Christmas is approaching very fast, so despite looking around the shops I decided on an alternative style christmas tree this year. It is fashioned from a bunch of willow twigs, and instead of decorations, I am using christmas cards, which are hung from decorated wooden clothes pegs... The fairy lights are also not on the tree, but in a vase, Oh and there are also a few patchwork stars (home made) hanging around too.
The knitting club had its final meeting for the year :( but at least Ana's mother has finished knitting her jacket so she can wear it when she begins her new job in London, so she is very pleased indeed with it,and at least the pattern is being recycled by another Spanish lady now. :D Faviola has also crocheted enough granny squares to complete her dog jacket, and is now sewing it up too.. Well done everyone.
Patchwork class was also the last one of the year, but I was interrupted by Dolores, who called out that the coast of Africa could be seen really clearly. The dark line of the horizon shows the Atlas mountains. We are so high up in the mountains here in this part of Spain that this is visible on really clear days (proven via google maps)
So when class finished I took these photos from the terrace of the sunset and view as I was bringing the washing inside.
The weather here at the minute is also really sunny and warm too, so here I am sitting at the top of our steps at about 4.30 pm, doing a bit of knitting, not quite short sleeves as I was sitting in the shade. We had our front door open until about 5 o'clock.
