Well here's something different from me...

In 1997 my lovely sister in law (Philip's twin sister) gave me a 

Helen Steiner Rice Daily Devotional perpetual calender. 

 It has been on my office desk for 21 years now, some days I have turned the page 

over without reading the words but some days I will come across a note or notes 

that I've written in previous years.  Today was one of those days.

This was the daily devotional message.....

Everyone has his own little niche

No matter how tiny or small

For every life has a purpose

Or we wouldn't be here at all

This is what I wrote......

February 23rd 2011

" Olivia asked me to help with her school project"

February 23rd 2013 

"Took Amy to Gracie Fields Theatre to help with her performing arts"

February 23rd 2015

"Took Macy and Blossom to the pictures"

February 23rd 2018

"Made and sent a special gift to a friend who has had news she didn't want to hear"

The message on the calender was  ....

" Today, examine your talents, and whatever they are, use them to help someone in some way"

So many times over the years I have read the message

and realised that its something I have already done that day.
Looks like as an auntie and godmother I come in handy now and again.
Enjoy your day

Cover your modesty woman

If this mad friend of mine hadn’t said let’s go for a walk this morning around the reservoir where we can blow the cobwebs and calories off last night’s fish n chips and get ourselves blown to bits, full of mud and ruin our beautifully recently coiffured hair at the same time 

I wouldn’t have gone in the charity shop near where she’s lives after and ended up spending £4.50 on this fair isle waistcoat and a cord mini skirt that no decent 62 year old would be seen dead in it’s that short.  

I’ve tugged it down here to hide my modesty and so you won’t get a flash of my knickers 

We are off to see this new musical on Saturday, about the teddy boys in the late 50’s.

I better not wear that skirt if I’m going to be doing anything like what’s on the poster

Love on the Workdesk

Ooh, err ! That title sounded a bit rude. 

I’ve stitched this for my valentine of 38 years 

Now I’m working on a little project, along with several other stitchers, that starts with pulling apart a small section of a very old quilt that has been re-covered many times as it became worn.  There was even a piece of an old flannel nightdress stitched into the layers.

 I am reworking it into a piece of textile art using simple stitching.  If I crack on I’ll have it finished for next week.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my beloved. 

He’s working in a boiler in Essex somewhere.

Blow him a kiss from me if you see him

When in winter wear Welsh

It’s been a cold week

so I’ve been wearing my 

Welsh wool Tapestry clobber

Mostly it’s from vintage fairs,  some I’ve been lucky enough to find in charity shops though.

Roll on the warmer weather

What’s on my Workdesk (nothing)

Oh, help..... I’ve gone off the boil again, after thinking I’d found my Mojo last week.

 I knocked up a little bag to carry my notebooks 

and pencil in.
Well since then I’ve lost the plot and have no direction so I’ve dragged out my “go to” box when I’m stuck.

and made a strip of crazy paving ribbon

I bet the people over at What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday are more productive than me

LIFE IN LITTLE SNIPPETS

I like magazine photography, little hints of a bigger picture.

They stretch the imagination and make me want to know more about the subject

Here’s some of my life’s little snippets.  

Late night stitching 

A place to sit and be inspired 

Some crafty moments 

Thanks for popping by
