Hope you are all coping with the heat. I personally am loving it but then I don’t have to do any manual work at the height of the day. It’s been early morning walks and crocheting in the shade most days.
I did a lovely early morning walk with Faith combining one of our field walks where we normally get as far as the stream and then turn and walk back. I decided to continue over the little bridge and do the complete circular walk. It was 6km in total and probably a little further than I intended and a lot more hilly but will definitely do again but maybe wait until the weather is a little cooler.
On Tuesday afternoon Mia and I ventured back to Shilley Pool to wild swim. There were quite a few people who had made the same trek and were enjoying the cool water. We managed to find a shady spot and enjoyed a plunge in the very refreshing water and then a nice read of my book and a biscuit in beautiful surroundings.
I finished my crocheted butterfly which was a mish mash of different patterns. On the whole I am very happy with it but would like to improve the wings. Therefore I will be checking out a few patterns to get some more ideas and then retry.
Mia is doing very well selling her crocheted bee’s on her Etsy Store and also doing pattern testing for a couple of people. She needed to get some more yarn so a trip into Hobbycraft turned into an expensive trip for me as I could not resist buying some yarn for myself 🤣 Watch this blog to see what I make from it all.
I am now making a mushroom boy using a YouTube video from Amilove AnAn I will post the link when I have finished it. Let’s just say it’s a bigger project than I realised but it will be so cute.
As you can probably guess the kitchen has not been a place I really wanted to be in this week although yesterday I did make a rather nice Tomato and Manchego Tarte Tatin unfortunately I didn’t take a photo but you can find the recipe here https://www.delicious.com.au/recipes/tomato-manchego-tarte-tartin-recipe/35b3ywy7
I believe we are to have cooler and a little wetter weather next week so will maybe be a little keener to use my oven.
Till next week.
