Hermitting

I had a very productive hermit weekend and stitched a lot of Herbularius part 6. These are the arches on the left side, but I rotated the picture.

While I was stitching Casper decided it was time to do some proper cleaning.

The hole in the terrace is caused by a leakage in the underground part of the rain water pipe. Loads of sand have been flushed under the house and the hole turned out to be much bigger, something like four tiles. DH did some digging and decided he'd better call a plumber to resolve the problem. Thank you very much for your concern. It was a scary experience and I realize I could have been hurt badly!

Great going on the Herbularius. Aren't cats good at tying themselves in knots, lol?

Herb. looks good, Ineke. Love the flowers in the center of that. And Casper is adorable!! And furry, lol. I've always loved long haired cats! Glad you're calling in a professional to take care of the leaking pipes. And again, glad you didn't get hurt.

Herbularius is beautiful! Sorry to hear the damage to the terrace is worse than expected, but it sounds like it will be fixed soon. Love that Casper is making himself at home on a cat quilt. My Trouble is sitting beside me in the exact same pose. Amazing how flexible they are.

That is truely a beautiful design, I've seen one in person and I am jealous that I don't have the nerves to do such a huge project. So I'll continue to enjoy seeing them all develop. Glad you weren't hurt.
