Thankfully my back is much, much better. It's not quite right yet but I can move reasonably freely. Standing or walking for very long is still difficult but I'm getting there!
This week I did something I've never done before - pickling! We harvested some of the beetroot from the allotment. Colin boiled and peeled them, so I pickled them. The first ones we had were delicious!

Stitching wise this week - I have completed Libra for the RR but forgot to take a photo before I posted it. I also did a little bit of stash shopping too - you know the way your finger 'accidentally' presses checkout whilst looking!! I ordered 2 JBW designs: Plum Pudding and Christmas Bells and some new gold needles. Once they arrived I couldn't help but have a look to see if I had some fabric for Plum Pudding...and then of course I had to check the threads too. Well...whilst I'm getting everything together I might as well put a few stitches in as well. So here is my 'few stitches'. Oops - well at least it's not going to be another WIP/UFO lol.

JBW Designs - Plum Pudding
Fabric - unknown was just lurking in my stash
Threads - GAST / WDW as charted |
I did a little bit on She sells seashells...but not much!
And that's it for stitching this week. I'm going to pick up Garden Shed in a minute to work on. My eyes are feeling a little sore so aida will not strain them so much!

Oh, I love the look of Sudberry Hall - I wish that I lived in England - I would have so much fun visiting those beautiful houses and the castles and so on. Not many of them in Australia! lol
cheers, Kaye xoxox

My mom loves pickled beets. She used to can those when I was little. Dad's not a big fan, lol.
