2 September











I suppose I could be knocked out by a technicality here....

Clearly I am not working with yarn...although I am working with a needle

I am cross-stitching a pattern of Autumn quilts on a clothesline

It is much too hot and humid for knitting here....

that will have to wait for a month or so, in which time, I will have (hopefully) 

finished the cross stitch.

Truth be told...I haven't even been reading much of Emma of late. 

I did finish Sense and Sensibility though,

and, I do plan to finish Emma very soon...

    Gorgeous! I love cross stitch as well as knitting and quilting, so alternate between them. I would love to see that design when you finish - although maybe you are like me and cross stitch takes FOREVER! I have one that I would work on while in hospital for each of my last three childrens' births, so it has been going for ten years now! One day, I will finish.
    Your photos are simply lovely - I am going to spend some time here, admiring your tiny island.

    Your picture of your cross stitch is beautiful. I'm not sure I have the eyes or patience for cross stitch anymore (moving from fabric to pattern, back to fabric; but you remind me that I want to pick up embroidery again. I think I could still do that. I think I really must get to it. You have a lovely blog. I am so glad to have discovered it.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
