Weekend - waiting for it to warm up

We woke to a hard frost but bright and sunny, unlike yesterday's rainy day.

Whilst I am waiting for the garden to warm and dry up a bit, I thought I'd share some photos I played around with on Friday while Jess was napping (and it was raining). But before those.......

Rather than stay home yesterday and watch the rain we went down to London for our quarterly Ikea/Costco/Green Lanes trip.  We took Rachel and Jess as they really needed to go to Ikea and Stu was on a bike ride (mad or what).  Jess was sporting her new body warmer, and even if I say so myself she just looked so cute in it.  You see girls don't have to wear pink - she is also wearing her bead necklace that we made on Friday, as was Pops. I think he was very brave walking around Ikea in a necklace don't you?!!

Anyway back to the photos from Friday,

Right must get on, a few shrubs to move today, and it sounds like the washing machine has finished.  Enjo your Sunday.

Knitting - photography

I'm on a quest to take better photographs of my knitting projects and just better photographs in general.

My daughter Rebecca pointed me in the direction of this workshop at Makelight - I hesitated at first, not wanting to go alone, then thought what the hell.  Peter plans to come to London with me, but spend the time I'm there on his own pursuits, then meet up later, so win win.

Rebecca has been on several of Emily's workshops and highly recommends them, you can see the proof of the skills she learnt by checking out her blog - Really Pretty Useful.

So watch this space after September 12th and see what tips I pick up.
