Life in a heatwave

Bouganvillea Amarilla

 Last two books from last weeks visit to library

 A bit more stitching

Beautiful silk

 I see some new clothes. 

The heat earlier in the week made doing things easier, but now the temperature and humidity are much higher and I am again spending time inside. Plus the smell of cat pee is really bad in our garden again, so doors closed sat inside.
The Bouganvillea I have had for years inside, but it needs a bigger pot, I am thinking to put it in the raised bed at the back of our garden, I would need to protect it in the cold winter months, the soil is free draining, which is good for the plant. It has never flowered inside, so is it a risk I should take?
I read a couple more books, Amanda Prowse writes about real life problems, I will need to pop to our library again for more books.
I was searching the drawer in our bed and found all the lovely lace, it was left over from making my daughters wedding dress, I have had it for years, it's now with the rest of my stash, I will look at patterns for a nice top or two, I love the feel of silk against my skin. Our bedroom is all put back, nothing has changed, we used paint left over from last time, I have not purchased anything new for the room.
Lazy plans for the coming weekend, hubby is away on Saturday night, so a couple of please myself days, which I love.

These fabrics was added to my stash last weekend

These fat quarters are for hexagons, 5 lovely designs

 These larger pieces just to enhance my Christmas fabric's
I do like to have a good choice

 More Christmas themed fat quarters

 This really old book, has loads of templates in.

I got a copy on ebay for £2.80

 Holiday reading, all second hand
I loved The Dandelion Years

 My question last time, what do I use this for.

Get a bucket of water, submerse into the water, place thumb over hole at the top, and lift out of the water, hold over plant and remove your thumb from the hole, water flows from the bottom. It can also be filled with water and left on top of the soil and the water will slowly drip out, it's great, I love it, just a bit of fun.

I have already placed the table given by my sister, in my greenhouse and it is full of plants, I have a huge pot with Basil and a big pepper plant on the bottom ledge, and two big trays without holes in the bottom, sitting on the top, the table top should stay dry and clean. Once my tomato plant is finished I will have loads of room. 

I have a confession, the stash fabric above has blown my budget, and my plans to save £200.00 on last years spend is threatened,  you know what it is like, sisters, ladies of a certain age shopping together, I have about £20 left for the rest of the year to stay on plan, oh well there is always next year.
I am planning to make Christmas bunting for our house, and a few Christmas gifts, my sister loved her work bag made here, and has suggested I make her a shopper.
We are eating all the stuff in the fridge, we have just 3 days before we fly off to the sun, I have most of what we require, it's going to be a restful week away, loads of reading, walking and a couple of cocktails, it just can't come soon enough.
