View From The Fridge Door Take 3, Yes Take 3!

Before long my blog will be mistaken for the diaries of a lobster fisherman!!!! Can you actually believe Gary caught another one last night, I am not entirely convinced he hasn't found an all night fishmonger. Although I am getting quite accustomed to being greeted by a live one in the morning, he had done me the honor of cooking number 3 when he got in last night and so I was greeted by a stunning red one this morning.

It really is unbelievable! Anyway whilst the view from the fridge door was quite unusual the view from the gate was really quite pretty this morning, we woke to thick fog with the sun breaking through, making the allotments look quite mysterious.

Looks like we are in or a good day here on the Island I hope you all have a lovely Sunday thanks for popping by.

Halloween Bunting

Yes I am still making Halloween projects! Today is the start of my bunting. I had a slight problem as I am actually our of card stock, so I went for a rummage and I found a couple of 12 x 12 bits of white card that actually come as the backing of SU paper packs, I always keep them as they come in handy. I worked out I could get 12 large pennants out of 2 sheets and so off I went. I then embossed them with a spider web looking embossing folder and then daubed the edges black and sponged the high areas to really bring out the pattern. With a smaller die I cut DSP pennants to go in the middle and will then top them all with a googly ghoul character (yet to be finished). I had some lovely wide chiffon ribbon which I have threaded through hole punched holes on each top corner.

Not bad from some card that could have been thrown away. I will post again when I have finished all the toppers.
And before I go some of you may have remembered one of my posts "view from the fridge door" back in the summer, when Gary had been night fishing and when I went to get the milk out of the fridge in the morning there was a live lobster in the veggie compartment. Gary had caught the lobster by fluke on his line, well can you believe it, he done it again last night! I had a little more warning this time as word had already spread before I got up and I could hear screams of "aghhh lobster" from downstairs. He is not quite so big, but still a lovely free meal (tomorrow as we have chicken tonight). Here he is, poor thing.

Look at the mess he has a made of my fridge!

I have also been busy on the plot digging the beds a prepping for winter, so pop back later for some recent photo's of the "view form the gate"

Thanks for stopping by

View From The Fridge Door

Ok, this post has no relation to crafting what so ever, but I thought I would share with you the importance of expecting the unexpected in my house. Gary went fishing last night and then got up and went to work this morning, when I went to the fridge to get the milk, I found the veggie compartment contained a massive LIVE lobster!!!!

I assume he has caught it and he hasn't visited an all night fishmongers as it is well known that he mostly catches weeds and colds. So unfortunately for this fellow I think he will shortly be joining the jam  in my Recipe section.

We have more excitement later today as the Olympic Flame is passing through Carisbrooke this afternoon so hopefully we will go and see it if the weather stays fine. Then tomorrow we are going to visit a local apiary to find out some more bee facts, so we have a busy weekend in front of us!

Have a nice, hopefully dry day and thanks for stopping by.
