Loving - recent Sunsets here in the UK
Making - My Loki sweater and enjoying a few rounds every night. I have touched little else in fact because I love making it so much.
Wearing - My newly sewn Mathilde blouse from this Minerva fabric. No ironing just wash and hang it on a hanger for next time.
Eating - The last of our Christmas cake
Disliking - running out of time
Buying - A staircase balustrade
Building - Our bathroom at the new house
Repairing - a little hole in a crochet blanket, you have to catch them straight away.
Feeling - Like the house needs a good clear out, again!
Enjoying - seeing my succulents take root that I poked in some soil last Summer. Two out of three of my spider plat cuttings have taken too.
A short January..ing this month but I have enjoyed reading others.

The sweater is looking brilliant, I am admiring your concentration in getting every single stitch right. Both of the tops are lovely, I imagine the viscose is a tricky thing to sew with, but you've made a beautiful job of it. Lovely to see new plant growth so early in the year.
ReplyDeleteI too have been enjoying, and taking photos off, the beautiful sunsets; they really are glorious this time of year. I'm working on a crochet blanket. Battening down the hatches incase storm Brendan hits here. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteWe really have had some amazing sunsets, haven't we? Your January looks very busy and your Loki looks amazing. x
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, I am taking things slowly but like you enjoying the amazing sunsets.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to get glimpses of your industry "across the pond" ...gorgeous stitching, pretty papering and painting, meticulous mending and woodworking, appreciating the glories of creation in plants and skies.... There is a TV channel I can watch 2016 episodes of your Escape to the Country program. It helps me feel closer to you. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunsets indeed. None here, it has been most miserable almost every day this January. Your Loki is just stunning, as are your two new tops. Funny that you mention Minerva. I just did, too. I said that if one fabric shop needed a good website designer, it was Minerva Crafts. I am looking forward to the new one you mention here. Good luck with bathroom building. Plumbing is always a bit daunting (not that I ever do any). Have a good week x
ReplyDeleteThe Loki sweater is beautiful, Jo, looking forward to seeing it finished. And I like your Mathilde blouse as well. And we're only half-way through January! I'm determined that this year doesn't speed away as quickly.
