Progress and free craft mags

 I am really enjoying stitching this.  I did the corner with the flowers behind Pippi last night.  Not happy with the thick grey front leg so am going to restitch this.  Being a bit of a perfectionist . . .The black single threads blended together than the white.

Finished.  I did enjoy doing this.  I shall pass this on to my friend Pam now.

Pippi was very bored and kept leaping onto the puzzle, little ratbag.  Then she decided to help me put it all away too!  I have been throwing a small apple for her to chase up and down the kitchen.  She approved of that.

So much for a dry day today - it's absolutely pelting down with rain, so no chance of a walk.  Forecast says 5% chance of rain at the moment - well, they got that wrong didn't they?  I am waiting for a break in the rain so I can get the recycling down the track for collection.

I have got a pack of lamb mince from the freezer, and will cook that up in a moment with a tin of Mixed Taco beans and some wholewheat pasta.  Broccoli, Hunter beans and Cauliflower for veg.

I have a half and half (8 seeded) loaf rising in the bread maker and will cook that up in the oven as soon as the timer goes off in an hour.

I have decided it's a tidy up day, so am doing just that - though I have got distracted by some magazines I was going to take to the charity shop. A couple of Cloth, Paper, Scissors ones and Sew Somerset.  If anyone is interested, they will just cost the postage.

Don't know why that insists on being sideways, as I turned it up the right way.

Right, tidying up then.  Someone has to do it!
