It's been a grey day with heavy drizzle in the morning and a generally wintry feeling. Such a shame for people hoping to enjoy their half-term holidays by the sea.
While Peter went to the dump I baked some Bara Brith before starting work on converting the two tops I bought on Friday. A bit of a 'vanity project as I already have two tops I like to wear for disco aerobics but having bought them I wanted to finish off my grand idea.
The cardigan was the best choice as it was made of a lightweight fabric and a good length.
I thought long and hard about buying the 'fireworks' top but the softness of the velvet and my magpie tendencies won me over and anyway the £4 would be going to a good cause.
As I sewed at my desk I had to bolt the study door to keep Speedy out. Once he's woken from his comfy sleep on the sofa he is most insistent on sitting on my lap which isn't a good thing if I'm trying to sew. I chose hand sewing over the machine which is a faff to set up and I think that hand sewing is better for hems and bias binding.
Even though the summer is well and truly over new flowers are appearing in the garden and the morning's drizzle has left them bedecked with glistening raindrops and a delight to see.
