Hello there. Please forgive the underwhelming nature of this week’s Sunday Sevens, I’ve been a bit under the weather of late (autumnal sniffles) so my photo taking opportunities have been rather limited this week…
The last rays of sunshine
Last Sunday afternoon we spent a little while on the Eastside of the Rock at Sandy Bay. You can tell we are heading towards winter as the sun disappeared behind the Rock sooner than it did a few weeks ago…
A posh boat
While on a walk in Ocean Village at the start of the week this rather posh boat caught my eye. I thought it looked unusual with its black hull.
Setting in my sleeves
At my Dressmaking class this week, it was time to set in my sleeves. Amazingly they went in perfectly, at the first attempt!
Under the weather
By midweek I was feeling a little bit off colour. Since then, I have spent a lot of time in bed. It’s just a cold, but I’m a reluctant patient and I’m feeling decidedly frustrated that I’ve run out of energy to achieve anything beyond the basics. Poached eggs are just the ticket when you’re feeling run down don’t you think?
Friday night dusk
I caught sight of this beauty out of the window on Friday evening. You can’t beat a lovely sunset to lift the spirits.
Autumnal leaves
It has felt decidedly autumnal here this past few days (and I don’t think it’s just because I’ve felt ill). Bright sunny skies yesterday made me yearn to kick through piles of autumn leaves at a National Trust property. I started working on this delightful project from Little Box of Crochet at the end of last week, when we were on holiday and yesterday I added this cute amigurumi toadstool to my autumnal crochet leaf collection. It’s been such fun to work on.
Thank you for joining me for this week’s sniffly and sneezy edition of Sunday Sevens. I’m linking with Natalie from Threads and Bobbins for this weekly blog series.
A perfecetly poached egg is a wonderful thing.
It is indeed 😊
Oh poor you, rest is always the key to a speedy recovery! love the toadstool is gorgeous! what are you going to do with the leaves? make a wreath?
Thank you, I have had so much sleep in the past 5 days, I think I must have been long overdue some lie-ins! I have woken this morning feeling something close to human again which is a relief 🙂. Yes the leaves and toadstool(s) – there are now two, will become a wreath. I’m hoping to finish it this week so hopefully the finished article will make next week’s Sunday Sevens.
Those leaves and toadstool look wonderful. I can’t wait to see the finished wreath.
Thank you, yes I need to crack on and get the last bits finished!
