Storms and gifts

We are having thunderstorms at the moment coming up from Algeria, with lots of rumbles and grumbles but very little rain, which is a shame as the garden and veggie plot would benefit. The satallite tv and internet connections are intermittent, just hope we don't lose the power


At first we thought it was the fiesta in the nearby town where they are celebrating the Moors and Christians festival with the more noise the better theory.

I made this colourful caterpillar with suffolk puffs for DD's friend's little one, Lucy decided it was a very strange bug she had not seen before and was investigating. We have 5 cats and they bring us an array of 'gifts' most of which we are able to rescue and return, but I did draw the line at the snake they brought in, luckily DH dealt with it.

Made these little gift pouches for EBCC, will probably make some more using Christmas fabric for little pressies or after dinner mints for the table

It can get surprisingly cold here in winter so I made these for DD, I have another pair on the go using a different pattern, which may find their way into my stocking!
