I have been enjoying lovely spring weather this weekend and got stuck into some serious garden tidying. I borrowed a more powerful pressure washer and got rid of the winter slime. It was a messy job but worth it. I had to stop when the old flaky paint looked like it might wash off the walls. I repainted the front of my shed which had gone green and most of the fence which is pretty rotten. After mowing the grass and buying Nessie a new basketball, I felt very satisfied. I even cut down a sycamore tree that was growing through the fence.
I finished the dolly quilt which ended up at 12” square with 196 pieces then went on to make two tiny housewife pillowcases. I did all that while listening to an audio book from the library so it was quite a nice wee project. I am beginning to feel like completing the patchwork coat next;)
Fergus and his band, Amplehouse, released a beautiful single this week and got a rave review from Indie Music Magazine. It just needs to be spotted by the right person to get it some radio airplay!
Nessie and I are having a slow day and meeting a friend for a walk on the edge of Dartmoor later. I might just tidy up the mess I made in the back bedroom / sewing room first…
