April 2019 Photo Hunt


Once again please ignore the above photo!  I'm trying to get the link up tool to use the above photo....

I think this month has sped by...

Once again thanks to Hawthorn for organising us all.  Click here to see her photos.

1   Edge

The top edge of a pottery item made by my sister-in-law.

I thought you might like to see this item in its full glory.
It's about 27 cm tall and about 26 cm wide.



2   Loaf

I used to enter baked cakes etc and craft items into our local Agricultural Show.
Sometimes I won a prize!



3   Bridge

The sad saga of our bridge - still waiting for it to be repaired; a very long story!

1   The view from our house down to our bridge.
2  Looking over our neighbour's wall at the raging torrent of water.
3   Beloved and our neighbour propped it up as best they could.
4   More water later 2 of the 4 wooden props have gone.

The damage was done on Boxing Day in 2015.....  we were promised it would be 
repaired last year but.....   huge sigh from me!



4   Mine

Up at our fields we had a 16 ton load of cement mixings delivered.
Someone has tried to make it into a mine; no idea what treasure they found.



5   Black

A few years ago at our fields we were building an access road; a motorway near us was
being re-surfaced so Beloved was able to buy tons and tons of these plannings....
Lovely and black!

Here is the lorry with yet another load!



6   Own choice

I often buy craft kits and then re-discover them years later.  But this is a first for me!  In February this year I attended a quilt show at Harrogate and walked past a stall with a craft bag on display.  The reason it caught my eye was the fabric it was made from - chickens!  I used to keep chickens and have a soft spot for them.  Over the years I've build up a stash of chicken/bird themed fabrics so I had to buy the pattern and shortly afterwards I made the bag!  I have made a very simple bag before but nothing like this one.

Some of my chicken/bird fabrics selected from my stash!

Completed bag.  I am very pleased with it and it already has some
yarn in it, ready for a new project, when I have the time!

Thanks for taking the time to look and leave comments!  I'm sure May's photo hunt date will be upon us very quickly1
