Tweed scraps

I had some extra office hours to do over the last week, so crafting was a little on the slow side. Before that happened though we had some awful weather and high winds here in the Hebrides, resulting in school and college closures, and ultimately in my having some extra time off, so it's all been swings and roundabouts!
