About the Journey an the Socks!

Hello Everyone, I hope your weekend has been a good one and your weather has been better than ours. Rain and more rain. Even Teallach is fed up with it, a quick dash our for business and back in. 

Alistair has had is flu and covid jabs on Saturday, and apart from two painful arms, all is well, he was awfully tired though and kept dropping off to sleep, He's fine today though.

 I've a birthday card for Alistair's friend Derek which is later on in the week, a day before Alistair's birthday in fact,

Derek is a walker so the stamps from a Creative Stamping magazine the other year were just perfect for his card. A simple design which was inspired by the magazine. A DI background and a bit of masked stamping.

I knitted him some socks too, though they won't do for walking,


 I hope he'll like them, they'll certainly be cosy.

Thank you for your continued visits and lovely comments, I appreciate you all so much for the time you take.

That's me for now, time to get the kettle on and my feet up, take care of yourselves and see you soon,

Those walking boots are my favourite from the that particular set of stamps that came with the magazine, and I love that bright green background, and also the added compass and haversack, the perfect birthday card for Alistair and hope he had a good day. I love the socks for his friend Derek too, beautifully made Kate and bound to be well received. x

Pat said...

Kate, I am not having a good evening. Just scrub my last comment about the card which I thought was for Alistairs as I realise it wasn't..I'm reading but not interpreting correctly ...lol. x
