Bits and Pieces

 

I seem to have blogged about all sorts of things over these last 2 weeks since I started blogging

and

I thought it time to show the next step

hence the name......

Bits and Pieces

When I talked about the rabbits I showed you

 my idea

of getting large pots that they,

hopefully,

wouldn't manage to get into!

I went to the garden centre

and bought a selection of shrubs and pansies...

now potted out this afternoon

We'll just have to wait and see......

if the rabbits discover how to get to them!

**************

I told you about the mess the neighbour's cattle made on my lawn

They came round this afternoon to try and sort it out

Bless them!

Notice hubbie out there with them.

No doubt ....

helpfully... telling them what they are doing wrong

and

how to do it right...

(If my experience is anything to go by!!)

**********************************

I told you a couple of blogs ago how my mother used to do a lot of the real fairisle knitting.

I found a lot of jumpers etc that she had knitted for my children. 

The jumpers had been folded up in a box so don't look their best.

These are just a few...there are at least another couple of photos of them

and ...finally!!

When Mum was down a couple of weeks ago

she brought an embroidery she had done when she was 14

It was done on old corn sacks as there wasn't much other material available at that time.

She found, the other day when she was going through her things and wanted to know if I'd like it

I thought I would have it framed for her and picked it up last week.

I am hoping to go to see her next week and will take it with me.

I found it difficult to pick frames, mounting boards etc so I hope that she likes it!

So...that's it

I told you that it was a lot of bits and pieces

If you are like me, though, it's always good to know what happens next!!
