Our Special Day…

Today was our 14th wedding anniversary…
Richard rose early and went for a bike ride and had returned by the time I was awake. Caiden and I went out into the garden at dawn, the mist was so heavy and beautiful…
We found fallen autumn leaves, some acorn caps and fairies who have come to visit our garden, living in the sweetest little mushrooms…
Even a Bullbull came to drink from the fountain…
Richard and I went out together this morning and while we were out, I popped into a favourite little fabric shop to buy a pinking shears, I love these things, wonderful for cutting edges… But then I saw all this fabric and I couldn’t resist. The above fabric, I was hoping to use to make Roman blinds for my studio. The afternoon sun streams in and some blinds would be lovely. I have never made Roman blinds before, so if anyone has any suggestions or tutorials that they could direct me towards, I would really be most grateful! I have bought everything I need, but a simple how to would be much appreciated:)
Then I spotted this… Ok it is time, I have been saying I wanted to make a quilt for ages and Jenna asked me this morning if we could make a quilt together:) This would be a lovely collaborative project for mama and daughter:) So it is a done deal, we will soon be quilting:)
Couldn’t forget the blues…
This beautiful boquet was delivered for me this morning from Richard, the blooms and colours are so pretty and I will possibly continue with my tradition of dyeing some yarn with these flowers once they have started to fade and then knit something special with it …
    

We all sat out in our garden together and celebrated our anniversary with a special family tea, and had a beautiful morning, grateful for each other and all the precious moments in our life that we have shared over the last 14 years together… I am married to my best friend and I love him very much…

Happy Tuesday everyone…
Warmly
Linda

Our Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend, on Sunday we went to a food market at Uncle Tim’s Cabin, which is just on the outskirts of Benoni, near the small farms. What a lovely centre, they sell antiques, secondhand books etc… Yesterday was a food market and we met our lovely neighbours there and had a grand morning together. We sat at a table under the trees, knitting, chatting and listening to live music… The children played and went exploring…

Cady and Aaron looking for fish…
Isn’t that just the biggest cupcake…

Did I mention there were secondhand books for sale… Well I of course went straight to the knitting and needlecraft section of books and found some fantastic editions… I found an old Scouting Book too…

These books have such beautiful vintage patterns in them, tonight I am going to sit down and have a really good look.

I also found a beautiful old fairy tale book, I couldn’t resist, it reminded me of ones I had when I was little…

One other thing… I have started to wear skirts again and dresses! I never really wear them, but now, I think I will and I think I rather like them. I have been out to the fabric shop and found the most amazing fabric, it is actually quilting fabric and I am going to make skirts for Jen and Erin. I also intend to make my first quilt… I will post pictures of my progress…

For everyone waiting for the wrist warmer pattern to be posted at Our Holistsc Life, Carle’ will be posting it soon and I will let you all know as soon as it is on her blog 🙂
