July - dry, cool winter, knitting, gingerbread house

 Grey lauries (go away birds) have been frequenting the syringa tree to eat the berries.  It has been a cool winter and it is pleasant!

 We've made a gingerbread house.  See Hansel and Gretel!

 I knitted two sausage dogs as a custom order. 

And finished this prayer shawl.  I am making up complete knitting packs to spread the word about these meaningful shawls.  They make such special gifts for friends.

July...

 Our coolest month.  Lots of cosy, warmth beside log fires.

 Beautiful sweetpeas flowering in the garden.

 Knitted vest for a friend's daughter.

 And a horse with the yarn left over. A very happy girl!

 Enchanting yellow full moon.

 Precious new pup from the rescue centre.

 Jemima Puddle duck..

and Daddy Duck!
