HeartCrafts: Time goes by…

Time goes by….

Sometimes we get depressed when we look back at things that happened and affected us in the past, but greater the fear of the unknown things that await us ahead.

I visited a friend (Cheryl) some time ago and she talked and inspired me with a video of ‘ what you wish for you will get’. It was so positive and I felt like walking on air when I left her house. I was inspired with new goals in life and a new outlook on things / happenings.

Then, time goes by…and my beloved sister, Clarissa Rudd of Jeffreysbay will be 60 tomorrow!. It will hopefully be a time for her and us to help her celebrate this occasion. It is a milepost. A new beginning in her life. A time to reflect and look back, but most important looks forward with zest and new goals in mind! She has inspired so many of us with her fantastic crafts and handiwork. Too many to mention. She has lived her life to the fullest and will thus carry on – on a positive note. Well done, my sis and all the best for the years ahead - happy crafting!

I will try my best to be POSITIVE and start enjoying the cold weather (mentally prepare myself) as winter has opened its door here in Northampton.

Time goes by….and at long last I have finished a bag which was started weeks ago (interrupted by a holiday at the seaside / a trip up to Yorkshire / looking after a little toddler / getting the garden ready for winter etc etc etc…..
