It's Been a Tad Warm

 And I know I shouldn't complain.... but you will never hear me saying it's too cold!!

The heatwave that we have been basking in enduring makes it quite difficult to concentrate on being very productive.

I did venture out to block the Spotlight shawl that I eventually got to finish

 because I am going to need a Silk/Alpaca shawl soon aren't I 🙄

We have been to help No1 Son with a Gardening project (don't ask! no photos - it was a scorching sweaty day involving digging though solid clay and a hangover (not me) )

And Helping Darling Daughter with another Gardening Project (again no photos - it wasn't a pretty sight )

So this week I have been guiltless in sitting in the shade reading and relaxing, which is fortunate because on Tuesday 6 Chinook helicopters and 3 Pumas (followed by three others, I think Jupiters) flew across the garden.  They were on their way for a practice formation of over 100 aircraft  for a flypast over Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 10th July  to celebrate 100 years of the RAF. 

Maybe a trip to London to see this spectacle.....

 DD, Sister2 and I all went off to Lamport Hall to try out a mosaic workshop. It was a Gaudi themed workshop but we could choose our own subject matter.  

 We had a lovely messy laughter filled day

starting to grout

no grouting yet

My finished lizard - just need to add a fixing

Sister 2's Burgau Sea Snail

 Will definitely have another go at this craft


The shawl is done 

And as Wool Warehouse have a Sale on Drops Cotton I have purchased a few balls of the
 Cotton Light to make the bodices for some Dress a Girl Charity dresses that will hopefully use up some more of my fabric scraps.

only 55p per 50g !

 Just a couple of snaps of my lovely HUGE hanging basket that is drinking water like a fish in this heat
