She's such a show off!






...that Lady Eleanor I mean....

See those bits? That is all I had left from 10 skeins of Noro Transitions. I bought it for half price so she was a bargain. I love her...she has had a bath in some gorgeously moisturising Eucalan
and has been blowing in the summer breeze to get so soft and fluffy. Even her reverse side is interesting....

I am looking forward to wrapping myself in her beauty and smelling the summer warmth on her. I had to make the fringe a bit shorter because I was running out rapidly, in fact, I was one fringe short and so I stood up and looked around me and found a strand under my bum!

Anyway, I am ill, got a gland the size of a hard boiled egg in my neck. I knew I was getting ill on Saturday at the jewellery workshop, which was brilliant by the way. My throat is so sore, I ache and ache and ache...been taking anti biotics since Monday morning but still feel so poorly. Barry says I will feel better tomorrow but he's not a real doctor.

Loads more to show you but let's just enjoy that actress Eleanor for a while.....I'm off for a snooze now x

My Ali is being a bit chatty lately...check her out here xx

She is very beautiful. I hope you feel better soon. Swollen glands are quite sore arent they. I had one earlier in the summer this year. Remember to gargle salty water and drink honey and lemon with hot water. It should help.

Lovely and such great colours!

Awesome! Just the prettiest shawl I have seen in quite awhile.

I hope by now you are felling much better. Thankyou for visiting my blog. I was interested to know where you had lived in Hampshire. We are in Lee-on-Solent but my daughter lives in Southampton, near to Shirley.

Oops, here I completely missed out on your blog posts. I kept going to your website that is under construction...obviously I am clued out with those profile pages. BTW, love your progress on the website. Love the noro shawl. I just purchased the Noro cashmere blend and am debating as to what to do with it. Happy problem to have!
