Take one pair of 70's shoulder pads

I have been trying to find an easy pattern to knit or crotchet a cosy for my tiny teapot these were about to go in the charity bag when I had an idea.

It works a treat.

A little bit of Autumn and an old birdcage.

I have just spent ages raking leaves, shades of gold and yellow all around

 

The sun is shining 

so

Here are a few pics from my garden 

                                                                 Lovely toadstools

An Autumn/Winter Clematis called Freckles

It has lovely nodding flowers that hang down

There is still a lot of colour around

 Winter flowering Jasmin
Lots of berries

and even the odd Dandylion

And finally, as they say, I was rummaging in the loft and found this bircage, I thought it might look nice with some fairy lights in, unless you have any better ideas ?
 I'm not sure about the blue bits either
Thanks to all who sent kind words yesterday it meant a lot 
Have a lovely week where ever you are

Remembering Noel

 Yesterday would have been my sons 22nd Birthday I don't normally like to share this sadness but I know many of you have also experienced these awful feelings I'm having at the moment. I also know in a few days life will be back to some kind of normal again, but for a few hours I can't help but wonder what life would have been like. We lost our twin daughter at 6 weeks and 2 years later Noel died at birth.My other children have always been my inspiration to carry on.
 We are so lucky to have them.

I couldn't let the day pass without a simple message of rememberance
