morning ladies   We have rain clouds around us but they will be gone soon.  I wish it would rain!
Yesterday I embroidered a bit more of the tui and it's finally taking shape.  It won't take much longer to finish it, thank goodness.  The journey for this piece has been long suffering.
Oh_hunnihunni, it sounds like you have found your mojo using fabric scraps.  What a lovely idea to use some of your mum's fabric.  It is funny how a random comment can connect thoughts, join the dots, if you like.
MrK was at the doctors yesterday and it turns out he may have a Vitamin B deficiency.  The doc also wants a blood test to test for lead poisoning  as he was a typesetter for a newspaper back in the days when they used lead letters.  But first it's two weeks of extra vitamin B then he can do the blood test.
Covid has hit our family (not us).  It was inevitable I suppose.  All is well though, just a tad frustrating for them isolating.  Thank goodness we have plenty to do if we were in isolation.  I can't imagine what it would be like with not much to do.
Time to get cranked up, the hollyhocks are calling me to cut them back.  And the jasmine has killed part of a box hedge (oh dear, how sad, never mind!) so I'll cut all that back and maybe dig the dead plants out.  I might 'encourage' the  jasmine do that again next summer    I think you can tell I want it gone and MrK want's it to stay lol.  I suspect though, that the tree it is planted near has just sucked all the goodness out of the soil and the hedge is paying for it.  The jasmine is climbing that tree too 
Happy crafting
