This week the weather has been rather wet but fortunately I only had a distance to travel on Wednesday, when I was teaching in Oxford. After three days of rain, today saw the sun appear and there was a lot of warmth from the rays even though we are half way through October. I'm hoping its sunny tomorrow as I need to plant some bulbs and I still have three plants to set in their final position. I will also need to take Missy and Twiglet for a long walk as the rain has kept all walks rather short and they both have a little too much energy. On the evenings I've been slowly stitching on the tablecloth. This was how far I had got at the beginning of the week.
Since then I 've slowly added some more flowers . Tomorrow I'll finish the mushrooms.
I'm finding this embroidery very restful and calming. I've no idea how long it will take to complete the whole cloth but the important thing is that I'm enjoying the process and slowly improving my embroidery skills.
Alongside the embroidery I have also been knitting and the front of the jumper is complete to just short of the armholes. Still a long way to go to complete the jumper but it is progressing rather well.
Looking ahead to next week the wicked blog hop will take place. Here is the schedule.
