Autumn Leaves

The day has started very blustery and wild. A day for wrapping up and keeping warm. A day for homemade soup and comfort food. A day for wood on the fire and a good book.

Among the many books I have on the go at the moment, I am reading H.E. Bates "Fair Stood the Wind for France". On the way to work last week there was a mackerel sky and it made me think of a line from a film or an old TV drama and the H.E. Bates book title popped into my head.

At this particular job my desk is surrounded by bookshelves and as I glanced through the titles I saw the very book. Chance, fate.....who knows? So I borrowed the book and I started reading it. Much to the dismay no doubt of the other titles on my bedside cabinet. It's a copy from 1980, hence the dodgy cover I guess, and it sold for the princely sum of £1.25.


However, today I am not giving in to the fire and a book, today I am off to spend some time crafting with some friends. I didn't put the leaves on a basket yesterday after all. Instead I turned them into a mobile with the help of an embroidery hoop.


Not sure what project I want to work on today, I've a few patterns I want to try out and some lovely yarn that needs to be used.
