Weekend

A quiet but productive weekend.  Storm Freya hit but wasn't as bad as anticipated, although ferries were cancelled on Saturday.  We did manage to get out for a stroll, but mainly stayed in our little cottage and enjoyed each others company.

I got the sewing machine out and made a start on the mammoth stack of minor repairs.  I then went on to make two kindle covers using Harris Tweed, which I love.  A simple and quick make, but effective for keeping a kindle safe.


The stags are a wonderful embellishment that enhance the plain case.  I also covered another notebook.  I like to have a few things in the gift drawer and it would go well with a nice pen.  Harris Tweed was again used and another stag.


A button stitched onto the elastic almost the same colour as the stag.

I am also working on a prototype wreath for Christmas, a Santa.  I want to make several as Advent gifts so need to work on the pattern.



I need to now work on his facial features on the beige yarn and add a holly stem and berries to his hat.



We drank copious amounts of tea and enjoyed a biscuit or two.  Consequently, the 2 pounds I lost I am sure to have put back on.  All I can do is try again but lesson learnt I am not going to allow Gerard to throw things in the shopping trolley as I have no will power at all.

A roast pork dinner with all the trimmings on Sunday, along with a sweet rice pudding for dessert.  A tradition that we enjoy, although old fashioned these days.  I actually prepare it all on Saturday so it doesn't take too long to cook it when we come home from Church.

We finished another jigsaw, we have been working on it for quite awhile.  It was a beautiful one with several penguins so you can imagine how difficult it was to put together as the pieces were almost all the same colour.  We persevered and were victorious.

Back to reality today and time to get some chores done.  A warm welcome to a new follower, I do hope you enjoy my adventures through life.   A big thank you to all those who visit and for all your uplifting comments.

See you soon.
