This Week.....

......one minute, I've got not a lot to say, next thing you know, you can't shut me up! Anyhoot, here's a pictorial record of my week...

Saturday's Supermoon.....

Monday morning's journey to work under bright blue skies.....

To Infinity and Beyond.......

 

Never get tired of this view

Stopped at the traffic lights!

Wednesday is Library Day with the Principessas. It's our weekly ritual, even though our books get stamped out for three weeks at a time!

anyway, I chose this book because it had some nice angels in it,(though mine won't be slopping around in their dressing gowns all day!) like the ones my friend, Julie in Oz makes with such professionalism and precision. I'm not pretending that I can reach that level but I'm going to give them a good try. I particularly loved her latest make, a beautiful Christmas Angel so with that in mind,I set about copying,tracing, glueing and cutting with abandon until I had all the bits I needed. Now it's just a matter of finding the time and proper materials to make my own version, hopefully for THIS Christmas!

Hope my Angel doesn't end up looking like Alfred Hitchcock!

Makes brilliant tracing paper!

and Aldi's Christmas Brochure is perfect for using as backing paper!

Snip, snip

I've had this tracing paper for so long. You can tell by the pricetag!

 

My local knitting group was on the tv! The ladies of the group have knitted,crocheted and sewn a total of 3,000 poppies as a nod to the Tower of London Ceramic Poppies, for Remembrance Day and they've been installed all around our church and churchyard.

 Here is the leader of the knitting group being interviewed. It was a gloriously sunny day, if a little cold.

The poppies looked spectacular at night time when the church is lit up. I shall try and get a pic soon.

Can you guess what these are? Well, they're Gnomes! My sister asked for them for her Christmas mantlepiece. I was happy to oblige, even though they look a little odd!!

Are you crafting for Christmas or would you rather lie down in a darkened room until it's all over? I know I would!

Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Pinch Punch......

 .......the first of the Winter months. Yes, we've definitely reached the back end of the year. The trees tell us so. It seems but such a short time since we were celebrating the lazy, hazy days of Summer....

.....I have these to remind me. My Pal, Betty sent these gorgeous glass sweets, which look good enough to eat, to me in the Summertime, alongwith the colourful picture postcard of Brighton Pavilion which I placed in a frame for safekeeping and from which to replicate the colours for the latest blanket I'm intending to start any day now......

 

 

 ....have you joined the CAL (Crochet-A-Long)?

 I can join in now that I've made the Scary Monster Hats for Halloween.

 

 The last of the Hydrangeas were included in a little Autumnal Wreath for my back door.

Then another 'old' blogging pal was having a little sale in her Etsy shop. She makes the most delightful vintage bags and purses so I treated myself to a new pouch and she also threw in a mini-purse for my lippy (not that I wear that much of it these days but my Mother insists that I do because 'you never know who you might meet in the supermarket'! Her theory has proved inefficient thus far)!

I love beautifully wrapped parcels.

And that just about wraps up this post, Dearest Readers but I am trying very hard to be more consistent with my blogging, honestly.

Are you getting ready for Winter? Do tell.
