me on Monday

a quiet, overcast and sometimes wet weekend – perfect for lots of crochet progress

5-jul-15-(10)

each row is a new colour which is fun but means lots of ends so I am being good and sewing them in as I go.

It was also a weekend of visiting the monthly organic market in a gap in the rain; half watching (listening while I crochet) to the tennis; reading old sci-fi books; playing with photoshop; talking about what to see in the upcoming jazz and food festivals (2 separate events but a mash up sounds good to me)

[Lady Ella asked how I drew ‘June’ on the sand so neatly on the photo in my last post.  As you can see I can also draw on water – because I’m using photoshop magic – write the words, add a layer style of down bevel, copy the background photo and move it to the layer above the text then clip it to the text – honestly that will make sense to photoshop users]

Waving to you all, especially Sian who instigates the weekly wave, and hoping you have a great week – I’m sure I will as I’m popping down to London later this week – I’ll be seeing old friends and doing something that would be on my bucket list if I had one.

I have yet to venture for my personal photos into photoshop, - lately there has been SO much technology learning at work I just cannot face anymore at home. Liking the writing on water (my mind flipped to a few walking on water ideas)Looking forward to seeing your crochet end results, I like the colours.

A trip to London sounds good :)

I hope your week is a great one

there is a crochet technique were you don't end up with any ends to sew in at the end I need to try, its just trying to find the time to :/

sounds like a nice lazy weekend :)

Thanks for the explanation! [Nods wisely and hopes you'll assume she knows exactly what it all means!] ;o)
