WOYWW 890 Increasing my parliament

Hi all, it doesn’t seem a week since our last blog circle care of Sarah’s Craftshed!
Mt parliament of owls is increasing (while it’s been an eventful week in the other parliament, I’ll steer clear of it here. 
My latest owlet is another sewing version, for a friend I met many years ago on the grape harvest in Beaujolais, where we should see her next week. 
Bella has been helping me with a bit of general sewing and she sends you all purrs. 

The bamboo fabric, there, is a pair of trousers that was too long. They were actually sold as pyjamas

but the top has become a favourite light jacket and the trousers are fine for summer. 
With Kent on a red warning this week, I’m cancelling plans. We were supposed to go to the Frida Khalo exhibition at the Rate on Friday but I’m a member and can go another time, as it’s on till next Jan. 
We are going to our goddaughter’s birthday party, but will take it easy. It looks a bit cooler next week


And finally ….


Happy WOYWW

    LOL to the eating people funny. I love those PJs and can easily see how nice they would be for easy comfy everyday wear. Sod to miss Frida but lucky the exhibit isn't leaving soon!
    Happy far, FAR too hot WOYWW

    I love those pyjamas, I bet they’re nice to wear and so your colours! What a relief to see those temps for France next week, you can travel with confidence now and enjoy seeing everyone xx
    It’s lovely to see you enjoying the stitching so much, the perfect small project atm. I can’t even bear to pick up yarn….
    The electrician funny made me laugh out loud, thank you! 😊

    I think it goes without saying that I am really struggling with this heat. Even with the air-con 24/7 in my craft/bedroom the temp has climbed up to 24 degrees today and at that temperature I stop functioning at the best of times. The rest of the house is way hotter so I'm only leaving my room for food/drink and very quick bathroom breaks today. Roll on Sunday and hopefully a break in the weather. Love your parliament - Arnoldo has a Siege on his blog today! Super trousers/jacket nice and cool no doubt. Hugs Bj#10

    Thanks for the sleep suggestion of a wet flannel. I did use a wet muslin over me last night and have one round my neck now today as completely exasperated even in my air-con room. Our house is usually quite cool but not in this heat. We have a board covering the skylight in the kitchen and one of those car stick on shades on the window there too plus a new blind in the conservatory window from the kitchen - we close doors and curtains against the hot sun and only open when it's cooler but it just isn't getting cool enough at the moment.
