Sunday Sevens ’19 – 1
I’m starting as I mean to go on in 2019. Not sure how long this will last, but I’m hoping to post in a timely fashion, and not getting behind as I hate playing catch up! So here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to in the last week…. That’s all for now folks, it’s quite a short post compared to some of my past Sunday Sevens. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, I’m working in a couple of hours and my weekend starts tomorrow when it’s my Crafternoon Tea at the golf club. An informal getting together from 11am if anyone’s local and fancies joining us. (not the afternoon and lunch not tea, but never mind!). It’s just a minute off J26 of the M62. Cheerio Thimbers
2018 – Sunday Seven Style
Happy New Year!!! Hope you’re feeling well rested and your seams aren’t bursting after the festive period! Let’s hope I can remember how to do this! The format of how I’m doing this has changed but hopefully I’ll have a blog post by the end of the day! To say it’s been a while is an understatement. I only managed 2 blogs posts in the whole of 2018, so instead of writing thread to the needle of what I’ve been up to, in true Sunday Sevens style I’ll give you 2018 in photos. I’ll write a separate post of the few bits and pieces I’ve made, and about the Spoolettes meet up. I’m hoping 2019 will be more productive in the sewing room. I’ve been busy decorating and doing other bits and pieces around my new home, and getting used to living on my own and being a grown up! I’ve made a promise to myself I’ll keep up to my blogging as I have really missed you guys, and am looking forwards to seeing …
#SundaySevens 2018 #1
Hello Lovelies! I’m wondering should I mention my absence and apologise for it? Or do I just crack on and bombard you with lots of photos of some of my goings on over the last few weeks? Yea, I think I’ll just do that. I picked up a leather skirt from a charity shop, it was either £5 or £10. It needed shortening and taking in at the hips – I forgot I had done this, I must dig it out of the wardrobe! My birthday lunch back in October! Cyber mum….not looking to impressed but looking very slim! Girlie night out – the same place I went for my birthday but it’s totally different on a Friday night, when there is usually a band on. The food is always great – here’s the link if you live over this way and fancy going – Jeremy’s at The Boathouse More eating out! Not wonder I’ve put on 1/2 stone (or more!) since I reached my target back in May last year! This time for my …
#SundaySevens 102
It is Sunday but there’s not 7! How could there be when it’s almost 3 months since I last wrote a Sunday Sevens post. So I’ll just get on and try it keep the writing short and snappy. Make sure you’ve eaten – there are a few food posts and they’re not all Slimming World! Baby Moorhens on the golf golf. They weren’t very willing subjects when I tried to photograph then, they couldn’t half shift! Stunning sunset one Summers evening at work. Gorgeous meal after a team match at golf. So healthy, not the usual pie and chips which we often get. Followed by a not so healthy dessert 😻 An evening with H watching Yorkshire Cricket in a 20-20 game. Rory being very cute and not minding having her photo taken. Stormtroopers at our local shopping centre, whatever next! A very English Band Stand at Ripon racecourse. Cold baked sweet potatoes, I just love ’em with everything! English Summers at their best I’m not a fair weather golfer so battled on in the …
#SundaySevens 101
It’s a good job Natalie’s Sunday Sevens are free and easy with no hard and fast rules, cos I’d have broken them all by now. I’m thinking for now I’ll post my Sunday Sevens fortnightly rather than weekly, so here’s my last 2 weeks….. As usual I usually have something with me to do at work. My main distraction is still this blanket which I also take to cricket. I usually have a with me too pattern too on the off chance I get to cut it out. This is the canal basin in Elland. This area was devastated by the Boxing Day Floods in 2015 but now looks amazing, I even have my own car park for when I’m stood by. Well, it feels like my own as there’s only ever me there! Tea out….. Toffee fudge eclair. I started at one end and the Hubby at the other. We finished it!! I’ve put his phone there so you can see just how big it is! The Tailors in Fartown has a new …
Sunday Sevens Centenary Catch Up
I’ve only gone and missed a whole months blogging, and missed my 100th Sunday Sevens post! So here’s a catch up of what I got up to in June…… You might remember I hit my Slimming World Target at the end of May. As a result I went through all my clothes, (yes all!!), some went to my sister, some were put into a pile to adjust to fit and some were put back into action! Here’s my favourite ever RTW frock from 9 years ago that I can now wear again!! I was so excited to finally be able to zip this up!! We’re off the Ripon races towards the end of July and usually I make a new dress but I don’t think I will this year! A night out to see Take That in Sheffield…. an amazing night and more like a show that a concert. I have no idea why I took this photo and why i’m looking so happy to be at work, but it was in my phone so …
#SundaySevens 99
Hi Folks! Here we are with another Sunday Sevens Double Bill, and looking back over the last 2 weeks and beyond it’s no wonder I’m not making any new garments! I still love taking the pics and sharing them with you, and also looking back over my old posts too. It’s so easy to forget all the good stuff that happens in life so it’s a good way of keep a little photo diary of the little things, and the big things too. The week didn’t start off 2 good. I fell on the steps in the gym, landing on my side. I managed to keep hold of my purse, water bottle and phone, but hit every step until I landed at the bottom. the rest of the day (after I went to my intended class!) was spent in my PJs feeling very sore and sorry for myself. Sue and I ready in our team strips to play in the A team. We played at Bradley Hall Golf Club. The weather was so miserable but the scenery …
#SundaySevens 98 – A Double Bill
Hi Folks! Gosh! What’s happening to me! This healthy active lifestyle is certainly getting in the way of me and my sewing machine. And my blogging. But behind the scenes I’m still snapping away at the picks and now I’m only ONE pound off my target weight I’m hoping to get back to sewing more, especially as I really need some new clothes. So what’s been happening….. The start of Me Made May meant I needed something me made for golf so found one of the hubby’s golf tops in the charity bag and did a quick refashion….here’s before… Bluebells everywhere at the moment…… These were at the side of the 10th green. I’ve been helping out with the ladies taster sessions at the golf club. If you’re not far away it’s not too late to have a go. All free and equipment is provided. I decided totally out of the blue to go for a run. I’d not run for over a year so I was both surprised and pleased when I did 5K …
#SundaySevens 97 – Sunshine Edition
It’s a double bill and there’s been lots going on, including my long awaited ladies trip to Portugal. If you’ve never thought of playing golf, it’s worth learning to play just to come on our trip! 2 weeks ago H was on school holidays. Here he is with cyber mom, she had to stand on a chair to give him a kiss and for a minute I thought she was going to fall off! And look she’s wearing my favourite Coco that is now hers. And then we all went to play golf. (us, not cyber mum!) H played with the juniors in their comp and came 2nd and played 3 under his handicap – which is a first. He was really pleased. And then it was soon time for some last minute pampering before my holiday…nothing like a glamorous foils shot to keep it real! If you’ve been following the Tour De Yorkshire this weekend and know where abouts I live you might have realised that it’s only been a couple of miles away, and there’s …
