Oooooh they look nice. I really fancy a bakewell now.

I've hung the heart picture. I need to hem a skirt. I've got Adele room of three that need hemming. I seem to get this far with less than perfect makes and give up. So that's on the cards today.

Have found my moto again after months from sewing ect. Have completed the following from my large knitting wool stash over the last week or so. Fell behind last year with my targets.
2 baby cardigans
1 baby dress
1 cushion

The cake look lovely good enough to eat ha ha.
I think it is good to encourage kids to try out different sports, hope it went well. Hope your all enjoying the lovely hot weather.:):):):):):)

So sorry to hear about your neighbour .
Hope teddy is back to full health after his op. I love teddy bears, i knitted one in the colours of the Tour De Yorkshire cycle race that was in my area in April. It was in a local charity shop perched on a cycle and sold for £3.50 so was well pleased.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am reliably told my cakes were well received. So easy to do - I'd forgotten that.

Teddy is recovering well. He had a wee hole worn in his chest (he's 8 1/2 now, belonged to grandson originally, but adopted by his sister, so been giving hugs non stop over his lifetime). It doesn't look like much work, but his innards are contained once more - and he got that heart transplant!

Beautiful card and Teddy looks well.

I'm glad ted recovered.

So far today I got hot and bothered. I did complete most of an application form and do washing. No sewing. I couldn't bring myself to as the sewing machine bulb gets hot.

I'm inspired by all the knitting and cars making.

I'm mostly jealous of the cakes. I still fancy a bakewell. Haha.

Hope you all stay busy this week.

I want a cake! And, of course, I didn't make any for us.

Well done on your knitted teddy sale, rosie.

I finally, after 2 years, got started on my scrapbook. I got 2 pages done.

Also, I made 6 Christmas cards.
