It's July, so you don't really expect hailstones, but that's what we got early this morning. The noise of them on the Veluxes woke me up at six-something am. Then it rained, and by 10am there was thunder and lightning and a real storm.
Half an hour later all was bright sunshine, and I was able to put the final coat of gloss on the last window shutter - it's on the worktable in the dépendance, so safe from the weather while it dries.
It's all still a bit mixed, though, so I'm holding off on finishing painting the breeze block of the garden sheds...
I think I will go and do some gardening now, as the soil is damp enough to pull up the weeds.
String Thing
On a crafty note, I am part-way through another string bag, using up some yarn I pulled back from a zigzag doll blanket that was just too tiresome to continue with. I am using it doubled with a ball of cotton dyed by Fibres d'Art in a mix of pinks and yellow, and I love the way it's turning out...
..I made the base a bit more solid this time and am not following a pattern...
...only the second in this line, so I expect there will be more, to use up my cotton stash!
