Rain Rain Go Away

Oh my did it rain yesterday morning !! It became so bad I was starting to wonder if it would enter the house.So how much was there ??

Next door are digging footings for a extention. This wheel barrow was empty on Thursday evening.

These next two pictures show the water collecting at the front of the house. DH had sorted out sand bags tocover the air holes round the house so that water did not get into the void under the house.

Here is a close up one of the sand bags so you can see the depth of water ..

BUT by 3pm the sun was out ,the rain STOPPED and all the water soaked away. We are lucky that the ground was not already satuated.

On to nicer things .... I finished the TW Needle Gardian this week ... Its a gift socannot show you the whole piece yet, else the new owner will know what is coming !


ALSO wonderful surprise arrived in the door on Friday .... A scissor keeper from Shannon. We have been exchange partners for the last year and this is the final package. The last exchange has to be something stitched by you .... Its hanging on my memories board in my sewing room right now =)

A local artist Sharon Hurst has had some of her art work converted to cross stitch by the Heaven and Earth Designs company.
