I've been very lax with my blogging over the summer months. There have been two main, even good, reasons for this. Firstly, I absolutely love it when Sophia is home on school holidays and very little sewing gets done as the two of us hatch various plans. Secondly, I am 21 weeks pregnant, thus the summer months have been plagued by sickiness and exhaustion! Having suffered three miscarriages after I had Sophia it has also been a very anxious time for us as a family. However, all was well at last week's scan so I find myself a little bit more relaxed this week - I don't think I'll chill completely til February though!
School has been back for 3 weeks now, the weather has got a bit chillier, but we are still enjoying sunny days. Autumn is my favourite time of year - I love the colours, the weather and the sense of getting ever-so-slightly closer to Christmas. I've indulged in various Autumn pursuits - blackberry picking, apple crumble making, soup making and knitting! I've also placed a new basket in my living room to hold blankets and quilts as it gets colder. Hopefully over the coming weeks the basket will accept more quilts as I have loads of lovely projects lined up for those shorter, darker evenings...
