A snack for in my break between shifts. Daughter had bought some for Bob and I tried them, and I have to say they are delicious. They are also shaped like pea pods so rather cute as well.
Monday
Bob not going to gymnastics this week as he was exhausted from doing a show at the weekend. So took Lilly a walk anyway and found a few blackberries left worth picking.
Spotted these in the shop and just had to treat myself.
Tuesday
Some nice autumnal colours about this week. Spot Lily running round the tree. She is now wandering away that bit more every time we are out and as long as we keep scanning the horizon for others dogs then she is ok.
Wednesday
I fancy trying my hand at patchwork and had spotted there is a local exhibition on displaying some amazing pieces of work. Also bumped into two women there who gave me some good hints and tips for starting off.
Thursday.
I got a lovely thank you card from the youngest granddaughter thanking me for the blanket I made her. Her writing is very good for somebody of six weeks old!!

Friday
Watching the gruesome twosome while DD1 took Bob to his theatre workshop. The minute I walk in the door they ask to go to the park, so we went. Sadly the other pics were blurry for some reason. Has been a much drier week this week so we went in shoes instead of wellies.

Have finished my cross stitching. Used a cream backing with gold stripes running through it and made it into a cushion. Looking very nice, hope the recipient likes it.
The cushion looks fab, I'm sure they will love it. Love those patchworks, I've only tried it once and would love to work on something again #366
ReplyDeleteI doubt they would tell me if they did not like it......
DeleteBeautiful Autumn tree - I do love this time of year. Love the double lollies from Swizzles - enjoy!!
ReplyDeletethe drumsticks are my favourite and detest the parma violets
DeleteI'm sure the recipient will love the cushion, it's fantastic! Love the autumn colours in the photo of Lilly running round the tree. That patchwork is amazing. I have no idea how people can do that!
ReplyDeleteNo I do not think I will ever achieve anything as marvellous as these but going to give it a go regardless.
DeleteThat snack looks interesting and the sweeties bring back some memories! The cushion looks fab!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in Autumn. So beautiful
snack was lovely, you should give them a try.
DeleteThe snappea snacks are rather moreish. We had some free from Blog On and they got snaffled pretty quick. Love the cushion.
ReplyDeleteshame I can not get to these blogging events, I am not surprised they got snaffled quickly.
DeleteI seem to recall that both my babies had brilliant hand writing at only a few weeks old too lol!
ReplyDeleteYour cushion looks wonderful Elaine - I am sure the lucky recipient will love it :)
I have started taking Copper off the lead on asks , but as you say my ryes are peeled there whole time for other dogs, other people and anywhere where he could suddenly decide to run off and explore! It is like having another child to look after fir sure! xx
Cooper is just a pup yet, train him well now and the rewards will pay off for years.
DeleteWow, those patchwork cushions are great .
ReplyDeleteI know I aspire to achieve a nice cushion in the next year.
Deleteoh i love swizzles and sweets in general, but sadly have to avoid them now as i'm worried i'll pull my teeth out. Love the autumnal tree, took me a while to spot Lily. Lovely that your daughter gave you a thank you card even though you see her most days, it is nice to be appreciated
ReplyDeletethe thank you card was a very nice gesture, hubby has laminated it to keep it nice.
DeleteLove the cushion, what a gorgeous present, I'm sure it will be appreciated. The quilts are beautiful. Autumn is such a wonderful, colourful time of year x
