Bettie's Pullover has been my stitchy focus and I have reached the section headed "Finishing" - woo hoo!
This weekend I have been sewing up my Pyjama Party set... but I can't show you that until the Big Reveal on the 28th when all the Party People have a rave together - exciting!

This is a great deal for us. FL is certainly not fit for such physical work and I wouldn't know where to begin. It is not good for the land to lie fallow for too long and we can't afford to contract out the whole cycle of ploughing / sowing / harvesting. We lost a lot of money the last time we tried.
However, this means we have to be more creative when walking the dog, to find new routes avoiding 18-inch-deep ruts and opportunities to roll in slime and pick up ticks. Nice!
FL has a horrible cough and took to his bed yesterday, but may have perked up a bit today.
The Girl's exams start this week.
Did I tell you she has decided to move to London for 6th Form?
And we have mallard ducks nesting down by the pond!

Gotta go - Bettie needs my attention!

Pretty nails! Can't wait to see your sweater too!
fabulous colour!
Gosh, you do have lots going on. I hope FL is feeling much better very soon, and that Bettie's pullover behaves herself in the final stages. Exciting news from The Girl!
I am still an avid reader (if a very quiet, normally non-commenting one)! I just had to shout out to you about this:

because THIS, I think - is so totally 'you'...
Warmest Wishes,

I'm going to steal your "deceptive calm" photo and use it as my background. :-)
I have to say I've never seen snapdragons that colour, more like the poppies that grow in my garden. Can't wait to see blue sage!
It all sounds good - hope cough improves and exams go well. The last piece of info about the ducks reminded of the first episode of The Sopranos! Looking forward to seeing your PJs x
Love the shot of 'deceptive calm' with the long view you have... quite peaceful appearing. Intending that FL's feeling poorly is a temporary condition and he is up and about with more vim and vigour by the time you read this... what is 'healthy' nail polish? I must have missed a post.
Marie - thanks for that link. I hadn't seen that pattern before and it is intriguing indeed!
Clare - I regret I have never seen The Sopranos but I expect it involved gunshot?
Sandy - yes you must have missed my waffle about 3-free nail polish.
