THE INK IS BLACK, THE PAGE IS WHITE...
Well, I guess the best way to start off today is to tell you that Bert the Chimney Sweep came first in the competition last week - yay, I was very happy with that. Don't know if any more doll making is on the horizon though, it's not really my thing!
Take a good gander at the JanCave today as it's going to be derigged for a couple of weeks. We have some guys in to refit the main bathroom and they need somewhere to store the gubbins, the JanCave is next door so it seemed the obvious choice really. I shall relocate downstairs or to the guest bedroom when my son has gone back to Reading.
It's all monochrome this week! Can you spot the black and white sprigged fabric you passed on to me at the Crop Neet? It's become a go-to for something different, especially when paired with the black and white polka dot. I've got a fabric basket in progress here....
The combo just works....
The usual glasses cases to restock at the cafe cos they're selling like hot cakes....
And this is what the basket was destined for:
A receptacle for keeping my crochet squares together!
It's been gorgeous weather here but thankfully not as hot as the folks in the south-east had it - Saturday saw the annual raft race held down the harbour. There's nothing much to it really but it's great fun and a good time was had by all:
The rafts are all put together by teams and start in the west harbour, making their way under the bridge to the main marina... we cheered on those six people on the tiny raft, they did really well!
After going up to the yellow marker buoy, they then returned to the finish line at the bridge. You can see the small D class lifeboat waiting to help!
The LBS (Llanelli Building Supplies) team were well organised with good face paint and purple smoke on the way back! They were the eventual winners..
The Tooth Fairies team (from my local dental surgery!) looked great but found it hard work, bless them...
And this team needed a little help to get back to the finish!! There was lots going on down there and it was a fab community day out.
Thanks for reading - I may or may not post next week, depends on what crafting I get done. I'm off with my brass band to compete in the National Eisteddfod in North Wales on Saturday. Wish us luck!
