morning ladies 
What a gorgeous sunrise we had this morning.
Yesterday I put our 'winter' sheets on the bed and omg what a difference to our sleep that made last night. Even the Furry One was on the bed snuggled up. On really cold nights, he sleeps under the covers jammed up beside me. And heaven help me if I dare to move lol, he really lets me know he does not appreciate being disturbed. If MrK gets up to go to the loo, then his pillow is fair game as well and there will be the inevitable 2.30am conversation with the Furry One to move.
Today I'll load the trailer up with the garden waste and MrK will help me tie it down and take it to the tip. We rarely take our green waste to the tip but this year there is more than usual with some shrubs being cut out completely.
Our son has made the huge decision to move to Aussie for work and leaves in around three weeks' time. We'll miss him terribly, but this is his chance to travel and that is something he has always wanted to do. He's single so no family to worry about, MrK's health is good so now is his chance to go. He plans to work in Aussie and travel around Asia for a couple of years then move to the UK to work (if possible) and travel around Europe and Africa. He's going to have so many adventures and stories to tell.
Yesterday afternoon I stitched a bit more around the edging. I have twelve more triangles on each side to do before I start the end so slowly getting there. I'll start buying the reds, greens, browns and yellow threads I will need for the center shortly and dig out some finer thread for the weaving. I really want to stitch the pohutukawa in silk, but it is such a big project the cost would be huge. I might do something smaller in silk for us after this.
Time to get cracking, I need to move the car onto the lawn to hook the trailer up before I can start loading it up. My friend dropped it off yesterday so it's not on our car.
Happy crafting
