Invictus Melt and a new tea for me today, Lemon, Ginger & Turmeric…
It’s been a tough few days after Sherlock our lovely grey tabby was sadly taken to Rainbow bridge way to soon, but things are getting back to the new normal…
I have been keeping busy sewing in my happy place, silly hours of the morning when the insomnia kicks in, I think it’s best to go with it and not fight it, the more I try to sleep the worse I get, so I just get up… I have a couple of orders that I am trying to fulfil before Christmas as I have mentioned before and they are coming along nicely, still have a few more to keep me out of mischief, oh yes I need to tell you about our new book club and what we are reading, but let me finish telling you about my sewing, I found some odd bits of whacky pink fabric that was enough to make another book pillow so this one is for sale if you are interested just WhatsApp me, picture below.
I have also been making some foldable totes, they fold into a little pocket so you can keep them in your bag or car for those unexpected purchases, will take some photos so you can see these, and they will soon be posted on my available items.
In November I am having a special promotion for all my makes, will tell you more nearer the time but watch this space…
Oh yes the book club, well it is that time of year when the mornings are dark, well until the clocks go back on Saturday, and it’s dark early in the evening, so some of us have decided to start a book club, I did mention it in a previous blog, well I think I did? I could be wrong, I’m sure I did because I mentioned Jilly Cooper, anyway we have had our first meeting and decided we would read Jilly Coopers 1st book which is “Riders” well it is warming up nicely, and I can’t put it down…. I have it on Audio and kindle, so when I am sewing I can listen and when Insomnia kicks in at night I can read it, I just love how, the kindle knows that I have been listening and will ask if I want to go to the latest location, hey isn’t technology great, so I have a month to read the book but in the meantime I have been watching “Rivals” on Disney, which is the next book in the series, I’m loving it other than they have cast Rupert Campbel Black with black hair and in the book he is blonde? Why? Why would they do that? Anyway there are some very good actors in Rivals I keep saying to Mark oh look It’s him out of Poldark or him out of the musketeers… It’s worth a watch if you can, but read the books they are great there is a whole series of them, I’m looking forward to our next book club meet to discuss Riders, we were going to have a Margarita Thursday, (Sweet Magnolias, great series on Netflix) but it is now on a Wednesday, so felt we needed to change the title, so it could be Book & Bottle, or Wine o’clock Wednesday or even Books & Banter, or A Noval Idea…. Oh now I’m getting carried away, it’s not just my decision, but love a name for something, it’s makes it more special, in my opinion, it’s like naming your car or even your vacuum (I know I just had to mention Dreame, he is still working like a dream) it just gives it that personal touch and makes it special.
I must go now as I have been selling things on market place from our barn and I have people coming this morning to collect so better not great them in my PJ’s…
Yes, it is raining today but that is why we have lovely green grass… remember to smile…
Thank you for my bag Susie it was very sweet and generous. I have a few things that this clever and creative friend has made for me now and I can’t recommend her more highly. The make up bag is such a good size and graces anywhere it is placed, the cushions are just of such high quality, the bean bag iPad/book support so useful, the tote bags are versatile and the bottle bags are just simply the perfect gift for anyone to receive a bottle in! Everything is made to such a high standard, quality products that are unique and as gifts, a delight for anyone to receive.
Thank you for such a lovely review.
