Crochet curtain June 2016

Crochet curtain in a sort of art deco design

Makes the dining room look very cosy. 

Twin quilts finished at last May 2016

The twin quilts finally finished. Used loads of scraps.. Kilometres of thread... Very pleased with them.

catch up

Apologies are needed as I have been busy but have not been updating my blog.

My daughter Lucy is telling me that she uses it to show her friends what I have been up to so I will be publishing photos to update it shortly. So please bear with me as I have a few years to catch up with. 

catch up with the blog

New phone

I have been waiting for my new ZenFone 2 to arrive for ages. It seemed much longer as the first one needed to be returned to China via customs and included lots of e mails and form filling in Spanish, as it did not even have a flicker of life!

Anyway I am back up and running

 (yippee)!!

Autumn has just arrived here in Cómpeta and the nights are decidedly cooler.Dave and I have put the electric blanket on the bed. The winter clothes are slowly coming out of storage too.

We are both looking forward to a short break in Malaga to see the Christmas decorations.

I have continued to go to both sewing and knitting classes too.

More stars

My pile of quilt blocks is still growing. I have already used a kilometre of thread and lots of scraps!
The weather here continues to be mainly very sunny and warm, despite a couple of very heavy thunderstorms and a power cut.
Mr G and I have been slowly getting ready for the winter, which can be cold up here in the mountains.
Here is the view from my front door and a star block in progress.
