Pretty nice :)

I'm just going to pretend

that it hasn't been months

and months

since I've written ?!?

Can't pretend,

though, 

 that I've not missed

my stitching,

but

life has a habit of changing

and change is good :)

 

But spring brings renewed enthusiasm

for all sorts of things,

and one thing

that never fails to amaze me

is

how the garden here

delights and surprises me

year after year.

The bluebells and tulips have been and gone,

and now it is the turn of delphiniums,

foxgloves and

granny's bonnets.

 

 

The brilliant blue delphinium spikes

are so prolific this year -

I'm picking bunches of them for inside.

 

 

And so far,

fingers crossed,

there have been no full blast winds

to break them down.

 

 

I decided that I really really needed

to stitch some little pretties

again.

And Christmas is coming,

so yes,

I thought,

if I start now,

I can make some little gifts.

 

I made this little heart,

just for fun,

and just for me,

to kick start my stitchy mojo again.







 

 

And today I played,

with my favourite things -

linen and lace

of course,

and a few little words ...

 

...live, laugh & love...

 

...friendship...

 

...happiness ...

 



 

... and a few notes of music :)

 

I'll decorate these now,

with a little bit of embroidery maybe,

some buttons and hearts -

a bit of this and a bit of that.

 

It's nice to be stitching again.

And it's nice to watch my garden grow.

And even though it's ridiculously busy,

life is pretty nice too:)
