I finished my September Autumn inspired socks.
Yarn is Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Blue Fern Yarn
Worked on another Trescao jumper
Almost finished the body so it shouldn't take too long
Yarn is James C Brett Shhhhhh. Colour number Sh11
Met up with some like-minded people for a stitching afternoon.
It was lovely meeting and chatting to those I've know for a while and also meeting some new people this time, hopefully the will become regulars too at our meet-ups
I worked on Mary Margaret by Carriage House Samplings while I was there
Lots of baking happened.
The Scouts where my daughter, Joanne volunteers held a charity coffee morning on Saturday, she asked If I would make some cakes for them. There were other cake-makers too of course and they did really well raising £115 for the charity.
While I was in a baking mood I also made a tea loaf for us, It was good and voted a winner by Mark, whose not a cake person.
Had a bash at making bread
It came out pretty good but not sure bread-making will be a regular thing because it's not something we eat a lot of, I just had a craving for marmalade on toast
And I enjoyed walking in the glorious Autumn sunshine
Today is the official start of Autumn and the weather next week is set to be very wet, we have had a good run of sunny dry weather lately though so shouldn't complain.
Enjoy your week

The cakes you made look delicious, so too does your tea loaf.
Wonderful photographs of your Autumn walks, I do like the squirrel :)
Have a good week ahead, although the weather forecast is for rain! Oh dear!
All the best Jan
The knitting is wonderful. I always love the socks.
I really need to step out there and try a stitching group. There is one that meets once a month in the neighboring town. Maybe one of these days I will step out and try it.
I don’t need anymore rain for a while, but that isn’t how it works😊
Your socks look great, I really like the coloring. And the sweater is also beautiful, even color sections.
It's nice to have a stitching group, unfortunately we don't have anything like that here.
Thanks for the pictures of your walk, the autumnal atmosphere is wonderful.

Summer is over, back to doom and grey skies, you have been busy, love your socks, and the colours on your jumper. I don't bake here as hubby loves to bake, we have orange cake this week.
Glad you managed to capture a bit of sunshine before the rain hit, it's all doom and gloom forecast here this week. Your baking consisted of all my favourites, I love school cake and coffee and walnut cake, yum. I've just recently cast on a pair of socks, it's a year since I last knit a pair, and to think I always used to have a pair on the needles, baby knitting has taken over here this year. I love the yarn you've used for your socks.
I'm so happy I found your blog... its lovely seeing photos from "home". The church reminds me of those dotted around where I lived in North Wales.
I love the warm Autumn colours in your knitting.. and the tea loaf looks delicious.. perfect with nice cuppa. I'm not surprised the fancy cakes sold well. Everything looks wonderful
I'm also a bit of a cross stitcher.. and I will enjoy reading your older posts to see your work..
Have a great week

I enjoyed this post and all the photos. Particularly the squirrel. Perhaps I need to plan another UK trip for the Autumn?
I like your socks. The colour is wonderful.
Your sweater will be beautiful.
Have a nice week. Manuela
Lovely coloured socks and they will be so cosy to wear.
Glad you had a great afternoon with your crafting friends. Mary Margaret is looking good too.
Delicious cakes for a good cause.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Great blog
Please read my post
Your socks turned our great, Maggie--perfect for fall. And the colors in your new sweater are looking so pretty. Oh, those baked goods look mighty tempting and your breads are lovely. I could absolutely live on home-made bread :) Beautiful photos of fall--love that sneaky squirrel. ♥
