I'd forgotten what was under the piles of paper ... smiling as my wee π anes are no longer stuck to the window π
which means I've finished bringing them to be out my pencil ✏️
Incase you're wondering why I stick them tooo my window π it's so I can see them in front of me, keeping track as they come together as a collection ... method in my madness lol ... plus they keep me entertained ... we've been ... singing a lot πΆπππ±ππΆππππ΅

⬇️ I had company yesterday morning π
Please say helloooo to our girl Rosie πΆ Glorious morning with her by my side ❤️ with only the sounds of the birds and a tractor π in the distance collecting a bale.
ππ€Έ I already know I will continue stepping π it has swiftly become my favourite part of the day ⭐ When I went full time working for myself ... I went from being on my feet a lot toooo sitting at a desk creating ... I love it ❤ but my health started to suffer ... now I down tools when Alex gets home and off we go πΆ♂️ π€Έ Now ourπΆ♀️evenings and weekends are for walking as much as we can ... chatting about our day, laughing sometimes ... the odd tears ... soon healed with a hug and the beauty of our surroundings ... finding peace in those moments.

I wish you many happy steps with Rosie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post and so much to lo0ok at. The book from Carolyn is absolutely beautiful beyond words, and so much work put into it. I love the rainbow and how thoughtful to include a tribute to Her Majesty.
I love the idea of your wee characters being stuck to the window, I just hope they do not get cold as the weather changes and winter comes in. I am sure you have made sure they are fine.
Hoping you have a wonderful weekend ahead, Hugs, Neet 4 xx
Morning Tracey. That little sewn book is a beautiful gift - so much hard work has gone into creating it. Glorious pictures of Scotland there! Enjoying being out in the wonder of creation. You know what I love about Britain? Each tiny county is so different from all the others! They all have a real separate beauty.
ReplyDeleteFancy re-discovering your pictures on the desk :-)!! Brilliant.
Take care. God bless.

What a full and wonderful blog post Tracey. Your gift from Carolyn is beautiful, what a wonderful piece of art work - a gift to treasure always. Well done on all your steps - what an achievement and Rosie looks like she's enjoying the open air life too - what a little sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week,
Diana xx #11
What a gorgeous, inspiring desk! Is that painted on top of it? Wonderful idea! I love Carolyn's stitching project - slow stitching is just something I'm getting into at the moment! Beautiful landscape shots and Rosie is such a sweetheart! xx Enjoy your week, Tracy! xx zsuzsa #16
ReplyDeleteThat book from Carolyn is just gorgeous!! I especially love the tribute to HRH. Stepping is great, I challenges myself to do 1,000 miles this year (well end January 23 really) but I doubt I'll get there it's so hard to keep up. Currently just over 600 but it's a big ask as the potential for bad weather approaches. Well, I'll be close. And I certainly feel better for it. Happy WOYWW, Cindyxx #14
ReplyDeleteI always love to see what you've been up to but I think little Rosie was a biog distraction as years ago my husband used to breed Border Terriers and the first dog I had was a border terrier so they are close to my heart for sure. We never had a Blue and Tan and Rosie is beautiful. The last one I had lived to be 19yrs. There you are told you she'd distracted me! Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x10x
ReplyDeleteMay you continue enjoying the steps with Rosie and a massive well done when you hit 1, 000, 000 Tracy. WHat a lovely glimpse of your desk surface and such a work of love from Carolyn! Woof to Rosie. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me earlier and for your lovely comments. I've managed a busy sewing day today and thankfully my mouth isn't quite so swollen although it's still rather sore. I'm on top of my sewing demands now so just got to start cooking/baking ready for the crop around my dentist appointment in the morning. I will get there :-)
What a cutie Rosie is...I hope you share lots of steps together.
Hugs,
Annie x #7
what a beautiful swap from Carolyn! enjoy the steps, Rosie will be good company. Take care and happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteFabulous post Tracy, love the photographs specially the evening one, beautiful colours. My husband has been saying he wants to holiday in Scotland next year. There is a lay-by next to Loch Lomond where we usually spend the night after the first 6 hours driving! So lovely to walk to the water’s edge in the morning. Your swap from Carolyn is lovely. Enjoy your walks with Rosie. Happy WOYWW. Angela #9
ReplyDeleteOh Tracy that little stitchy gift is so beautiful what a lovely thoughtful thing to be given. Hopefully we will take photos on Saturday so you can see what we have been up to! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteAh steps are happiest when someone one walks with you. Enjoy! That stitched book is stunning. What a lovely item to receive - you cannot be blamed for stroking it again and again. Like you my window is full of stuff but now my desk faces away from it not so cluttered as it was!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, catching up!
