I made a start on some masculine cards which are often a bit tricky but The Eagles at high volume in the background certainly helped! Does anyone else like The Eagles? I often go to see the tribute band Talon when they play at our local theatre. They are fab! Anyway, family cards made and a few to spare....
After my lunchtime soup I sat a bit and finished off some baby knitting. I always leave the sewing up until last as I don't really enjoy that bit although it was satisfying to finally see the finished articles. The patterns all come from Marianna's blog, lazydaisydays, she is a very clever (and generous) lady. They will all be going to charity.....
I have received a message from a very kind lady called Sharon who has just found me and who has offered to finish my little fabric dog for me and to post it back. What a wonderfully kind gesture. Unfortunately, Sharon, frustration got the better of me and I 'disposed' of the little creature only last week after another futile attempt to assemble him only to realise what I had done...I had cut him out with no seam allowance...doh...(insert a blushing face smilie) Your kindness has, however, brightened up (several of) my days, thank you, thank you x
Venomous Spiders
Although I can't call myself an arachnophobe , I certainly don't like big spiders as they can definitely bite! Small ones are no threat and I scoop them up and throw them outside quite easily but articles I have read lately warn of spiders now entering homes to get warm, and to mate, and there is one venomous spider called a False Widow...what?...aaarrgghh! I have become very vigilant suddenly :/
DH has just come in for some HM potato & leek soup for lunch and has handed me these which he picked up whilst clearing the park.....
Other neighbours swear that placing conkers beside vents and doorways, even windows will help prevent spiders from entering. I have my doubts but conkers or bonkers, by jove, I will try it out. Has anyone else heard about this? Does it actually work?
Right! Lunch things cleared away, back to card making I think :)
Have a lovely day, whatever you are doing x
Hi Angie I think I have heard that about conkers, we have a big tree outside the front door, we are always sweeping them up perhaps I should keep some.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly worth a try, Marlene x
DeleteYour cards and knitting look great. What a cute little outfit. A friend of mine used to swear by the conker thing. I was always finding them in corners and on window ledges. X
