So, here's the garden extension:
I spent 4 hours in it yesterday afternoon, and it doesn't look much different...... although I did find 2 paths! LOL
before I got out there tho' it had rained quite heavily, so whilst waiting for that to ease, I made a notebook:
Very slap-dash but kind of fun. It's 4 signatures (which I sewed together on a sewing machine cos I was in a rush and couldn't find a needle <<< I'm soo bad) but it'll do for my purpose for now! And by the time I was placing a book on it to hold it while the PVA dried, the rain had stopped.
Other than that, life has been fairly normal:
We walked and Spot got hot, so we stopped for a sit:
But evidently for just a bit too long:
Right, time to go and see what Sunday has to offer.
Have a great weekend and week everyone x

Wow, so much excitement
So, the plans are coming along nicely! - well nicely in that there's loads of enthusiasm & interest, but as with all new ventures it takes a while to get everything in place and work out how things will work. But
The Crafters' Barn is a very real project all of a sudden, and not just an idea in my head! - Watch this space!
We've also measured up next door garden for her new fence. Now we just need it to stop raining! ;
It's all so exciting, but I have to admit I don't know which way is up at the moment.

Update on lace sleeves sweater
Just wanted to share how this is turning out - i am loving it! - obviously being 4ply it's slow progress (and I'll never make it again in 4ply ;) ) but it's gorgeous so far:
I need to add more length then there is a lace panel that goes on the bottom, and the sleeves need to be knitted (they're lace, but given the name of the sweater that shouldn't be a surprise!). I'm knitting this in Twilley's Freedom Gorgeous 4ply
Also i wanted to show you this finished Cami, I had forgotten to take a photo of it finished. it's stretched a bit on the straps so i need to stitch some ribbon or binding in them to hold them a bit tighter, but i love it and wear it loads.
pattern: Beaded Cami, heavily modified though with help from other knitters notes on ravelry! (and without the beads!) Knitted in King Cole Bamboo Cotton, colour Opal.
