Mission accomplished

winging it's way.... Hope the cardigan reaches it's destination soon
The buttons were a surprise find, and go well with the cardigan, Thanks to the lovely Julie, who saves them. :D

Finished knitting

I have finished knitting the cardigan and need to get some buttons for it tomorrow.. fingers crossed they have some that will look nice :D

Japanese larch

Absolutely no sign of the Japanese larch :(   (think I may have to start again)
I have been deadheading flowers, taking cuttings of fuschia and carnations and having a bit of a garden plant pot clean up and clear out day so it is looking very tidy :D

Dama de la Noche and knitting

a section of the back and 2 x cardigan fronts

Dama de la Noche

I began to knit a baby aran cardigan yesterday, and have completed the back and half of the front already.
I am hoping to finish it soon, so the recipient will be able to wear it.








And here is a photo of the Dama de la noche or Lady of the night plant that I grew from a cutting which is now 2 years old.
We were greeted home last night by it's wonderful perfume which always reminds me of holidays
:D

Intercambio

Manned the table for Intercambio, which is a fun conversation hour where Spanish folk can speak English and vice versa. at The Competa activities fair today. Gave away loads of leaflets.
At least I was in the shade this time so did not get sunburned. :D
Fortunately I was next to the Ladies Association so was able to sell a few tickets for the quilt we are raffling at Christmas all hand sewn and quilted.
And managed to offer  to teach knitting or crochet to anyone interested :D

Knitting or crochet?

Tomorrow, as the door opener for intercambio, I am going to attend the local craft and leisure fair. I was also asked to represent the ladies patchwork class, but cannot be in 2 places at once :(
I am also going to see if anyone would like to learn/or form a knitting or crochet group?? possibly in conjunction with the ladies assoc?? So am going to sort out something to do from 10 till 3 tomorrow on the stall. I am also going today to find out the times/or see if I can sign up for Spanish lessons from the town hall, as I have never studied formally :D

Flowers and tomatoes

The lovely flowers...all different shades of purple and blue

Plus the tomatoes are ripening as well yum yum

I decided to take some pictures of the climbing flowers outside the front door because they looked so lovely. The tomatoes are also beginning to ripen Tasty eh?
