Linking up to the lovely Julia who hosts WOYWW over at
I had such a welcome last week, thank you so much ladies ... I`m so sorry I missed leaving a few comments on WordPress platforms last week 😊 but determined to sort out a password so I can leave some love.
I've been waiting on the rain passing 🌧since this morning 🌄to try and get a few photos BUT the rain is here toooo stay ... apologies for the darkness in advance 😊
😊 Tidy for me 😅😁I promise yooou it's rare ... the reason being ...
I've started work on my next collection of stamps for the rest of the year ... see that stack of paper 👀that's my drawings for them ... lots of joy and peace in the creating PLUS stacks of paper as they`re all drawn by hand ... my recycle bin 😘 happily gobbles up the ones that I make mistakes with ... it's a .... lot 🤣😂😁😀 Other than when I'm staging photos ... this is the only other time you'll see it tidy 😉
⭐ This is my Dad, always beside me .. never far .. keeping him close 💕 still miss him every single day.
❤ Tooooo little things I cherish ... a stone that reminds me to be BRAVE "you can do it" ... to my collection of stone ❤'s from walks on the beach with Alex ... each one a treasure ⭐ to the tools I use in my work and can't doooo without ... mechanical pencils!
🥰 Toooooo the happiest of mail ... first up the tissue-wrapped bundle is filled toooo bursting with the most gorgeous fabric bundle ... I hugged them and swooooned ... such treasure ... toooo be made into journals soooon 😘
⭐Tooooo the box (now opened, but can't share yet till all the books are back) I put out an SOS call for Just a Girl last year over on my Facebook page 🥰 to take part in a journal using my stamps ... making friendships ... connections straight from the heart ... over 50 ladies said yes and what a beautiful journey it has been ... the love within the group is so very special and one I will treasure always ❤
🥰 My heart is full after videoing the opening a wee while ago and my eyes are teary with my soul singing with such joy inside 💕
More on this to follow in the weeks ahead.
I thought yooou might like to see where I work 😊 it's set up at our living room window ... a place I find joy through my days working ... watching my wee feathered friends along with Mr and Mrs squirrel with the odd wee moose running along the ledge halfway up the shed 🐭😘 honestly!!
I used to work in the shed many years ago but felt cut off ... then when our oldest moved out I made his room my workspace but again felt cut off 😊 sooooo now I'm in the thick of it and loooving it!
💛 I have a big branch above my desk with one of my handpainted ceramic balls hanging from it ... soon to be filled with ... gratitude tags to remind me how beautiful this life is and all I have to be thankful for every day.
💕Thank yoooou so much for taking the time to stop by 💕
Be safe, be well.
Sending love, light in the darkness, joy in your days and hugs always.

Thanks for calling by at mine earlier. What a happy blog you have. I have always picked up and kept little pebbles when I’m on a each....in fact I think I have one in the pocket of every coat I have and many in my purse 😀😀😀

Hellooo Annie 💕❤💛 thank yooou 💕❤I'm smiling reading your words ... you sound just like me ... little treasures picked up in our pockets 💛😘 have a gorgeous weekend. Huge hugs ❤💛💕❤💛❤💕💛
DeleteI used to love collecting stones from beaches or rivers. My granddaughter does the same. I never found a heart shaped one though. Happy WOYWW Angela #2
ReplyDeleteHellooo Angela 😊❤💕 little things that speak to us to lift them up are natures treasures❤💕 a stone, sea glass and twigs 😘 hopefully you both spot one next time
DeleteSending hugs xxxxxx
I love pebbles but mostly to be painted though there are some special ones that are perfect just as they are. Somewhere I have a heart shaped one that I painted red must see if I can find it again. Your view through the window is great. I do like to work in my cabin when making anything really messy but still like making cards in the house and have kept my desk there. Thanks for the visit to mine and wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x5x
ReplyDeletePretty painted pebble treasures you will have Angela 🤗 hope you find your heart shaped one 😘 I know exactoybwhat you mean ... it's those messy times and being able to shut a door that I miss 😀😅 Thank yooooou, have a gorgeous weekend big hugs 💕❤💛💕❤🥰
DeleteI really enjoy looking at your various projects, a proper source of inspiration! Love the fact that you keep your dad’s pic close by, mine went six years ago and I still miss him, so I’m sending you a big hug xx why do you like a mechanical pencil so much? I’m intrigued……

DeleteThank yooou Sarah 😊💕 the wide open sky brings me so much peace and joy when I create. Can't wait to share what I'm going to do with the fabric ... all in my head just waiting to burst out 😘❤💕💕 Huge hugs xxxx
DeleteHya Tracy, I did not know you had joined us again this week because after my initial flurry of comments I disappeared under a pile of work (and my journal page for today) and have just emerged.
ReplyDeleteSo funny but when I read your blog in my mind I do it with your lovely Scottish lilt and feel you are with me.
We have just had a hail storm, this weather is so strange, we were covered in snow a day or two ago, it is now sunny but with a slight wind. I am glad I am tucked up war inside.
Ooh, new collections? Working away with a photo of your dad for inspiration and comfort and those two wee mice.
Look forward to seeing your video of the opening of that parcel. But in the meantime I will content myself with the vision of the lovely work area you have with its overhanging branch of goodness.
Much love
Neet xx
Hellooo Neet 😘❤💕 hoping you got caught up with your work 😘 I'm smiling at you hearing my scottish lilt 😊 I have to watch when I type I don't start typing the way I talk with my wee ones 🐭😁
DeleteI'm hoping you continued to have sunshine in your days ... the weather ... never know what it's going to be from one minute to the next. Best place is toooo stay cosy inside 🤗
Dad always with me giving me help and signs ⭐ surrounded by wee ones ... I'm so happy with how the new ones are coming along 😊 filling my days with much peace.
Ohhhh the SOS journals,I'm waiting on one more 🤸♂️💕🤸♀️🤸♂️💕❤ then can reveal.
Sending so much love and hugs your way xxxxxxxxxx
