Oh pretty

Now they are really skaters

with a cute bird joining in

 I am now going to stitch her scarf, hair and then their faces

 I have been shopping again, but this is the last lot for a while

These we £32 each, but Hobbycraft had a 3 for 2 sale on
makes far better value for money

 These can be used for so many different cards,

mix and match

I love the fine detail on each.

It's another gloomy day here, so no time in the garden, it's not too cold, but I do like to see the sunshine. I have been on mummy duty this morning, I have been to Su's house and pinned up her new curtains, I will leave them for a week and then go back and stitch them. Hubby has been playing golf this morning, his singles match, which he lost on hole 19, a very close match, and loads of what if's.

I have done more on 2014, I am working on August, it's nice to have time to get things done.
I was listening to a podcast whilst doing the curtains, and heard " you are not the same person as you were a year ago, or 10 years, and not the same as last week" the point being made was every thing we experience changes us. I thought this a really good statement, because as I work on my book and read last years post, I can see how I have changed. When I started my blog, it was sewing, gardening and my family, today it's much the same but my outlook has changed for simpler life. Could it be I have grown to another level in my life, having children changes us and then grand children also changes us, but being aware of the wider world also impacts on our outlooks. I have changed the most in the last few years, having my tussle with cancer in 2010, opened my eyes our commercial world, and reading like minded blogs fuels this desire to opt off the mad fast world in which we live in, and find a simple life to suit hubby and myself.
