Sold an item

We have been extremely busy in the garden during the past week.. The ever daunting  rubbish pile has now gone. The Spanish man next door came in and burnt the lot in one day, he also cut some of the branches from the nispero and other trees. At least with him burning the garden rubbish his wife did not complain. I noticed that he made the fire so that the smoke wafted away from his villa next door, Now we have seen how he does it we can make sure that we have regular fires during the winter to keep down the cuttings etc.
Colin has also been busy  building another wall near to the veg plot, hopefully it will stop the weeds growing through the rocks.
 We have cut all the grass and again had a general tidy.


I was pleased this week that I have sold an item on Etsy

I sold Gus my knitted mouse from the Cinderella story
The lady who bought it is from America and I asked her if she wanted me to knit Gus's friend Jaq.








She agreed so I had a week of knitting in order to be able to send the two together.

 I have now got back into knitting and decided to create that characters from the children's book The Very  Hungry Caterpillar
The various items don't take long to knit and they are ideal for using up small balls of wool.
