Charm packs are a great way of getting a perfectly balanced quilt as all the colour choices and pattern are sorted already. You have the fun of placement. Perfect!

Oh how lovely to see you back ! I know exactly what you mean, after avoiding Covid for 2 1/2 years I got it in August and I haven't felt right since, a disgusting taste in my mouth most of the time and a feeling of being permanently drained. The bronze is beautiful and such a lovely gift. My garden has looked in a state since the hot weather killed so many plants and the entire lawn but the sweet peas survived, in fact thrived ! Its been 3 months since my first grandchild was born and I call her Sweet P as her name is Penelope, oh what a joy she is, holding her head up and being nosy, you forget how quickly they grow up, just like your boys, blink and they're another 2 inches taller.

You mentioned a while back that you were going to do some crochet.... have you managed to do any yet? I love crochet so would be interested to see what you have made. I too have a very deep yarn stash but am still going to visit a yarn festival soon (Yarndale) as I can't resist. I'm so looking forward to Autumn this year and cosying up with my crochet.

Lovely to catch up with you over my morning cup of tea. Our garden is nowhere near as accomplised as yours but most of our plants have been burnt off by the sun, we had to water select essentials as it was too much to keep everything going. Our plum and apple trees are beautiful and the fruits are perfect so they did well out of the dry summer. Sorry about covid, I had dizzyness and just didnt feel 'myself' for a good couple of months after having it in February, I'm pretty much back to normal now but feel like it has changed the symtoms of a long term condition I have.....covid was certainly an odd illness whereever it came from! Bronze bunny is adorable, I have a drawing of our cats and love it so much.

Love all those colors you got from your friend who wanted to make a blanket. Are you going to make a blanket as well with the balls? Think it would be great for a granny square or granny stripe blanket. Glad to hear you want to do more videos during September, can't wait !

Hello Gayna, It was so lovely to catch up with you. I am so sorry you are struggling post covid with not feeling yourself. I am not sure I understand what is actually wrong/different now, did you say you don't quite feel present and connected as you used to? That sounds challenging. You will get there... I am sure the remedy must be eating lots of yummy food, cuddling with small cute animals, and making lots of beautiful knits and quilts. Your paper pieced quilts are glorious!! I love them so much. I am happy your boys are doing well. Things are good here on our 16 acres oasis in the woods, in the countryside in Oregon. We are just now getting tomatoes since our summer started a month late. I was thinking we might need to grow them in green houses like you do if the climate changes any more, which it will... I laughed when you said you didn't need any more quilts projects because I am in the same boat. I was working on a scrappy nine patch quilt while I watched/listened to you. I've never made a cathedral quilt, but I have seen them. I am trying to use up scraps because I ran out of storage space, and 3 quilt tops later my scrap bin seems just as full, but at least the extra bag that was preventing my closet from closing properly is in the bin now. I look forward to seeing your September projects. Sending lots of happy thoughts your way. Valerie

Glasses - I now have four pairs - driving/walking; gardening/housework (using tools with handles); gardening/housework (using hands ) and for looking at pc, and finally, a knitting/sewing pair. At least I have found a lovely optician happy to re-glaze old frames. Garden pests - a similar tale here, my poor rasps have definitely suffered with rabbits, also have moles, pigeons, bloody neighbours cats(i do like cats, but), cabbage whites, even under the environmesh - how?? And now all my Winter squash is covered in powdery mildew. I see you have tithonia, isn't it fabulous? Like a glamourous weed. I have made a similar loose waisted pinafore skirt - so comfy. Lopi - I must make a Perec, it's in my Ravelry queue and the Lopi at a loose gauge is, as you say, so light and warm. I also liked the first vest you showed-so cute on you. Maybe the wool will soften with washing? Finally, I LOVE your collie type dog, he is so affectionate. I hope the lump is nothing to worry about. Best wishes to you all.

Thank you so much! Comments like yours make my day and spur me on xxx

What an absolutely delightful surprise to see your darling face looking out from my screen! So loved catching up with you while we had tea and knitted on a sock. 😘 We had a lovely visit in case you were wondering!

Enjoyed our lovely visit - the summer has been busy for lots of folks. I would love to clear out your airing cupboard with you (I wish I had one of those). Rest when you need to, laugh lots, hug the boys whether they want a hug or not.

So happy to see you, Gayna 😀 the boys the pups, the garden all look fantastic. I love peeking in and seeing what you are up to and I have a few big organizing and clearing out projects set for September too. So let's motivate each other! Take good care and be patient with the brain fog. I'm sorry it's lasted this long. Susannah

I have so many silly outstanding jobs to do that o need a kick up the bum. I think this pledge will be good for me. Trouble is I don’t know where to start. X

I so enjoy your podcasts, please don’t change. The boys are really growing up and I’m sure once you are back into the school routine, your motivation will come back. Super produce haul as well and love your finished knits. Can we have a tour of the barn one day please?

I won’t change! I can’t, I’m stuck in my ways. Yes I’ll be showing the barn soon, I still have lots of projects to do in there so I’ll probably bring you guys along.

Please don’t stay away so long…you inspire us to get busy creatively 🙏🏻 was lovely catching up xx

I’m so sorry! It’s hard to fit in all the many things I want to do and learn and share. I would like to film more often. X

@@talesfromcuckooland I know that feeling…I always have said one lifetime is not enough 🤗 x

Gayna! So so so happy you are back! I've missed you! Besides Penelope's Chinwag, yours is the only other podcast I wait on pins and needles for. Your knits are lovely, your garden is lovely, YOU are lovely! Thanks for taking all of us along with you.

Don’t wait in pins and needles! Sounds uncomfortable. 😂😂😂

I was thrilled to see a video from you was posted. I love your ramblings and seeing what you are up to. Looking forward to more videos.💕

I’m lucky you like my ramblings because I can’t talk in a straight line. I interrupt myself.

Lovely to see you again! I was hoping you were OK! We’ve had Covid too and it’s not nice! It’s taking us ages to really get over it! So delighted to hear that dear Bill did well in his exams and really hope he enjoys college! I absolutely love the present you had made for Toby’s 50th birthday! What an amazing and life long gift! Take care of yourselves and come back when you can- you have been missed x lots of love WW xx
