Autumn has now arrived and with it there are signed of fading glory and decay.  I think there is something rather beautiful about this dying rose.....having said that, I still wish if was Spring and that we had lighter days and warmth to look forward to!!! 

You.ve probably had enough  of seeing these jackets, but this is to give another example of the good camera on my phone.  I've also added one of my painted silk scarves.....I'm now planning the next knitted piece and have managed to spin some yarn with my left foot.  (Right foot is still causing grief so crutches still in use).   It's really sad that summer now seems to be over isn't it?  Still, it has been amazing and hopefully the memories of the sun will keep us all going for a bit x

Our boy Jeeves has been very excited to discover a new escape route from the bedroom...on to the new conservatory roof.  Last night Jack filmed him and we discovered he goes straight to our neighbour's house....knocks on the kitchen  door.  Lo and behold a few minutes later a small bowl of delectable catty meat and was brought out, which he devoured.  We wondered why he was getting fatter!!!!

My grandson took these pictures to try out the camera on my new phone.  I think the quality is really good - so am now looking forward to some serious photography!!

A more mature model today (!) - but here is the completed art-to-wear jacket no. 2.  Actually it is very comfortable so I am sure I will wear this in the winter.  I guess now I shall have to start planning no. 3.....I might even think about making them to sell.  At least I have learned a lot making the first two - I will probably simply the shape if I am thinking of making to sell.  Meanwhile I am somewhat frustrated because I can't spin  or dye yet due  to wrecked foot.  Although it is healing I am so aware that one wrong movement could put me back to square one....so crutches are here to stay for a little longer!

The other day my eldest granddaughter modelled a felted knit jacket.  Today I thought I would show you my youngest granddaughter modelling plaited strips of dyed fabric as a hair piece (don't worry - she won't be left on her own with them!!)  I have now got to decide what my other three grandchildren can model....although come to think of it I don't think the 19 yr. old soldier would be too impressed with that idea!!!

As I sat weaving nothing in particular, I remembered my painting of beach huts.....so decided to do something 'beach-hutty'.  By this time I had already started the weaving so had to weave huts upside down!  I am aware that they look more like skyscrapers....but artist's licence and all that......
