We've been busy, getting up at 6.30 am and painting until 10.00 a.m, then collapsing in a heap and trying to get rid of the smell of white spirit. Why?
Look.
Before
After
And we're off!
The water temperature has hit the magic 22°C. I had the first swim last night and another one this morning. Alex's mates are here swimming their hearts out (and shouting too), and we feel that summer has finally started!
And today my cup overfloweth! I found this gem on play.com. There was only one left! Help! Rang up DS-D who was in the middle of cooking for a dinner party. Told her to drop everything and get it quick before it went. Isn't she a star!
And what I am doing now? Trying my hardest to sew and catch up on those UFO's. I've cut up an old pink and white skirt and am hoping to start on the quilt for my niece to be. In the meantime, I've got plenty to keep me busy.
I've also moved the Liberated Quilters web ring. Click on the Home/Join link on the badge on the right there and see if you qualify. If you do, leave a comment and we'll get back to you.

Job well done - I know you are glad now you got the pool looking so welcoming.
Looks so cool and refreshing. Beautiful. Great snatch on the GM book, too. P.S. I picked up Swallows and Amazons from the library today. Wish I had known about Ransome's books when I was a kid.
The pool looks so enticing! I really miss our back yard pool, it's not the same to go to a community pool. Anyway, lucky find on the book.
I've been wondering about the little picture icon on the liberated quilter web ring (to the left of the star). Is that some part of the code we can delete? I've noticed it's the same on all the blogs.
woohoo for the string quilts! glad you're finally getting some summer too!
Wow what a transformation of your pool!
And I can't believe a year has whizzed by since the last TdF. Are they riding past your road again this year?
wow! what a huge job and the pool looks fantastic. hurray for summer swimming fun. I have the GM string book-it is wonderful. enjoy all that stitching time
Just packing the swimmers and heading on over :o)))))
Gosh, it's been pouring for days now, we could have filled your beautiful pool with all this Yorkshire rain!
That pool looks quite inviting. I have a little surprise for you on my blog. Check it out.

Pool looks so inviting - wish it was warm enough here to swim ! Just bought the Gwen Marston book too and can't wait to make my first 'Liberated' quilt !!!
Can I come over and swim? Looks lovely.
Ohh. Does that pool look good! Wish I could jump in! Too hot around here too so I'm not getting much sewing done.
