Home again after a very happy christening!  On the way back we spent time in Oxford - one of my favourite cities…..and I went down memory lane and saw the house where two of my offspring were born (not in the old Elizabethan building pictured here!!).  Finally I can't resist showing you the star of the weekend!

I spent a couple of happy hours yesterday splashing around with paint in my art-shed.  I usually end up with more paint on myself than on the paper….but never mind….I enjoyed myself!  I probably won't be blogging for the next few days because we're off to baby Olivia's christening…let's hope the predicted snow doesn't arrive yet, because we're going to the highest town in the UK.  (must pack some thermals…)

Finished at last…I didn't realise how colourful it was.  I do a lot of knitting in the evening when it is dark - so I get somewhat of a shock in morning light!!  Anyway - I'm quite pleased  with it and will try to get some photos with a human model - it looks less droopy on an actual person!!  I am now on the way with jacket no. 4….this time in blues.  Have a good day x

It's nearly finished.  I'm not sure whether I'm pleased with it or not….at least it's colourful - and actually it does look quite good when it's on a human!   Hopefully it will look even better when the pins are taken out….

Looking good isn't it?….the garden is ready to go…we've been hunting for good climbers and plants…roll on Spring.   In the meantime it is good to get back into the art shed…I have a feeling that I'll be on a roll in 2014!  The latest jacket is nearly ready for its photo shoot..  

What a glorious November day yesterday …. here is a view on my dog walk.  I then came home and did an hour's spinning in the garden….it was as though summer had returned.  Back to normal this morning - and now I'm off for a swim.  Have a good day!

It's good to remember summer days on a rather dull, dreary November morning…..I love these photos of the sea in the south of France…and look forward to being there again next year!  Meanwhile, there's lots going on here. I've almost finished jacket no. 3 and planning my creative life before the Brighton Festival and other exciting events… and tonight I'm off to a book launch!  Should be good….have a good weekend x
