This week has been yet again, uncharacteristically lovely. Weather-wise anyway. It’s almost like it is actually summer, rather than this rubbish, rainy, cold stuff we have been used to over the last few years. I hope it stays for a little while at least.

But while it’s so nice outside, it seems a waste to spend time inside, so I haven’t been up to all that much crafting-wise. Or at least, not much I can tell you about just yet.

I did however finish the cross stitch that I started a few weeks ago:

It’s cute yes? It’s an old pattern from CrossStitcher Issue 256 that I had seen and marked as wanting to stitch a while ago. I am sort of thinking I may get a collection of little things and pictures together to decorate the walls in the crafting room…. once we get the roof fixed!

Also, I have purchased myself a new sewing pattern (I bought mine from the Village Haberdashery online… and also treated myself to the Lonsdale dress pattern…. I might get to it one day!) so that I can have a go at the Tofino sew-a-long!

I am hoping to at least sort out my pattern and perhaps buy/find some fabric today, as I’m feeling a little behind! Also, I should probably stay out of the sun today as I got a little pink yesterday. Oops. Turns out that if you sit outside Hart’s Bakery for 2 hours in the glorious weather….. you should probably remember sun lotion. Factor 50 all the way.
