I know, I know, I know. I know I should have added a post last weekend. I kept thinking I should do a post then something else happened and I got distracted and Now its warmer than the surface of the sun. But now I’m sat in front of my laptop determined to write a post.
So the usual Things have happened, knitting, tangling and card making. Lets start off with the cards I’ve made:
Katie asked for the retirement card and she wants another doing. At first she said I could be funny but then she didn’t like my suggestion.
I wanted to put those on the front of a card with a note saying “Now you’re retired you can spend time with people your own age”.
She decided that was too insulting. I just said she was mean and the dinosaurs didn’t like her anymore. So back to the drawing board for the other retirement card.
Hear are the tiles I’ve done over the past 2 weeks.
153 
154 
155 
156
Tile 155 was difficult and rather head mashing. It needed some major concentration. I’m quiet chuffed with it considering it started off as just dots.
I also received the Tile Swap 6. This tile was by Sue Colledge I think its great:
Me being a bit numb I ended up sending in 2 Tiles. They were both similar and of course I didn’t get a picture of the first one but here is a picture of the second:
So that was version number 2 but both tiles were sent in attached to a letter:
As the note at the bottom says it all in a bit of fun. But because I sent in 2 tiles I got the tile swap back and a Bonus Tile from Sandra.
I think that one is awesome. I just love the way colour has been used.
I mentioned Knitting earlier and and I’m still working on the log cabin blanket. Its just a bit bigger now as I’ve done a few more strips.
I forgot to say earlier but I’ve also done a bit of sewing. I made a new Mask:
I’m really Happy with the way it turned out. There is even a bit of top stitching on there as well. Because that mask looks so good it even made me tweak a couple of the others I’ve made in the past. I’m even more impressed when the sewing machine I used looks like this:
Yes that front section is missing and as for picking which stitch to use its the dial on the front and there doesn’t seem to be a way to figure out where to put the one you want. You have to do tests to figure out if its on the one you want. So Much Fun!
I suppose I should talk about what is happening today. Allegedly most of the remaining lock down restrictions are supposed to have ended. That means that its now up to people to decided for them selves whether or not to wear masks. Everyone I have spoken to has said that they will be keeping them on and I really think that is the right thing to do.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I agree with it or not is a different story. All I will say is that I’m going to be keeping My Masks and ask that you think of others when you’re making your decision about them.
On that note I’m off to sit with my aircon unit and fan to get cold.
Love and Light
