Happy Easter
Wishing you the blessings of Spring and the joy of gentle renewal!
Threading the Maze
December is flying by, and we have been out and about, travelling to Spain and Italy to both broaden our research and deepen our connections “Threading the Maze”
Great Socks of Love
Candy corn is a contentious subject- you love it or you hate it, and rarely is anyone happy to agree to disagree. I love it, “Great Socks of Love”
Small World
There is a small airport only 15 minutes from our house, and 40 minutes after take-off, you can be landing in Amsterdam – a different “Small World”
Happy Easter Monday
The crochet crew at Bodkins treated our village to a bit of woolly whimsy and colour this weekend. I am learning to appreciate the “Happy Easter Monday”

Be Mine
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Farewell to 2015

Quiet Days
The days are short now. I’m feeling a bit better, but not yet ready to be out and about, so we’re settling into a quiet routine, “Quiet Days”
