morning ladies 
Another wet day, the garden is loving this!
Yesterday I went through my mother-in-law's patterns, some designed by her and others purchased. Wow, there are some beauties. Gorgeous border designs of all sorts and sizes, flowers, frog, insects and so on. I thought it was just me who kept a notebook book of designs and ideas lol, but she did as well, mainly how-to sew various stitches. One of the notebooks she had was about her painting, she was also a great artist, and we have several of her paintings hanging on the walls. I might see if MrK's niece's wife would like it as she makes her living from painting.
All of the inherited threads have been stowed away ready for use and a pile put aside for our daughter if she wants them. It meant having a shuffle around in my cupboard but what else was I going to do on a wet day
Housework is done except for this big cobweb I spotted last evening, blimmen spiders. Gifts are wrapped and under the tree. All that needs doing is to pick up fresh fruit for the fruit salad and some cream. Considering we had barely started Christmas stuff a week ago, I think we've done all right.
The sunflowers are beginning to flower
only two survived. But they will be a mass of gorgeous deep red-burgundy soon.
Happy crafting
