Saturday morning, it is fair to say was not good, it should have been, Andy came home. The children having hardly seen him for 3 weeks, due to night shifts, airshows, golf, detachments argued constantly trying to grab his attention. I was caught up dealing with a work issue that needed my immediate attention, tempers were fraying, it was hot, there were tears...you get the picture!! A change of scenery was required and in the afternoon, we headed out in to the fields, it's amazing how just getting outside can change things. The children ran and ran, laughed, enjoyed each others company and held hands...... all was well again.
On a stitching note, I finished this little piece which I sketched last weekend. At the moment I haven't quite decided what to stitch along the bottom, something pretty and sentimental, I think.
I've also been working on a commision for 'You are my Sunshine' .
Finally, I wanted to share this picture. I gathered the petals off the back lawn from the wild rose that grows in the hedgerow at the bottom of the garden. I never cease to find it amazing how nature can provide the most wonderful inspiration.......
Ah! I love your embroidery! It is just so pretty! I have so nearly finished my hexie quilt and then I will be purchasing one of your patterns to embroider! I'm still deciding which one to do first though!! xx

DeleteI am in love with your blog. Such lovely photos, and the stitchery-well, I couldn't scroll any further for a moment...I just adore embroidery work. Oh so glad I found you/you found me via The Fernery--thank you so much for leaving me a note. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Natalie, thank you so much for popping over to visit and your very kind words! I love taking photo's so having somewhere to share them is great, rather than them sitting there filling up the memory on my computer. I too shall enjoy visiting your blog. Well done Lisa for introducing us. Sarah xo
