Choice

Okay, so I've missed the Christmas episode,

and too late for the New Years Eve one as well!

It's been a while...again!!

 

So I will start by wishing you all

happy, creative, adventurous

new year :)

I think it's going to be a

particularly good one for all of us :)

 

...not into making resolutions,

but like many I tend to reflect

on the year gone by...

remembering the good

and a little of the not so good.

But then I move on...

to think about the year ahead.

The possibilities are endless,

only limited by imagination and choice,

and there is always, always choice.

 

One of the choices I made

this past year

was to go to France for a little holiday.

Perhaps what made it all the more exciting

was that it was totally unplanned.

I had a choice...

to go or not to go

(long story)

and literally overnight

I went!

Three of the most ''alive'' weeks of my life.

Amazing in every single sense.

I will most definitely be returning

to that part of the world...

 



Another choice I made,

on my return,

was to join instagram.

Such an incredibly inspiring forum.

As some of you will know,

I don't really go many places

without my camera.

Very much a complete amateur

but I do love taking photos of pretty things :)
If you want to be inspired by beautiful images

and incredibly creative people,

then go check out instagram.

Perhaps one of the reasons,I think,

why I am here a little less often.

Ooops :)

 

Big stitchy choice I made,

was to do more of it !!

Loving the feel of needle and thread

in hand again.

A little of what I've been doing ...

 

...been working on a series of

the little mannequins...

have got one to go.

Then to put it all together :)

 

 And of course,

there is the garden...

it's hard not to be inspired

by the beauty of flowers.

 

 

 So it is New Years Day.

I will be spending a good part of it

in the garden.

In the sunshine,

amongst the flowers :)

 



The year that has been,

has been :)

It was a learning year, this one.

A little tough at times, still,

but there were also times

of phenomenal happiness

and pride.

And these made it all okay :)

So incredibly proud of my son,

and proud of what I have achieved

at work this past year.

 

I am looking forward to this year,

the choices to come.

 

Have a happy day :)
