Beth finished a couple of cushions she was making for a neighbour yesterday. I think they're lovely so I'm showing them off!
Yesterday went well. I had a great old natter to my friend over some good coffee before heading off home to do a bit of gardening and get the runner beans in. I also fed the soil where the seeds are planted with some garden compost and some slow release granules so, fingers crossed, they will be good and prolific this year. And I reckon I will be picking and eating two strawberries at some point today!
After lunch, L came round and I had another good gossip with her over a cuppa. All very sociable.
And then, later on, after umming and ahing, I went off to SW group. I was going to dodge it after some horrendous scoffing over the weekend as I was absolutely sure I would show a big gain but, guess what - half a pound off. I'm really not sure how I managed that bit I'll take it with gratitude and I'm glad I went!
Today starts off with a swim, followed by some more gardening, scraping weeds out from around the paving slabs. All that bending and squatting is great exercise! I shall walk round to vote at some point and this evening it is pottery. I have one coaster to glaze, two that should be finished, fingers crossed, one to smooth off before firing and a leaf bowl to start on, having sorted out the leafy shapes last week. That should keep me busy.
I have tuition too, so I have a bit of planning to do and I shall tackle a bit more clutter. Doing a little bit everyday seems to be working at the moment; it's never too daunting.
Well, the gym opens at half past six and I have my SW blog to write before I go so I'd better stop rambling. Have a super day with lots of good things. xx
Morning Joy. What a talented daughter you have! The cushions are really lovely, well done Beth. Your day sounds good, enjoy your first strawberries. And congratulations on the loss, that must have been a relief. xx
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Sooze. She really is very creative and artistic to go with the handicraft skills.
DeleteYes, it was a massive relief.

Beautiful cushions.
ReplyDeleteI have 1 strawb just starting to turn pick - a very small treat!
Thanks, Sue, and enjoy your strawberry when you pick it! :-)

Lovely cushions I bet Beth is pleased with them.
ReplyDeleteYes, she was really pleased with how they came out. Thanks, Diane.

Lovely cushions!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I love them. I'm wondering if she could make some for me although not elephants!

Congratulations on the loss - at least the numbers are heading in the right direction. I hope you have a good time at your pottery class. Are you making the bowl to match the coasters or is it a completely separate thing?
ReplyDeleteI think I might use the same glaze, but it's not intended that they go together as such.
DeleteAnd yes, the numbers are in the right direction, thank goodness.

Congratulations on your half a pound. I wish my weight was coming off as opposed to creeping on.
ReplyDeleteLove those cushions. Your daughter is so talented. X
I know I'm biased but yes, I do think she is. :-) Thanks, Jules.

Thanks for your explanation of "airing." Beth's cushions are really very cute. Hope her business is taking off. Sounds like a very busy day you've had!
ReplyDeleteIt was a busy day but a very pleasant one, all the same.
DeleteI don't know about taking off but she seems to be busy so that's a good thing.
