Well I might have been optimistic about getting it done before camping (we were meant to go last week) but if my pace continues it should be done by the end of august. Time to decide on the next project. Or I suppose I could finish one of the WIPs but that's much less fun to think about.

Have given up on productivity for today and going for comfort

Another day,another national trust property. This is Wightwick Manor which I didn't realise was having a Rosetti exhibition in the house itself

Today's attempt at trying to keep myself and the dog cool. Reports on its success/failure to follow

It's been all chopped up and flash frozen. I'm dubious but it's worth giving a go

Further update. I've got maybe a quarter left as the bit in between the trees is a real mix of colours. Hopefully I'll have it finished by the time I go camping in August which would be fitting.

First time growing pak choi. It grew well, but something started munching on it before I could 😂

Two stalks of Pak choi. The leaves are green and healthy but have evidence of bugs damage with holes over a medium amount of the leaves.

Apparently what I needed to work on this project was people talking and train travel.Luckily at the point with some solid blocks of colour so slightly less counting required

More progress. Also proof that I really need to allow more fabric than I think. It'll fit but it's going to be tight

This week's progress. I like where this one starts as it has the most colour changes and then moves out into bigger blocks of colour.

In progress cross-stitch, with several completed letters and a mixture of blues and purples behind it.

I haven't been doing any crafts for the last month but finally managed to start a new cross-stitch project I've been hoarding supplies for for a while.

Said dress. Look it has fossils, even with a fabric belt it was always going to be a temptation. And yes I have odd socks on, I was going to be outside all day and I wanted to stay warm but couldn't find a matching pair

Current train book. The dark humour is the right level for me, and I'm enjoying reading it but I can already see it's going to be a hard one to describe/ talk about with people.

I have brought all the things because gritty forbid there should be an opportunity for me to get bored on my train ride 😂

On a train pull down table sits a very full green craft bag with golden bees on it, a book whose title is obscured by a set of wireless headphones and a water bottle that has a rather large Citrus scale sticker.

Round two of edits to this pattern. I flat measured everything so hopefully it should be pretty close. I'm also unpicking version 1 and using the back and sleeves from it as they were pretty much okay.

This is my go-to thing whenever I have to bring food things so I've made it many times. However, because in my infinite wisdom I put the cooked pasta amount, I ALWAYS without fail make too much pasta. This year I have decided to be sensible and just leave out the excess. This is not always the case😂

The dog has turned into a bit of a cuddlebug. After coming home from a neighbourhood walk,he had his 5 minutes of being a drama queen and then just plopped himself down by the side of me and rested his head in my lap. It's very cute and encourages lots of pets but also strongly discourages moving.

Trying to get better at wearing the fun earrings I buy, rather than completely forgetting or getting self conscious. Today is the turn of the bees (left). The art pallet surprisingly I've worn a fair amount, even though I thought they might be a bit bulky. Maybe there's hope got my Miss Frizzle era.

Two sets of earrings. The lefthand set is of an enamel bee, with a honeycomb as the matching earring. The righthand set is of a pencil and artists pallet. The overall effect is cheerful and oversized.

This monstrosity of a project has also been resurrected, as I still need a tea cozy and I also need a half finished project that is not in the round.

Suncani/Sun @suncani.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

It needs a damn good pressing and the hem finishing, but this I was quite proud of as it was slippy fabric, spaghetti straps and a lining. It needs a rolled hem though to finish it and I'm scared of those 😬😂

Well this turned into a comedy of errors, however the top is only *slightly* brown. We'll see how it tastes in the morning.

Here's a dog that is still confused that he does not fit in laps anymore.(But will still try anytime the humans are sat on a horizontal surface.

Normally I have two or three projects on the go in varying sizes. This is one of my bigger ones - it'll be an antique moon but I'm finding working on black more challenging than expected.

Sushi cats cross-stitch is done. This was a smaller pattern I picked up for Worldcon but took me longer than expected.

A piece of completed cross-stitch of two cats designed to look like sushi. The cat on the left is white and looks like a piece of salmon sashimi. The cat on the right is ginger and looks like a maki roll.

My mixed bag of crafts for the week. This is either barely going to get touched or completed during the first day.

An array of craft projects. Left to right, a pastel rainbow ball of wool with circular needles, a I started cross-stitch of two cats done up as sushi and bag full of fabric squares and completed patchwork hexies.

I'm having strong flashbacks to my childhood. Luckily I only have a small veggie patch so this harvest is much more manageable 😁

1hr 30 mins later and the pieces for an Estuary skirt are cut out. Not quite Sewing Bee ready but at least now the fun part starts.

Going Underground! Spent the afternoon exploring Cheddar Gorge and the caves. Surprisingly few people, although ran out of energy so couldn't walk up Jacob's Ladder or the Cliff. But the caves were beautiful.
