Bearded Iris, Bubbles and Knitting

27 May

1   We bought some beautiful Bearded Irises the other day. This one, Black Swan, is absolutely stunning with sunlight and morning dew still on it.

2    This afternoon next door’s children were blowing bubbles  which drifted across into our garden, gorgeous against the cerulean sky.

3   After working for hours in the garden, I took some time out, knitting my last piece for Wool Against Weapons. This will be my 8th and now I need to start knitting a ballerina wrap for Grand-baby T who has recently started lessons.

Fingerless glove, Colourgirl and Deborah’s turtle

20 Nov

1  Mr Smith had the bright idea that a fingerless glove might keep my arthritic wrist warm without restricting movement as the wrist splint does so I downloaded a pattern and knitted one this morning. Brilliant! It’s helping.

2 The Colourgirlz started work on the front door. Veronika worked so hard and already there is transformation – ugly wallpaper gone and  undercoats on front door and porch woodwork.

3  Deborah had an encounter with a turtle:

”  I had an amazing close encounter with an enormous sea turtle yesterday.  I was close, but at a respectful distance, and he swam over to where I was.  He blew bubbles for me and looked as if he wanted to climb into my lap.  He craned his head out of the water, getting as close as possible.  He felt so wise and ancient. I stayed with him for a long while, just communicating with him and loving him, what an incredible gift.  I attached a photo of him blowing bubbles!”
