Went into church this morning to take down the Christmas tree, I hope everyone else turned up to dismantle and remove theirs. Jeddah and Judywere gong to be there all day. My leg hasn’t been too good so we took the rollator and made our way to a garden centre we hadn’t been to for a long while near Beverley. They do a loyalty card now so I signed up. We had a coffee as we were there quite early and then had a good look round. I bought a new bird feeder and some seed and some packets of seeds as I may be able to do some planting in the greenhouse. Then we had a very nice lunch before setting off to The Range in Hull. I wanted to get something wooden to decoupage as Tina brought back some lovely tissues from her trip and I hought I would sure them to decorate something. I got a small money box, Palau’s some paintbrushes and a really cheap back to decorate with tiny stones like the gecko I did. Oh yes, did get a pink poinsettia reduced to £3 as well and have had a go at a pastel representation. Much looser that anything I usually do with the soft pastels.We stopped at a farm shop on the way back, by then my knees so painful that I stayed in the car, that is when I took the crows in the tree pic.
By the time we were indoors my knee felt like it was about to explode and only began to settle after hlf an hour with me feet up, so looks like it is going to be a couple of days only moving when absolutely necessary!
All the pics at once now, although only four I think.
Forgot that one, an unusual plant I the garden centre.
I have plenty to do while resting the leg if I feel like doing something crafty, or puzzle books if I want a brain workout!
A good day and the weather was lovely.
Well considering the leg is giving you bucket loads of grief, you managed to get out and about for a while. Sounds like both your shopping trips were successful 😊 As you say, you have plenty to keep you occupied while you’re stuck at home for a while. Shame the leg is proving so difficult at the minute, but hopefully a few days of taking it easy will help it feel a bit better.
ReplyDeleteI like the bee bag. It’ll look even better when it’s sparkly. Fiddly old thing to do though!
I see what you mean about the pastel. A different style to your normal pics. I do like it though. Would look good with some ink outlines 🙂
Hope the leg eases off a bit for tomorrow, but even if it does, a few easy days wouldn’t do any harm.
The leg isn’t too sore while I sit with my feet up. So hopefully it won be too bad tonight either. The bee bag will be fiddly but I managed the huge gecko so should be able to do it okay.🤞
ReplyDeleteI haven used pastels much, but as Tina passed them onto me thought I would give it a try, didn’t draw it first, straight in with the pastels.
