Friday Smiles 2024#Week 46

We have had a week of showers, some light and some persistant and heavy, and I think we must have had more rain in the past week than we had all through last winter. But we are not really complaining. We are warm and dry at home, and at least the reservoirs are filling up which keeps the agricultural workers happy.

We had some fun on Sunday when there was a rally of vintage cars driving through the village. They then parked up around the main car park so we walked over to have a look at them. Apparently to be vintage they have to be more than twenty years old and less than one hundred, which explains why I recognised so many of them from my childhood days. Many were American, such as Packards and Chevrolets,  but also Fords and a handsome Rolls Royce. They were obviously well loved and well cared for, though some looked far from comfortable to ride in. Here are just a few of them.

I recently showed a trial-run triangle I made to try out the pattern for a kit I have waiting for me at my son's house in UK. A new part of the design is released each week, so I have now tried out the square - a fairly straightforward motif to make, ...

... and the popcorn diamond which was a bit more tricky. But I will be taking my time to do it, so it should be manageable. Although the pieces look very different they fit together beautifully. Jessica Wifall is a very clever designer.

Not a lot else has happened this week but we have had some very lovely, and other rather exciting skies. They range from calm sunsets with storm clouds creeping in, to lowering clouds in an eirie light, to fiery orange and reds. The last one made me think of an angry Yoda.

And that is it for this week, so I will link up with Annie's Friday Smiles, and publish this in the morning.
