That is what this past week has been about…soggy feet, soggy grass, wet clothes…..the rain just hasn’t subsided…..until today…it is sunny so far today, so the washing is on the line…not blowing as it is still and humid but at least it’s not hung around the house in the vain hope it will dry!
I have a little finish to show you…I am trying to complete all my little UFO’s, before I start anything else…
Shepherd’s Bush – Be Happy
Fabric: 28c Jayne’s Attic Hand dyed linen – Aster
Threads: DMC
Started: 27-2-12 – Completed: 24-6-12
I’ve also managed a little progress on my other Shepherd's Bush UFO ‘Sophie’s Roses’, I’m using my own choice of threads on this, Carries Creations!
I’ve made a start on my July Christmas Ornament too…and my Private Exchange piece for Jo…I’ve also done a little of my crochet throw…it’s growing slowly!!
I spent an enjoyable day in school last Saturday, handling real artefacts which had been loaned to us by York Archaeological Trust, real Roman concrete and Viking spindle whurls and flint arrowheads…fantastic! We had enjoyable lectures on Baptismal fonts throughout history too!
A quiet weekend here, the kiddiewinks are spending the day at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s today and then it’s school mass tomorrow and then home for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Have a great weekend whatever your plans and whatever the weather!

Be Happy is adorable. Love the charms. Wish we could trade places for a bit - we haven't had a good rain in months. Very hot here. Hope your laundry dries quickly. lol
Be Happy is so cute and I love your progress on Sophie's Roses.
It's nice to see the sun today and no rain ( yet!).
I really love Be Happy. It is so cheerful!
And how I wish we could have some of your rain. It is sooo hot here in Toronto. We haven't had rain for ages. Although, I will admit, there is a quick thunderstorm outside right now, but it is already blowing over.
Love them both!
Be happy is so pretty!! Lovely stitching :)
