FISH AND MOSS STITCH

Yesterday I finished all the fish on my current Fish Runner:

ABOVE:  I really enjoy making them come alive with the stitching!

Not too sure about the yellow Puffer Fish?

But he's there now, so has to stay.

Tomorrow I will have to stitch around all the bubbles.  They are NOT fun.

But necessary. 😓😖😟

Who mentioned doing the Case tops in Moss Stitch?

Lynda and Natalie I do believe.

Thanks.

It's a shitty stitch to do, but it looks really good:

ABOVE:  Knitting the tops takes double the time it takes to crochet them... but at least now I can do them myself.  And Bex can get back to making things for her stall. 

We are off to Woodlands Market shortly.  We are not allowed on site till 7.30 am, so it's not a really early start. 

The weather is looking promising.  It's supposed to be cloudy, with a chance of showers this afternoon.

So we might be lucky and keep dry. 

Keep ya fingers crossed for us.

I'm taking me knitting needles and cotton, so I can knit a Case top while I'm there.  There's always down time, so I will have time to knit a bit.

ABOVE: All ready.  And we have a delectable food stall right beside us. Tempting.

The organiser just came around and told us this will be the last Woodlands Market until October.

The feild is too wet for all the cars and foot traffic.

Today there's several vehicles that will have to be towed off the feild as they are stuck in mud!

So after today we will only have the Tamahere Market until October.

I don't mind that at all.

12.46 pm. Almost pack up time.

Thank god.

This market has been DEAD from the word go.

We have not made our minimum target at all.

I had time to knit two tops for the glasses cases.

So at least I was productive. 

Poor Stew has been bored out of his brain.

We just want to get home and relax now.

Not long to go...

3.15 pm:  finally home, unpacked and feet up.

So glad we didn't get stuck in the mud.

I hate to think what the field looked like once everyone was out of there.

ABOVE: This wasn't even a bad part of the drive in track.  The car parked beside ours was waiting to be towed out when we left, along with several other cars.

There was also a small bus/trailer unit that got stuck... goodness knows how they got it out.

So that was our last Woodlands market for a few months.  Hopefully once the weather picks up for summer (if we get one!) that venue will be better.

We are going out to dinner this evening.  We both feel like a yummy Indian meal.  Call it a consolation dinner.

*burp*... dinner was wonderful.  I'll show you what we had... tomorrow.  Cos let's get real, I'ma gunna need something to put on tomorrow!

lol

A quiet evening stretches ahead of us now.  Just watching the telly, blanket on, feet up.  

I will be in bed fairly early as I had a restless sleep last night.

Catch ya tomorrow.
