Calorie Free Knitted Heart Cakes

 Hi,


Well we have not floated away yet,   I just wish it would stop raining,  here in the West Country yesterday they had severe flooding in parts of Devon, Somerset and Dorset,  we were for the first time on red alert.
If we flooded the majority of the UK would be under water as I live high up in the Mendip Hills.


 I dont have much to bring you as I am working on some tatting but I cant show you yet,  anyway this is some new knitted cakes I made in some different colours for a change.
These look purple but they are a very dark maroon and a maroon and white mixture wool for the top with a ribbon rose
The bottom picture are white with a purple mixture wool for the top and a purple ribbon rose.
I made the ribbon roses from ribbon I had,  they are easy to do these are sewn but the same way can be done on a wire. Would anyone like me to show you how to on my pattern blog?
The top picture shows you the original ones I made with the dark red wool and pink mixture wool and a pink ribbon rose.
I really love these cakes and I thought it was time to try some different colours,   they are for sale in my Esty shop,  there is a link in the sidebar.


Vernon and I are both suffering,  my knee is still no better,  I have a doctors appointment tomorrow see what she is going to do,  and now I have a cold,  no wonder with the weather we are having at the moment.  Vernon had a fall and has pulled a few muscles plus he landed on his shoulder so that's playing up again,  we got it better when we went to Crete but carrying the cases up the steps pulled it about,  and now with the fall looks as if he will have to more treatment on it again.
I hope F1 has a dry race today,  what a mess up yesterday when the second session of the qualifying was stopped for the heavy rain,  if you did not see it no way would I want to drive a car let alone a formula one car in it.  The grass car parks are so wet they cant be used but I hope they can get everyone into the hard base car parks which they are going to try to do.  Our local boy Jensen Button is 18th and Lewis Hamilton is 8th, so come on boys lets have a British win.  I am not a Tennis fan but it would be nice for Murray to win at Wimbledon.   Our TV will be on the F1.
I hope you have a nice dry day and until we meet again stay dry or if you are in the US stay cool,  please could you send a little heat and dry weather over the pond.
Take Care
                Hugs

Congratulations to Jenson Button F1

Hi,
Many of you know I am F1 fan and with out local boy winning the Hungarian F1 yesterday, I just have to say congratulations to him. It was his 200 race and the first race he won was the Hungarian 5 years ago, in the same weather conditions.
It was a hard race, will a lot of charging the tyres due to the weather conditions, with 88 pit stops there was a lot of action, including a fire and what I have never seen before the car exploded with one of the marshals standing beside it.
Nice to have a race with a lot of action in.
Keep up the good work Jenson.
Hugs
Margaret

Button's win in Canada (F1)

Hi,
We were feeling so sad yesterday see the last post, that F1 brought little bit of joy yesterday.
After a very long race, I cant believe that our local boy has at last won a F1, if you did not watch the race you miss a brilliant end. It was raining outside here and there is was raining in Canada, and when I say rain it was rain the track was flooded and the race stopped, for over an hour everyone just waited. Its beginning to get boring with Vetel winning all the races but not yesterday first we were on BBC 1 5pm then the schedule was changed and they stayed with the race, at 9pm we had to go to BBC2 and oh boy was I glad I did. The finish was the best part of the whole race, at one point Jenson was at the back, but with then coming in to change tyres and his overtaking he got up to 4th, then it was 3rd next he was 2nd and on the last lap he passed Vetel to be the winner.
Vernon was getting fed up with it it was just going on with no end in site, but as Jenson got to 4th he looked up, when he got to 3rd he began to take more notice when he got to 2nd Vernon was sitting on the edge of his chair by the time he was overtaking Vetel he was on the edge of his seat, I had been tatting that was put down by now, there was one great cheer in our house. Well Done Jenson keep it up lovely to see you on the podium I hope there will more this season.
The Bridge that has been built and named the Jenson Button Bridge is now finished and open in Frome, this was done and named because he won the world championship a couple of years ago. The Frome town cryer will no doubt be out on market day.
Well Done
Margaret
