Eid Mubarak

Hi everyone - it's Eid in Bradford but I didn't celebrate this year, or even send out cards, but I did make a brooch for a friend....

Ha-PEA Eid everyone!

One bedraggled Jackdaw

Looks like he sat in the rain all night....


Little black cat discovering the stairs

A Lovely plate I found last week

 - with a matching serving dish and casserole.

These were a nice surprise - glass beads from a friend who went to Venice.

I've been sewing......

Jack spotted sitting on the roof of my house....
I think the photos of Jack are probably getting a little same-y now - he is either in the same place on the wire fence or the same place on the wooden fence or down on the ground eating bread!  He seems to have his own little pattern and doesn't often do much else.  So, finding him on the house roof was AMAZING!  I'm easily excited!

My mum made this for the Craft Stamper Challenge....HI MUM!!!! - I know you'll be reading this!

..... and received this in return

and this is the back of the one she received.... HI MUM!!!! - 
Little black creatures seem to be drawn to me at the moment - this one stayed for most of the weekend.....

Cute ball of fluff

awwww

nice dinner.....

And she stayed and waited for me by the front door for FOUR hours while I went out for the afternoon!
A mini book for a friend.... photos of her garden - she was delighted!



hanging baskets


I recognise this one - it's a hydrangea (not sure whether I can spell it!!)



 And of course - it is 'that' time of year again.....Thornton Scarecrow festival.....

The is Alun outside the Blue Boar, with his knitted scarf and and empty pint glass and the Thornton Directory in his hand.
.. and this lady was spotted knitting on Hugill Street - doesn't she know that knitting club is at the Blue Boar on a Friday afternoon.....
