Weekend

The engineer arrived and was able to do a simple repair to the boiler but we were only able to have hot water or heating not both.  As we have the stove we opted for hot water.  The part needed was order and arrived this morning, Gerard drove to Stornoway this morning to collect it and now we are waiting for the engineer to come and fully repair it.  Apparently the boiler is coming to the end of its life but with the repairs may give us another couple of years.  Time will tell, it is worth a try on the repair.

There has been a project languishing in a bag for some time and as I was looking for a Birthday present I thought this finished would be the perfect gift.



It took no time at all to finish it, sew in the ends and block.




I don't know why I left it so long to finish it.  I then crocheted a brooch to go with it.  Made with love and perfect for the gift needed.



The sheep are in the field now right next to the house.  I believe they are to be scanned this week, lamb season coming around again where does the tie go?



A quiet weekend but lots achieved.  Several more rows have been done on Honeys quilt, I am enjoying the easy pattern and the calming colour combination.

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

See you soon.

The Start Of Christmas Crafting

A start has been made and although very early, necessary due to our travel plans.  Yes Christmas crafting has started, so far I have resisted the Christmas music.  But the notebook has been out and diaries have been consulted and due to inclement weather today, planning.  Gift toppers have been made for the children, a primitive style clothes peg snowman which will double up as a tree decoration.  A simple but fiddly make.



You can still see some of the glue used to secure the buttons, now that it is dry it has disappeared.  They do need to be sanded back a little once they have hardened off.   I had loads of Christmas fabric that I had bought from a car boot sale earlier in the year.  Consequently I have made each family a sack with their family name, making transporting the gifts easier.  A fun practical addition.



Fully lined and all ready for some of the gifts to go in.

Some Harris Tweed was quickly turned into a cowl, warm and hard wearing.



Back to Christmas fabric and a couple of shopping bags have been made, requested by Wilbur and Hector.  Wilbur wanted a Christmas bag so that he can do his  shopping.


Another crochet project has been started using some beautiful yarn.



 

Mickey likes to get into the picture, he is a real poser.
  

A beautiful scarf in the making, I love the different hues of colour.  A start has been made and plans changed, added to and edited.  Have you made a start yet, or are you a last minute type of person?

  World events have been uppermost in our minds and everyone affected by such adverse conditions are in our thoughts and prayers.  As always thank you for your support and most welcome comments.

See you soon.
