We have a heat warning and an air quality warning, today. The sky has a grey haze, so I am hiding in the house.
Sewing has been hit and miss, but I got another bag finished. It is on its way to its new owner, so let me show you the strap.
The bag is entirely from my stash, so it was free, right?
Meanwhile, our garden is blooming.
We have a bell pepper plant. I'm not sure what has happened to the first pepper, but, we have a pepper.
I started a pair of top up socks, and it was going well, until I got to the heel. I now remember that it is the heels that give me problems in toe up socks.
This is before I started the heel, and things went wrong. Last night, I decided I wasn't having fun, and the yarn is now wound into a ball, and will have to be something else.
Yesterday, I visited a new-to-me quilt group. They have a lovely room, with big windows, and air conditioning. I was asked to join, and of course, I agreed. It seems that quilt groups need a computer support person, so apparently I already have a new job.
This week, we are going to swimming lessons. Our not so little guy goes every morning, at the public pool near our house. It brings back memories of when his dad did the same thing.
I like your red flowering plant - is that a tuberous begonia? The other flowers are pretty, too. You pepper (or capsicum, as it would be called here) is wonderfully twisted.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your smokey hot conditions at the moment. Perhaps that pepper is expressing its opinion on the weather! ;-) I confess I tried toe-up socks, was also challenged by the heel (though I managed it) and found it didn't fit well around the ankle. I ripped it out and went back to cuff-down! Ah...yes...swimming lessons at the local pool. I did a lot of watching of those back in the day.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately our first pepper had been invaded! More on the way though.
ReplyDeleteShame about the sock - I have never attempted toe up. Lovely flowers in your garden, hope your heat warning doesn't last long. We have just had a few cool days after some more hot weather but now I think we might actually get some rain, which would be lovely. x
