Beautiful April

Beautiful April


Birds are singing and flowers in full bloom, Spring/Summer is here! and I am in our garden every opportunity!

I love to tinker out in the garden when the sun shines♥


It has been ages since I last put pen to paper (or shall I say finger to switchboard). Life is just one long roller coaster ride with very few stops in between!

Like I mentioned on a previous blog, I have been fortunate enough to get a tiny little pod at Vintage Retreat where I now sell my handmade goodies and other bits and bobs. Amongst them are some Vintage finds. I have always been a big fan of anything Vintage and therefore have a keen eye for some good reusable Vintage finds.

Some of the many vintage patterns I am sorting through...with nostalgia

After all the rain we have had here in the UK what a privilege it was to Spend some weeks with the family in sunny Cyprus! Came back for 2 weeks and off we jetted again for another spell in the Sun! That did us all very good and it was lovely to wake up every morning to a happy sun and lots of laughter thrown in as well!

Coming back…the garden needed tending and a lot of time has been taken up with that and all handwork was put hold, apart from the hand sewing project (my little hexagons!!!!) they are multiplying day by day and soon…very soon hopefully by the end of the year a 100% hand sewn quilt will be done♥
My passion at the moment..hexagons....


My wise sister (Clarissa) once told me: life is like a tapestry, you can only see the pattern at the top and not all the loose threads hanging at the bottom..be patient and the purpose/pattern will be revealed one day….hmmmmm

Two little chicks I made out of some scraps...


Like a I said , life is a roller coaster ride, and the journey through it is a journey of many different rides. Downhill, uphill, crazy, devastating,  but most of all the frightening rides… Enjoy and endure  every minute of it, good or bad with the knowledge that you will come out the other side,  sometimes a bit bedraggled and sad, but with the knowledge you did it and made it! No wonder my tic tok brain is on strike! Too much going on in my bubble of a little world.

Happy crafting wherever you are in the world and enjoy/endure the ride.
