Nativity or Belen

I have just finished putting up my own version of the nativity, in the spanish tradition. I have enjoyed making up the pattern s for the figures and knitting them over the course of the year.
Merry Christmas everyone :)

Life in Competa

Yesterday dave and I changed the plant pots outside the house. They looked very nice in the sunshine. Then I went to our sewing group meeting. I had the key as my friend had been away last week.
We were a mixed group too.. spanish, german, dutch, and English all enjoying sewing our projects.
Today I went to play our fortnightly scrabble game... and managed to win twice. :)

Draught excluder

Dave and I went to Torre del Mar on Friday to get our permanent spanish resedencia certificates.  We had an early start to the day,  six o clock to get the bus.  Anne from the Assessoria made the process very easy and quick.
I am making a draught excluder and have decided to machine applique some fish on the front. It is going to be a quarter circle shape to minimise the draught underneath the door. Here it is so far...

Sewing group

We have begun a little sewing group here in Competa. We met last week but the sevillana class were using the room so we have changed our day to Wednesday.
It will be interesting to see what people bring to do...

Finished kindle cover

Here is a couple of photos of the finished cover for my kindle.
We are now looking forward to seeing our daughter and her fiancé.
Dave and I have also booked a holiday for next year... the first one we have had since moving to Cómpeta.

Patchwork kindle cover

I have begun to make a cover for my kindle.  I have made the front and back sections and will buy a zip at the local hardware shop tomorrow to match the colours I have used..
Looking good so far..
Today is a bank holiday here in the village so it is a bit quiet. No school or knitting club either
The weather has begun to slowly change to autumn too.

Oil painting

I have just finished a painting in oils which has kept me occupied for a while.  It is quite large 19 1/2 x24 " and I may call it 'waves"
It needs to dry for a few weeks now.
