Hello Dear Reader,
I just can’t part with fabric. I love using every last scrap of it. I’m in the middle of making a quilt……for me! I’ll share that with you when it’s finished.
I’ve spent the day cleaning. I’ve had a thorough clean today and have cleaned with white vinegar. It doesn’t leave a smell but whilst I’m cleaning, the love the acidity that cuts through any dirt. My windows, hard surfaces, wall and floor tiles are gleaming. I usually use ecover, but I missed the local store that closes for the weekend on Saturday lunchtime. I’d almost forgotten what an amazing cleaner vinegar is.
The floors are swept and washed, the beds are freshly changed, everything has had a deep clean as we prepare for a short break. We’re off to Finisterre in Brittany, staying in our friends’ home and it’s very kind of them. We have a list of places we’d like to visit from Pont Aven, Quimper, Pontivy and little villages here and there.
The quilt above, now known as our holiday quilt, is coming with us. Below? That’s the making of a new quilt made entirely of scraps. I’ve made 11″ squares and used 1.5″ strips to join the blocks.
I’m off to visit friends tomorrow and get the door key. We go somewhere every August bank holiday to celebrate our wedding aniversary. I’ll cook on Monday to take food with us so we have evening meals ready after days out. A few cheap lunches in cafes and picnics (weather permitting) and lots of walking and cycling. We’ll be back again on Sunday night.
DB has an odd request of something to see in Brest…..I hope we find it as he’s looking forward to it. Anyone want a guess? We’ll be staying in La Foret Fousnant, pronounced la foraay fwee non. We’ll have fun for a short break discovering new places.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxx
