I’ve been really wanting to try out watercolour

I’ve been really wanting to try out watercolour painting since @bethanne.whitearbor started posting her her Art Therapy Thursday classes back in April. Today I finally took the plunge and I’m so glad I did. I’ve never really painted before so I’m definitely in the complete novice category but I’m more than delighted with my first few attempts and I’m definitely going to work my way through Bethanne’s classes and just learn as I go.

After a break of just over three and a half months

After a break of just over three and a half months the daily commute is back, although for now I’m only going to do it once a week.

The boys came home from school and got straight in

The boys came home from school and got straight into the pool which meant I had to drop what I was doing and head out into the garden to supervise.
I have decided that instead of starting a new mini EPP project my “summer sewing” will be to finally finish this project.
Yes I know this is crochet but project this will be a fusion of crochet and EPP so I think it counts.

Summer is definitely here, the holidays start next

Summer is definitely here, the holidays start next weekend and as long as the weather holds this is where I’ll be for the foreseeable. We’ve cancelled all our usual holiday plans and set up for a holiday at home because we definitely won’t be joining the hordes and masses at the lake or the outdoor pools.
Today I’ve got my crochet out but as I finally have some plans for a new EPP mini project it hopefully it won’t be long before this is my summer sit and sew spot.

These beauties are blooming just outside my front

These beauties are blooming just outside my front door and I love that every time I leave the house or walk past I get greeted by their beautiful scent.

Today is my son’s first day back at zoo club sin

Today is my son’s first day back at zoo club since the lockdown began. It’s also his last day there and it struck me this morning that I should make him a small gift to say thank you to the club organiser.
Mug rugs aren’t common here in Switzerland, but everyone loves their Z’nüni and Z’vieri breaks. So instead of having coffee this morning I managed to make a quick mug rug during my own Z’nüni break feom work. I bound it quickly at lunch time and then it was packaged up with some tasty treats just in time for zoo club.

I’ve been planning on doing some sewing for the last few weeks.
However, somehow the only sewing I actually manage to get the machine out for is early morning emergency repairs.

There has been a little parcel of Japanese Liberty

There has been a little parcel of Japanese Liberty trying to make it’s way to me since March. It started it’s journey all hopeful, but then had to sit in an Japanese post office for a couple of weeks when the country shut down. It returned to it’s sender who patiently looked after it till postal services resumed. Then it made it’s way quickly to Switzerland and when I missed the postman it, and another little package, went to sit in the post office here for a day or two. I asked the post office to redeliver my parcels to me. I gave them the authorisation to just leave them in my postbox in case I missed the postman again. So they delivered the other package nad for some unknown reason decided to ship the little Japanese parcel back to it’s sender 😢 so now the waiting game begins all over again and I must admit I’m feeling rather annoyed with the Post this evening.
