Apologies but I had completely lost track of time. I have been working on the sweater dress. I am working on a new section of it. I am quite pleased with how it is looking. I am pleased to report that my latest vlog has gone live. Do pop over to You Tube and haveContinue reading “Oops!”

Our friends left today. I feel very sad. A part of mindfulness is about recognising that we feel different emotions at different times in our lives and that is normal. So actually it would be strange if I didn’t feel something. Earlier in the week I was given quite a lot of vegetables by ourContinue reading “Au revoir !”

I am currently working on a pattern which I am testing for a woman in Australia. I have had some challenges because I couldn’t get suitable yarn. I have had to compromise on what I am using. For some reason we are being sent the pattern in three different stages. I am currently close toContinue reading “Pattern testing”

Our friends are still with us, so at the moment it’s as though we are on holiday. Today we went and saw a Cairn that is about 5000 years old, went to two brocantes and had lunch out. I had been told about a particular crêperie in Carhaix but it was our first visit. IContinue reading “Still holidaying”

Our friends arrived on Friday morning on the overnight ferry, so we’ve been holidaying all weekend. We seem to have already crammed so much in. We’ve been to Concarneau, Quimper, Huelgoat and the trembling rock to just mention some of it. I have got ahead of myself and recorded this week’s vlog. At the momentContinue reading “Monday again!”

I’m so pleased to say that my latest video has gone live. This week I am discussing how we can read and adapt patterns. I have used the same pattern with three different types of yarn. Do pop over to You Tube and let me know what you think. Until Monday…

Well we didn’t make it. I had really hoped that we would have our new bathroom finished. Unfortunately with holes in the wall it is isn’t possible to have our friends stay in the house. Instead they will be staying in the gîte. We have rearranged the large family room for them. I am pleasedContinue reading “Oh dear!”

Today has been very busy one way or another. I had a hospital appointment first thing. I came back and put together some of the information needed for this week’s vlog. I think that that is on track. This afternoon was Knit and Natter. I am continuing to go each week. I do enjoy myContinue reading “On track or maybe not!”

I have been looking at ideas on line to see how others are presenting their videos. I noticed someone saying that they are filming weeks or months in advance. I think that they have a creative team working with them. At the moment there’s me and one of my son’s editing. This afternoon I wentContinue reading “A quiet day”

We came back from our short break yesterday. I didn’t want to come home however I think it’s better to leave wanting more. There is plenty for us to be getting on with. The cats seem cross that we’ve been away. This is despite that there were people here the entire time that we weren’t!Continue reading “Home time”
