🧶The bits on the side….

So with the weather being what it is……Summer extending into Autumn (and how)…..it should be cooling down slightly by now especially overnight but nature seems to be thinking otherwise.
A drop of rain- the first for a long, long time is forecast for Wednesday – forecast being the word. It could arrive or possibly like the recent cyclone Albert go walkabout, do a U-turn, and end up somewhere else. If it does turn up it’ll will be welcome relief from the heat and humidity

I’ve put the knitting to one side. Not because I was frustrated fed up with it but because my hands were getting sweaty…..knitting in the heat doesn’t usually do that…..’cept there’s always a first time for anything and this humidity was definitely proving that point.

So when I ‘explored’ a box of crafty bits tucked away at the back of a cupboard and found a xstitch embroidery kit…..no idea how long it had been there, probably bought on a whim to make a gift for ‘our little girl’ (given name starts with F) all those recent never again- think of the eyes thoughts were forgotten.

It’s begun – I’ve made a start- and surprisingly found there have been no sweaty palms…….

although I have found the grey cells are finding it more difficult to count up/down than they do sideways😧.

The plan is to finish the curly bits on the top and sides before the floral parts in the middle. That way I’ll be able to place the different colours without too many problems- like counting tiny squares!

Many years ago I read (and enjoyed) a book called Still Waters (Jennifer Lauck) smiling at the title being the same as my blog.
And look at what I found in an op shop……another one with the same title- a debut novel (2008) by Australian author Camilla Noli
.
But I do wonder if someone would be interested if they only saw the very brief blurb on Goodreads……see how it’s described on Fantastic Fiction. Guess I’ll find out once I begin to read it

Hot weather rabbit hole time meant I discovered there are over 50 books listed on Fantastic Fiction with those two words as the title – many more with them included in the title. I lost count on a couple of other sites😊
