November 2019 Photo Hunt

Time this month has raced by and for once I don't mind.  November was dull, wet, dull, wet etc etc.  On a positive note we are nearly at the winter solstice so spring will soon be on its way!

Once more thanks to Hawthorn for another challenge.  Can't wait to see what everyone else has done but here's my efforts!

1   Seasonal View

I'd rather it was spring/summer all year round but there are benefits with the changing seasons.  I am so pleased at my seasonal view that I just had to include 4 photos!

A fieldfare, a seasonal visitor to the UK and I am viewing them from my window!

Yes, I am proud to have fieldfare visitors in my garden.  For years I've glimpsed

them in fields, too far to take a photo but this year I've been vigilant

so much so that I've been stalking them from various windows in our house.

They fly off at a moment's notice.

Eating hawthorn berries so once the berries are gone, they will be off.

I've had more than one visitor.  One day I had a flock of them.  So thrilled to see them

that I might even look forward to next year's November month.

2   Oops

A screw in Beloved's tyre....  picked it up when we were over at Keighley doing more clearing;

he had to get a new tyre.

3  Seashore

My sister lives in Port Carlisle; this is the view after about 3 minutes' walk from her house.

Scotland is on the horizon.

4   Card

Made by Jackie CARDy.   It is a broach bought for me by a dear friend years ago.

I do wear it now and then but have no wish to wear it out!

If you are on Facebook you can find her here.

Or visit her website here.

5  Stripe/d

A simple striped quilt I made for Project Linus.

Sadly the jelly roll was not cut accurately to 2½" wide and I only noticed

this when making this quilt as some of the horizontal lines do

not line up....  grrrr.

6   Own Choice

Finally I finished my Seaside Stash Busting Blanket CAL!  I even tried a fancy, wavy border.

Really pleased with it.  I used the pattern from the Coastal Crochet blog.

Well it looks like we'll be re-convening in January 2020.  Thanks to Hawthorn for organising this photo hunt.  I love to see how you all interpreted her words.  Click here to see her  pictures.

Enjoy your Christmas holidays.
