You have to fight through some bad days
😒 to earn the best days of your life. 😊 

Well hello there! I have surprised myself very much. Here I was thinking that with a broken tendon that knitting and crocheting was going to be right out of the question.....but no. I still managed to pump out a few items and I am thankful to my amazing hands.

 

My first check up to see how my finger is recovering was last week. You will notice that my pink splint has now changed colour to black. It has something to do with the mood change about the whole thing. I don't find it funny anymore. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not at all. This Monday will make it five weeks done in the splint and three more weeks to go. 😮

 Let me show you some of the things I've managed to make in the last few weeks......💖💖 These little baby boots are part of the collection going to a friend of our family. I've stayed with the brown tones for this little baby we're waiting for. The striped white was a special touch I thought I'd include.

 A little woolly hat will join the collection

However, these boots are part of an order for one of my customers. The boots will have a matching hat and I'm already happy with how the pattern is turning out. Considering I was convinced I would not be able to take orders for the next few months. I'm very thankful.

Just while we're on a happy note here, have a look at this cute poncho that is almost completed. A couple of pom poms or something still needs to be attached to the ties. This will be joining the items for sale at the markets.

So this is all I have right now in the way of my hand made items but there is always the garden to fall back on. The garden has always been my go to place, somewhere I can be alone with my thoughts and with nature. I was very lucky this week to be quick enough to snap up this pedestal. Pretty hey?

Once I brought it home my front yard suddenly was moved around and changed. You may remember in a previous post I showed you all my bird bath I purchased. This big fellow has been moved from the back yard to the front yard.

Still on a good roll here.....here are some of the terracotta pots that I scored for only $20 for 25 of them.

We don't have an overly large property so I've decided that perhaps I could get dwarf fruit trees. Below is my dwarf apple tree.

We've just come out of our long, hot, drawn out summer and even though many of the plants are struggling, I'm amazed that my rose bush has been able to present beautiful roses.

💘 Meet Frank 🐱

 

Let me introduce to you Frank. Frank is now 14 weeks old and we are his second owners. We love him.

He is as cheeky as he looks, one would know this is typical. lol Biting, scratching, pouncing, eating my knitting patterns, taking off with my wool and then looking absolutely sweet.

Probably tired from a night of eating my knitting patterns I'd left on the coffee table.

....and no, Milo doesn't like him. We still love Milo anyway. There's enough love to go around.

Well my friends, it is very late at night so I better try and get some sleep. Over the last few weeks sleep has evaded me but I'm slowly catching up. I send you all big hugs and good wishes.

Ciao, Anita.
