Absent

from my blog for a while,, but I have good reasons!
Firstly... My twin no; 1 got married. He is based in Lincolnshire,, so we had a couple of days up there.

 I don't like my picture taken,,, but this is little old me with my 3 sons.
My Grandson was in the middle of a Jekyll and Hyde moment,, one minute smiling,,

and the next,, crying.

Then, from Lincolnshire, we made our way over to Germany to visit my Mother-in-law,,,, who really liked her cushion that I made her,,,,

and whilst I was there,, I took a picture of a wallhanging that I made her a few years ago,,,

Crafting wise,,,, I have finished my first pair of socks,,

They do fit,, and I am on my next pair. I am knitting them using the Magic Loop on circular needles. Quite simple,, when you know how.
I made a visit to Hanson's Fabrics in Sturminster Newton on Saturday,, they have their July sale on. I did make a few purchases but can't show them here, as I am making my Mother-in-law a quilt,, and she reads my blog!
There is a Hobbycraft shop just opened up in town,,, had to have a look. Not a bad size store, well stocked,,and I came away with a bundle of fat quarters, for £6.50.

I will leave you with a picture of the Wedding Cake,,,

made by the Brides mother. Brilliant.
