I don't have any photos today because yesterday I thought, "I'll take photos tomorrow when I clean up" and then today was so dark and rainy the light was too bad. I was going to show you the hoodie version two that I'm making in Sophie's current size not for a year's time. This time I'm using a beautiful Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed. Its light grey with flecks of green and pink through it so should go with almost everything. I'm hoping I can get lots of the yoke done tonight while watching the XFactor results show.
I am looking forward to sitting down and vegging out. Not that this weekend has been hard core or anything but Miss S has had a tummy bug for four days so there has been a fair bit of cleaning up to do.
After Smithy being away for work a couple of weeks ago and then being very busy it seemed like we had hardly seen each other the past month but this weekend we just caught up which was nice. Friday night we went out to dinner for our wedding anniversary at a French restaurant in the Royal Exchange building in the city. Its a grand old building which is now quite posh. Its the first time we've been out together for meal in town since our last anniversary dinner when I could hardly fit in the booth table. Last year we came out of the restaurant and it was snowing! Its not even that cold at the moment.
Saturday we braved Oxford St for a bit of shopping and today we' chilled out at home. Have I even left the house today? No too rainy. I tried to so some sewing yesterday but my machine is on the blink. Something is wrong with the bobbin stitching I think. I had it fixed a couple of weeks ago but the problem is back again. Very frustrating as I'm just at the last step for the top I'm making for Sophie.
Am off to put another load of washing on. Will be glad to go to work tomorrow for a rest :)
I can definitely relate to the last comment! Hope the sewing machine is fixed soon (always welcome to borrow mine). Ktx
