A time for

Hello! Have you all had a lovely Easter weekend? has the weather not been from heaven up above? I haven't felt so light and free spirited for a while... the weather has a lot to do with this.

We've had T***I***M***E*** such a rare and precious resource in our busy bee lives. I love time, I'm fascinated by time, it's often a mystery to me and how our brains interpret and perceive time. So these past few days we have had time for.....

Family catch ups and alfresco eating under blue heavens



Time for assisting and attending at children's art workshops at our church as part of the Eastbourne arts and culture festival....

Marbling eggs



Painting acrylic on canvas and making a collage to display in the art gallery with all our talented artists in church




Admiring and smelling flowers


Going down up to the woods and soaking up the bluebell purple haze of flower diviness


Time to kick off shoes and STOP to enjoy the green green grass


Seaside time with buckets and spades, dipping into the ocean and sand castles and ice-cream and scooting along the front


A time for some reflection


And a time for knowing my identity






And some stolen moments for learning a new skill or two :0)



I have found a pattern for 1930's style socks which are knitted on two needles and not DPN's and I am so pleased with teaching myself (via the odd helpful youtube "how to" video) this lacy technique! So watch this space I may soon be wearing these little pretties (I am knitting the heel inset at the moment and am not 100% sure if I am on the right track!!!)

I also had to find a little time to pop into my LYS for some Debbie Bliss cotton as I need a hooky project to satisfy the desire for instant gratification whilst plugging away at the socks xox


Yay, so that's me for the next little while. Toodle pip and see you soon xox
