Mojo

I kind of lost my sewing mojo.  It was linked into moving house and my sewing room looking like this:

 

But, Mr. SDSC has been very busy building my units, and I will be back to full sewing speed pretty soon,  There are still some things that need moving from the old house (we downsized our house without downsizing our possessions.  Oops!)

In the meantime, I resorted to my more portable hobby - some knitting, and have cast on a cute scarf called Hitchhiker (you can pick up the pattern on Ravelry).  I am using some lovely self-striping yarn called Schoppel-Wolle Crazy Zauberball.  The scarf has teeth along one edge and gently curves.  Very cute!  Here is my progress so far:

And here is a photo of my little helper enjoying the afternoon sun - Rocky the greyhound:

Summer Garden

We plan to sell our house in the New Year - we have already put down the money to build a new bungalow - and as the house will be on MLS during the winter - the external photos will show a snow covered garden - not very indicative of the loveliness that we have :o)  So I set about last weekend taking some pics . . . .

OK, so I got some great pics of the incoming storm.  I do think that the dark sky casts a fabulous light over the garden . . . . ohh, and then I saw the lilies . . . .

And then this bizarre bud on one of the dogwoods . . . .

And then I had to get a couple of pics of Rocky, one of our greyhounds, who really was enjoying the garden . . . . .

And that was it really.  I'm not sure any of these are suitable for listing our house, but I kinda like them anyway!
