Hello everyone! How are you all? Did you step outside to watch the Eclipse? We tried the pin hole in cardboard and actually did get a very very small reflection against the garage wall. We also managed to get our Son outside to join us to so that we could share the moment. I was expecting it to go a lot darker and be a bit more dramatic but it was what it was 😊. Although I've not done a lot of sewing because it's just been way too hot for me I have been preparing work though and just need some free time to get it done. The last 4 or 5 days have been a little trying with Hubby's van taking a turn and needing urgent repairs. That went in on Tuesday so he had to hire a Van for a week. Later on Tuesday he was helping a friend and tore a calf muscle so has been resting as much as possible since. But I must say he has become the master of funny walks! This morning I got woken up to, "the fridge freezer has broken" and then "the coffee machine has broken". We then popped out for a coffee; I popped my bag on a table and took the table number so I could order.....table 13....what an irony! Anyway, enough of my woes, things could be so much worse! I have taken a little time out in the evenings to crochet a lovely pattern (keeping them a secret at the moment) and I've almost finished two, except for their faces with another three in progress until I have some more yarn arrive tomorrow or possibly Friday. Two Mice have set off for home to in time for the big day. So I am keeping my self busy whilst sitting in front of a fan. I've got two more Mice to finish so need to attend to them very soon to. Tomorrow I hope to get some sewing done early in the morning before it gets too warm whilst I wait for a fridge to turn up but for now I'm watching The Sheep Detective. So have a lovely evening everyone and speak soon. X Helen
