Fingers Crossed

that I can post some photos today.

This is in Bridgwater,, our first stop when we went out the other week,,
Then Watchet,,,

The above is a picture of the harbour wall,, where the water has done its magic, eroding away the stone. The whole wall is rather beautiful,,

Love the colours in this cliff, and the formation of the stone!

The next two were taken at Blue Anchor,,, gorgeously quiet and peaceful.

Passed Dunster Castle on the way to Minehead,,,

Had a lovely cup of tea and a slice of cake here!!

and a closer view of that cliff.
Off to do some knitting,,, progress update soon!

Yet Another

trip out and about. Last Monday DH and I went for a drive,,, and a wander. First stop,,,
Bridgwater, Somerset.
This is where I would put a piccy,, but blogger is messing me around.
Then we made our way to Watchet,, had some fish and chips there and another look around,, and had to pay for a pee! 20 pence!!!
Stopped off at Blue Anchor,, and if I could have posted my pictures you would have seen how quiet it is,,, out of season!!
Then we headed on up to Minehead,, spent a while here as there are plenty of shops!!

Sorry about this being a boring post,,, but hopefully next time there WILL be pictures.

I am knitting the Lonely tree shawl slowly,, along with the lacy scarf.
Not felt like being crafty lately,,, must be the weather!!

     Just tried adding a picture from my tab,, no luck there!

Managed to post these pictures via IE,,, but will need to do another post another time. What a hassle!

2nd Blogaversary,,,,

Well,, it has been two years on Tuesday that I have been blogging! I wanted to show some photos of a recent trip out, but my lap top blogger won't allow me to write a new post, check stats, won't let me do much really apart from checking my blog list.So I am writing this on my tab,, without pictures. Hopefully I will be able to work out what is wrong,, and normal service will resume as soon as possible.
Anyone else had this problem??
               xXx
 UPDATE,,, apparently it is a Chrome thing,,, can access everything via Internet Explorer. NEW POST tomorrow!!

On My Needles,,,,

Remember this shawl,,, I started a while back,,,, well,,,

I have nearly finished the first half. It has taken me a few months to knit this as I only tend to knit at the weekends and when I am on my own and not too tired. If DH is home I get distracted, and I can't knit with the telly or radio on either.
I have started another shawl,,,, found the recipe on Ravelry,,,

I started this last weekend,,, I know, I know,, not a lot done, but I got up to row 21 on the chart and I had gone wrong so I had to rip it all out. AND it is the first time I have used a knitting pattern chart!!

When a PP forum friend went to the Festival of Quilts recently, I asked her to look out for the Sew Cherished stand.

They are pre-printed water-soluble stitch guides. I thought I would try them on my crazy patches.

Leftovers!

Does anybody out there want roughly 400g of my ready cut hexies???

These are all leftover from my hexie quilt that I made.

Leave me a comment, and I will pick a recipient at the weekend. All I ask for in return is the postage cost.
As of Friday 6.47pm,,, I have only one comment,, so Kath,, if you want to email me your snail mail address,, I will post the hexies tomorrow or Monday!!!!

And this picture of the farmer muck spreading. Is it just me???,, or do others enjoy watching farmers at work??

Days Out!

A picture heavy post,, but blogger didn't want to play today so the pictures are out of order.

At the Cheddar Gorge.

                                                          mmmm! Icecream!!!

Weston-super-Mare,

On the A303 westbound.              Annies do a nice breakfast and a great cup of tea.

Honiton

From The Wool Stack, Honiton

spotted in an antique centre in Honiton.

GS looking at the mouth of the slide he came down.

Daddy had to have a go!!!!                                                                                        

Lunch time.

Honiton was on Monday,,,, then the play park on Thursday,,, Weston and Cheddar on Friday.

Not a lot,,,

has been happening here,, it has been a tad too hot to sit and do anything.
Last weekend was the village fayre,, and Darth Vader decided to invade the sports field,,,

along with some friends,,,,

I didn't fancy holding those,, but I did hold an Albino Burmese Python!!!!

My darling husband took this photo before I was ready,, hence the shocked look on my face. The snake was called Patti,, and she was cool to the touch and smooth!!! (not a very good photo of me!)

I have finally basted the Redwork quilt,, just waiting for the weather to cool down a bit so I can quilt it in the ditch.

And I have prepped a couple of 6 inch blocks ready for some crazy embellishments,,,
