Hello one and all and lots of love tucked in.
Life seems to be a constant soup here..... Not all hectic but pretty much so. I am quietly hooking as everything else grows in momentum.

Flights have now been booked to Dubaifor my son,his wife and the edible William for the 18th of August. So three weeks today they will be gone.

They are so stressed packing up a whole home and life but we have offered to help but understand they want to do it.... Hard!!!

Anyway. Well Anyway. On a mundane level. Ice packs have totally sorted out the dreaded piles. Embarrassing as it was. Perhaps that should read hilarious!!!!
Well that is one good thing dealt with.

I am making contemplative Lappys just now... Calming and useful.

Diana ... You are doing a wonderful job!!
jean I do hope life is calming down for you xx
pippa so glad you had a wonderful holiday xx

Lots of love to one and every MIA

ginny - so glad you enjoyed yourselves and OH managed to do some fishing it will have done him good to relax in the fresh air, you too, hand fasting sounds lovely, there was a blessing taking place in the chapel on the ship, it happens on most of them, even saw a wedding a few years ago an American one and oh boy was it a flash do but lovely to see, and all the family were on the cruise with the happy couple.
chalky - I feel for you it will be hard to wave them off,lots of Dubaii hols I expect though. Glad to hear your little problem is almost sorted now

Started to erect Sis in Laws shed yesterday - 4 off us......but not one brain cell amongst us! So we need to re-visit that job today and get the doors and the roof on, instead of stopping for tea every 10 minutes.....if there had been any neighbours they would have been entertained THE WHOLE AFTERNOON.

Lovely to see you back Pippa - Chalky great to know that you got to the bottom of the problem (groan!) Mrs Moneypenny have you launched the titanic yet? Love and cuddles to everyone - I am being yelled at to assist with THE SHED.........will pop back a bit later (when its finished?)

mrs-moneypenny

it will be another couple of years there are 3 chimmneys missing as well as the back decks and radio masts oh and a few more icebergs. im going to cheat and use glass beads as stars the thought of about 300 french knots terrifies me.

went to get grey roots decluttered this morning so started another angel pocket while there.

hope everyone is well
thinking of Kathy and everyone else who needs our hugs and support.

The gentlest hug to Kathy as you return home xxx

f1widow

am creeping in the back door ....
I must be the most unsupportive lurker going at the moment - sorry ! xxxx
I think of you all a lot, especially when I sit with my needles in hand and wonder what you are all up to, hoping that life is being kind (or kinder!) xxx
Anyway am promising to come back soon but thought whilst I was doing my end of month stash bust totals would "creep" in and do an update
UPDATE
1x baby blanket
2x baby hats
5x child hats
1x gloves
1x scarf
2x squares

Thank you keeper of the spreedie xxx

Am thinking of Kathy on her return from UK and of chalky who Im sure has probably one of the hardest months of her life coming up - if I was able I would deliver a hug in person but I hope a virtual one is accepted! xxx

Anyway I have tons of posts to read through so love to one and all (did notice the Titanic on the way here just stunning!) thinking of you xxx
