Summer time and the living is easy!

Would you like to come for a dip? Ollie and his friends meet at Pirates Cove every evening for a dip. Lots of splashing and fun .

This is a little bay that Ollie and we ,note we ,I have been the last few nights too and met many lovely dogs ,with their owners .Last night we found a beautiful labradoodle who was just sitting in the road. It did have a tag so we phoned the owner. We heard he was on holiday (not here) and his dad was dog sitting. He said he would text his dad and tell him we had Corby (the dog). Then he rang us back to say his dad was on his way. When he got to us he was very out of breath and quite red faced. The dog was quite pleased to see him and apparently the van he was stood next to belonged to the man. He said he had been searching for ages and calling. I did say I would have like to have taken her home as she was so gentle and lovely. So we left to continue our walk after saying goodbye to a very grateful temporary owner and dog. So a very impatient by then Ollie was off to the sea.Along a very worn path.

Last night at one point there were 4 goldies ,2 collies, and several little dogs all there, it was bedlam,but none of  them were misbehaved, I say that one did not want to come out, hmmm you have guessed Ollie.

Well as you have guessed it has been rather  warm here and sleep has been difficult with temperatures we are just not used to.

A lot of time has been spent here , yes the arbour has been built and the cushion is in place. 

I have to do another for the other side and to this end this week I sent for this to make for a cushion the other side.

Apt don't you think.Garden Pleasures .

I have only one finish this time to show you. The Sheep Virtue Courage, I am now with Sally awaiting Faith.. 

I have decided on a finish for these but I am not sharing that just yet. I still have the rest to do . The rest of stitching is wips. I am hoping to get berries and cherries done soon so I can start the new LHN when I visit the parlour. 

I have started August Wordplay but not got too far yet.

Another new start is the sewing roll Dames of the needle .

Loving this one .So thats all my stitching folks. I think I told you Martin had a craft exhibition at the group he is chairman of. He took a few pics if you would like a look. There are some talented people in the RMW.

Rag rugs made my various members of the Rag rug group. I love the beach hut one.

I also loved these textile designs in hoops I think I may have to have a go at this.

Or what about these butterflies I see another one I like everytime I look at it.

A cross stitched Rennie Macintosh design.

Encaustic art.

Quilts made by the patchwork group.

self explantatory!

This is a haberdashery shop made my a lady who has a love of dolls houses. I think these are all clickable if you want a closer look.

How about a shawl.

Beaded items from the Beading group.

Stained glass group .sorry this one is on its side. I think the other half did not take many of his own groups work.So there was much more but too much to show you here ,you have had a little taster anyway.

Well folks I think this is long enough now, Oh another ,yes another one of Kates has broken his toe our Sam this time. She is wondering what is next. Jack went camping with Katie last weekend and could not believe Parrots flying around in the UK. He was camping near Chertsey in Surrey. 

Well to all my followers I am waving here but it is too hot to wave madly. Hope your week will be a good one and you are  well . Take care and as always leave me a comment if you can spare a moment for me.

Hugs and much love
