Catching Up

My flowers in the house for the past week have been these beautiful carnations.....


After some days of rain  and rather dismal weather - fortunately not as severe as in Sydney and the Hunter Valley - it was lovely to be welcomed by a little sunshine in the house this morning......
...and it was still shining on my way home from work.....

Have been busy stitching the Stitch a Long project but the 5 blocks here became 3 after unpicking my little bug appliques as I had sewn their wings on under their little bodies instead of on top - I guess you could say they were flying upside down! 


A little knitting of my cardigan has been happening too - but no photos and not a lot achieved - there was some unpicking with that too as I had incorrectly read the instructions! 

The postman dropped off this little purchase from The Home Patch.......

..... and I finished reading......



.......  set in China and Japan from 1903 - 1942 and following historical events of the time it tells the story of a young English woman living in China then in Japan after she leaves her daughter and husband following an affair with a Japanese soldier - quite a good read.










Off to search through my "unread books" bookshelf for my next book......

Happy stitching
Asta
