Hello lovelies. I’m writing today from my lovely home desk; looking out at the pruned lavender and roses – that was a Sunday job, in the hope more bloom will be out for Christmas Day. I’m watching Bridgerton promos, hoping these turn out at least half as good as the books. At the very least they seem to be educating a few on the Georgian court/clothing/colours. And I’m mildly celebrating the Electoral College confirming Joe Biden as the next POTUS.
There hasn’t been anything exotic this last week, unless you consider only having to cook a couple of nights as exotic! Not only did we eat out twice (once for work do, once with a very dear friend) but the boys decided not to clean up the kitchen. If there isn’t workspace, I don’t cook! No travel, no adventure – I’m needing to hunker down for a bit until Christmas is done. Irrespective of it being our Saviour’s birth, it can be a very stressful time.
Stitching wise I am slowly moving along with both the middle Summer hoop of Hands on Design’s Well Rounded, but I’ve completed the stitching portion of the top side of the Faby Reilly biscornu. There is a LOT of back stitch in my future…
Stay well – stay home, wear a mask, support your local retailers where you can. x

that stitching looks interesting and enjoy looking out at the cloudless sky – well it’s basically like that in the West today – wind whistling around the pad but a cold one…just keeping it nice indoors.
It’s sweltering here in Auckland. If you were to look up Humid you’d find us
oh that’s a lovely design with the foxes!
Just wait until the BS is done!
I love the dancing foxes. I love lavender too, but we have to replant it each year. No matter what “hardy” variety we buy it dies at the first deep frost.
Find one that works for a place called Alexandra, here in the South Island. It has the most extreme weather, full on snow in winter and drought in summer. If it lasts there it will last anywhere
Wow. I will look for sure. I haven’t found one that would endure that.
