Quilt progress

The quilt is still not finished despite spending as much time as is possible, when you have two small children, working on it. It is however proving to be quite popular. Charlie thinks that I should give it to him, Josie and our next door neighbour were discussing which was their favourite fabric and Herbie, our cat, is convinced it's for her. No matter where I choose to work on it, in a matter of minutes she has appeared and is sitting on it. We have started using it on our bed at night and Herbie has slept on it every time, apart from when we took it camping at the weekend.

Firsts

It's been a day of firsts. I have been feeling a little bit under the weather and after being sick this morning I did not want to sit in the car for hours. So my husband and children have gone to visit my family without me. This did make me so sad but as there was nothing I could do about it, I thought I would just do my best to enjoy having time completely to myself. I have never been alone in the house over night. People have been away and I've been away but I have never had the whole place to myself for the whole night. I've finally got to grips with instagram and how the liking and the following and the whole thing works. I even got my first ever like which was so exciting. I'm guessing it's pretty addictive. Who should I follow? Where do I find people who love the same things as me? I think I still need a bit of help. And for the first time ever, an ironing board has been the object of my desire. I don't think that it even crossed my mind that ironing...

How do you feel about fireworks?

Happy 2019!  Fireworks over Alexandra Palace - this is what fireworks meant to me for years I appear to have taken a break from blogging, not because I wanted to but because I couldn’t find the words. I wonder if writers’ block is just a fancy way of saying, “I lost all of my words.” That’s what happened to me, I lost nearly every single one of them for quite a lot of the time for over a year. There were of course a million thoughts in my head, going at a million miles an hour but they were all caught in a massive tangle of scribble. There was no way of logically stringing them out into sentences.  Scribble it Away  That’s how I feel about fireworks. However it might be more accurate to describe the millions of trapped unspoken thoughts as a blaze in a firework factory. The easiest response to explain is the sensory overload. They are pretty, there’s no doubt about that, but they are so noisy and triggering for my hypersensitive sense of smell. I can feel the crackle of f...
