Yet ….. more fabric

There’s a plan, for a really nice quilt, all in different creams, soft which probably will include lace
This is the beginning of the planning, and collecting as many ‘creams or taupe’ as they call it as possible
This part of process of doing a quilt, and I have to say, this is such a fantastic feeling.
Choosing the fabric is exciting
When will I start? I don’t know, but whoever knows me, knows that I am not in a hurry
I enjoy every single process, and Patchwork, for me is not a business…… yet!
It’s fun, it’s just simply a pleasure to be surrounded by beautiful things
Talking beautiful, there’s something in the post that is just going to be so feminine, so beautiful, so lacey……. can’t wait
And for me, life is like Patchwork, is enjoying every single day as much as I can, is having pleasure with the things that surround me
I feel blessed and I really am
I do love Patchwork, and the way it makes me feel
Enjoy life, it really is so Precious x

The garden

The weather has been great this weekend!!
Now what do you say about my olive tree bottom left?
Weird…….. well, have to wait and see what’s going to happen there
It’s so lovely to have all this green around
Love it!!!

Simply Sunday….

Waking up very early on a Sunday has it’s benefits.
Had breakfast very early, read the news, did some ironing, some cleaning,gone shopping, done lots actually.
And the best part it’s just 11.00 am, and I still have lots of time to do all the other things I want to do.
So this was lunch, well at 10.30, not really sure
It’s hot, very hot and melon and strawberries it’s all I fancied!!
Have a great Sunday everybody xx

Could we keep it round please…

This lavender looked like this in March


And in May



Where are we going from here?
Hummmm …. not sure
If you think this one is weird, wait till you see my olive tree tomorrow

Slowly …. slowly

What a week……… it’s all I can say……or was it the last two weeks.
Finally I seem to be back in the sewing machine, and this weekend and the weather helping me, it has been very productive
First I have been mixing some Cath Kidston, denim and spots.
It works perfectly.
Unfortunately I can’t show the final result but here is a taster



Then did another toiletry bag with a lovely fabric that I bought recently, and you know those things you start, and they go perfectly till the end.
No needles in your fingers, no blood, just perfect from beginning till end.
I fell in love with this one.






And then with a nice cup of coffee, nothing better than some homemade Coffee, Almond and Honey Cookies



Well as you can see it has been a very good weekend.
And I am going to start, tonight with some experiences with my new foot for the sewing machine, the gathering foot
I think that an extra dose of patience is needed.
But in this head there’s quite a few projects that have already passed to paper, just need to pass to fabric now.
That easy really……………..
Anyway have a lovely week and enjoy every single minute of it

Pause…

In a bit of a quiet moment at present.
A few years ago, I had to cope with a loss of a Special Friend, it was very hard because I dealt daily with his pain.
Suddenly another friend, is going through the same.
Again all those feelings come to me. Life is not fair. I want to enjoy every single moment. And I keep reliving all those emotions that I lived a few years ago.
What do I do in these situations?
I spend so much time thinking, reading and just relaxing
I seem to have no action, just thoughts
I go back to my books, amazing how they are capable to pull me, to give me my strength back.
I suppose we all cope in different ways, this is the way, I suppose, I cope with pain.
To be with myself, and this is confortable.
I will be back, but not yet ready until this roller coast of feelings goes through me
Enjoy life, every single minute of it…….. because it really is so short.

Time for visitors

The blog is going to be a bit quiet this week.

I have visitors arriving tomorrow, for a week, and it will be lovely, lots of sightseeing, shopping, walking and eating. Hard life really ;-)

Next week I will write about a lovely book, one of those, that you wait a bit to come out, and when you receive it, you don't want to leave it, alone, just a great book

Have a great week and see you soon xxx
