At long last a warm and sunny day!!! It's been a glorious day with blue sky and the odd tiny cloud skudding across the sky. I had the lounge window open all day which was fantastic. Last night I could see a wonderful full moon so that sort of gave me a clue that today would be a good day....


I know it's not crystal clear etc. but I couldn't go out to take the picture, so this is from my couch.

I'd ordered some plates for the resin pendants to be on, but I misunderstood the sizing!!!! Typical of me - I tend to forget to look at sizes and anyway it was in metric and 12mm sounded large to me!!! It's not!!! Well they arrived yesterday and I was shocked at how small they were, but not to be downcast, I realised that they are the right size for earrings. So I thought I'd make earrings to match the pendants - good idea or what? They were so easy to make too and I was able to make 3 pairs yesterday and 5 pairs today!!!






I am so pleased that they've turned out like this - and it means I can easily make a pair to go with nearly all the necklaces.

Well once I'd finished off my day's work, I looked out of the window and this is what I saw.......



I am so blessed to have such a lot of beauty around me. Unfortunately the severe winds and rain have totally ruined the lilacs - they've either been knocked off their branches or have turned horribly brown and yucky!!!!! At least the laburnum has managed to stay beautiful and as I have about 3 trees in the same area, they do make a beautiful scene.

The warm sunny weather did help the indoor plants to bloom and they do seem to have taken over the windows!!!




As you can see there are more geraniums on the way. They are absolutely brilliant - forever producing blooms so these two plants have been flowering for around 2 months and there are more and more on the way!!!

Pippin loved the fact that I'd got the window open, it saves him time going through it, rather than having to go through the kitchen, the cat flap and then around the outside of the house to the lawn. When I was younger (much younger in fact) - I used to go through the open window too, as did my mother when she was younger. I just wish I was agile, it would save me a lot of walking and trying to stop being giddy, just so I could sit outside on the garden bench. Never mind though - it was bliss being able to have it open all day..


Pippin didn't realise I was taking his picture, because my usual small camera isn't usable at the moment, the battery charger won't work, so I used my older camera which has an incredible zoom lens - he was about 15 feet away from me when I took this picture.

Well I hope tomorrow will be just as wonderful, so I can have the window open and I can enjoy fresh air. I'll hopefully make more pendants and earrings!!! I do so love this craft, but I've got so many, I really must start selling them!!! LOL

Have a wonderful week, please take care and stay safe.
