One minute the sky is full of ominous looking clouds
only to change to GlOrIoUs blue and sunshine!
Bizarre, is all I can say. But then it wouldn't be England if we couldn't talk about the weather now, would it? :)
I have a rainbow coming along nicely though. This is my Rainbow Granny Stripe Scarf from my list for a Year of Projects
I am truly loving working with these bright, happy colours and the granny stripe is so quick and easy to work up - perfect for in front of the telly!
I have a couple of snaps from my garden to share too.
Plums!
Ooh what a lovely pair!
And pretty verbena starting to flower too! These flowers are so teeny and delicate and a GoRgEoUs shade of lilac!

Weather here in Louisiana is the same.... but very hot!! Loving the stripe work!! I have a plum tree also but never produce plums.. I am not giving it what it needs I guess.. hopefully one day it will!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure has been a mixed day weather wise..I enjoyed the sunny patches while they lasted :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your garden is coming along..those plums will be nice. I have hardly any fruit on my pear and apple tree this year..it just hasn't been a good year for my fruit tree's..shame.
Have a lovely day today x

It has been so up and down here today - one minute gorgeous blue skies the next it turns black and we have enormous thunderstorms.

ReplyDeleteLovely crochet granny stripe. I love granny patterns.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know where I am with the weather this morning at 7am when I left for work in the rain I was all set for a miserable day but by the time I get to school to collect little lady the sun is shinning and I now have the washing on the line drying! What's going on???. Oh well
The weather is crazy at the moment, but you're right, we wouldn't be without it! We like to moan about the weather here whatever it is doing! Congratulations on all your followers! Your blog is doing great! Rachel x
ReplyDeleteI heard this immense rolling thunder in Eastbourne today and thought someone had had a car crash, next minute the heaven's openedwith an immense down fall followed by sunshine...hhmm bizzare indeed. I refuse to give into any summer time blues and WILL wear cotton skirts, sandals and vests...I really dislike wearing layers by the end of winter so enjoy my summer clothes come what may!
ReplyDeleteLoving your granny stripe blanket,I really need to make one of those beauties xox Penelope
Beautiful pictures of the different skies I love nature and all kinds of wheather. Your plums also almost ready to pick, I have a plumtree too.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to follow you!

Your weather is just like ours!!! Oh how lucky you are to be building a rainbow and a lovely one at that...sending you oodles of sunshine and maybe a plum cake will come out of those lovely plums? xo
ReplyDeleteThis weather certainly is strange at the moment Victoria...One minute I'm sewing in sunshine and the next I need to put the lights on!
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet in the pretty rainbow colours...Ah, I live in hope that I will learn one day soon.....
Hope you have a lovely weekend,

P.S Congratulations on...now 113 followers...so well deserved!
How brave of you to venture out under those black skies! I just love the pinks and greens in your cushion in your last post - my favourite colour combo. You deserve all your newcomers - it's great to stop by here! xCathy
ReplyDeleteYour scarf is looking great, you'll need it if this weather keeps up! Love katie x
ReplyDeleteLoving the colours in the Granny Stripe, really summery. Fresh plums and a pretty blanket sound like a good way to beat the grey weather blues :D
ReplyDeleteI just thought to hell with it today and have hung the washing on the line. Probably start raining again won't it. Lucky you having plums, ours has none this year. It's a greengage one so they're delicious if we get in before the wasps.

Your granny stripe shawl is really lovely. It cheers you up when the weather outside is not so nice. Love your plums, they are looking delicious!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy sunshiny weekend! xxxBarbina
I hope the weather is better for you today!
ReplyDeleteYour plums look nice, at first look I thought they were mangoes! Haha!
Have a wonderful weekend full of sunshine! ;)
Beautiful flowers and those plums...oh, what I would give to have some of those growing in my yard!
ReplyDeleteThis is TOO funny! I too am working on a Granny Stripe table runner in all different colors and YES, it's great for watching t.v. It's so relaxing and yet you don't have to worry about the pattern because after a few rows it's ingrained in your brain! LOL! It is on my list of YOP's too! I think we're related somehow. I like yours better though....I'm not good with colors but yours are just like they meld into one another....gorgeous!
