be nice for family to go through and take them out in the future.
There were quite a few telegrams - over 20 I think, and these of course are a thing of the past so something unusual for grandchildren and great grandchildren to look at. Here are just a few.
There were much fewer cards though. Here are a few, so pretty.
Lots of gift tags though.
There were several keys and shoes. Notice the lucky horseshoes - one up one way the other the opposite.
Lots more to do, so more next week.
Also this week I managed to finish the fuchsia watercolour I started a few weeks back. Happy with this now.
We met some friends at a garden centre this week and I spotted these tea towels in the kitchen section. Just so pretty and there were quite a few designs.
I have unpicked and trimmed these - they are destined to become tray mats next time the machine comes out.
So that is it from me this week. It has been wet and windy here although dry today and a 'good drying day'! Back to the rain tomorrow.
Have a good week.
